Cooking Tonight (continued)

[veggiechicken]

Lunch: up the valley. Should be interesting. Vegan tortilla made of pumpkin. Mr Snoop says it's entirely fair to call it a tortilla because it gives people an idea of what to expect. Me, I'm happy to cook and eat vegan food. But as a cook, I expect a tortilla to have eggs in it. Mr Snoop says I'm a stick in the mud. Probably right.

Supper: Briam. If it's just us, I'll add a bit of feta. If not, it can go vegan too.

A Tortilla to me is made of flour like a chapatti.

It was purchased in Lidl, so ready made. Turned out not to be pumpkin but potato. I had a look at the ingredients. This is the Google Translate translation:50% fried potato (potato, sunflower oil), water, 11% fried onion (onion, virgin olive oil, salt), 8% dried whole cooked chickpeas, olive oil, salt, vegetable fiber (pea, sugarcane, bamboo), acidulant: citric acid; stabilizer: xanthan gum.
There's a picture here:

It looks the part, as you can see, but doesn't taste just like the real thing, whatever the headline above with the picture suggests. We shared one between three (doled out by the host) and at the end of my third I felt a bit stodged out with all the potato. That said, I've eaten much worse supermarket tortillas with eggs than this.

It was an interesting experiment. It was good enough that I'd buy one for an emergency meal on the road, but not for eating at home.

We do quite like the Lidl veggie burgers (not the ones with green beans, which are an abomination).

Specially for VC:

It's a handy dish to have in your repertoire. Not expensive, not difficult, ingredients lots of people have in their home and usually pretty tasty.

Just been shopping so Roast chicken, roast parsnips, mashed potato and swede, carrots, cabbage and gravy. I'm just deciding whether to make some sage and onion stuffing with it. I love it but it doesn't really like me.....Maybe just a small amount.
Just decided to have Yorkshire puddings as well...... Yum yum.
