How does that even?

@QueenCold  
Looks like porridge. XD

Blanched, drained and mashed silken tofu mixed with some soy milk, egg replacement powder, canola oil, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, marjoram and tumeric. After frying it I put it in a bowl with white rice and a tiny bit of regular soy sauce. Was pretty good.

@SeraphimDawn  
It had only been in the pan for about a minute at that point. It came out well, the texture and taste reminding me of poached egg, which was something I made for my lunches all the time way back.

@QueenCold  
Does it dawn to you that tofu are like the “cheese” for East Asians. Just like how there are a ton of Cheese varieties in Europe. Tofu varies in Asia.

@SeraphimDawn  
I’ve often thought of it that way. It makes sense. It even looks like cheese.

@QueenCold  
My parents appear to like fried stinky tofu. But I cannot take the odor myself. Yet, I am really comfortable with Durian fruit in contrast.

Tomaticán, aka thick meat stew with plenty of carrot, onion, corn, spices, tomato and tomato sauce.  

 
 
A serving, accompanied with rice and creamed potatoes.

@Anonycat  
Pics are broken.
 
 
@SeraphimDawn  
I can’t stand to be around stinky foods, let alone eat them. I have had durian flavored snacks before, but they were obviously lacking the odor.

@QueenCold  
Blue Cheese?  
Sauerkraut?

@SquiggyBomb  
Sauerkraut doesn’t smell that strong

@QueenCold  
Some of my friends have said it’s smells like diapers.

But I love sauerkraut and blue cheese :( <3
 
Try jujube fruits AKA Red dates or Chinese dates.  
They’re sort of like pears.

@SquiggyBomb  
They’ve either stumbled upon the world’s strangest diapers or had really bad sauerkraut.

@QueenCold  
Weird, they are visible for me.  
Are they still broken for you?

Going to make burgers tonight. I’m putting sharp cheddar, tomato, avocado, and raspberry-merlot vinaigrette dressed kale/chard blend, on a ciabatta bun.
 
Simple is overrated.

@Anonycat  
They are for me.
 
 
Anyone else having trouble seeing the pics?

@QueenCold  
I am too.

I can’t seem to find any good Gluten related dish because I keep getting flooded by “Gluten-Free” dishes, which are the opposite of what I’m looking for.

@SeraphimDawn  
Seitan’s made of gluten and there are endless possibilities with that.

You can also use gluten to improve your homemade bread.

@QueenCold  
Yeah…  
But every time I search up “gluten” or anything with that word. I get bombarded by all these “gluten free” stuff.
 
Nice! Saved.

@SeraphimDawn  
One could say you are a glutten for punishment!
 

@Anonycat  
Carlos!

The reason why gluten-free foods are so big right now is because gluten-free is “in”. People don’t know anything about food and are too lazy to do any research. Instead they go for things that either sound - or are advertised as - healthy, usually both. As it currently stands, the food industry decides what’s “healthy” and what isn’t, and the people quite literally eat it up. Not that the food industry is specifically telling us that ingesting gluten is a bad idea; however, they have been teaching us, that “if the package says it’s devoid of something, that means it’s good for you”.  
The truth is: products that contain gluten are only harmful if you’re allergic. There are many allergies that are far more common than gluten sensitivity.
