Double Reconstruction – The (veg) Samui Benedict

Eggs Benedict is an iconic breakfast dish. Created in 1894 by Lemuel Benedict, who at the time trying to cure a massive hangover, ordered for buttered toast, crispy bacon, poached eggs and a whole lot of hollandaise sauce, all put together on a single plate, and thus a legendary dish was born.

Vegetarian Test Run – Pasta and Fries

 

You are a hard-core meat eater. A myriad collection of animal bits and pieces populate your dreams. You have taken a special someone out for a good meal to that awesome place you know of. Your guest turns out to be vegetarian…. boom… Decision time – Eat your favourite juicy, meaty, perhaps RED delicacy you had been dreaming of for the past hour and kill the date. Or kill that truest part of your being and concede to palate bland food that you decree to be fit only for cattle.

Are there only two choices??? Must I fall victim no matter what I choose?? There has to be another option.

In this blog I explore vegetarian food that is palatable by us hard-core carnivores. Food that while being intrinsically vegetarian, has that full, rich sharp and sometimes pungent flavours that we crave.

With this blog in your hands, or perhaps pockets, it should not matter whether you are stuck in a vegetarian relationship or been told to be off meat for good, you will be able to find food that, while veg will somewhat assuage your meat cravings.
