I feel like you should at least have the ingredients that are in the name of the dish.
Crab Rangoon begs to differ, but that is an extreme example
Tartar sauce enters the room.
I forgot about cream of tartar and thought you were a cannibal for a second.
Theseus' recipe. How many ingredients can you replace before it's a different dish?
To be fair in MOST things baking substituting some banana, pumpkin, applesauce, etc. for egg will work fine (and impart some flavor so, pick which one works for what you're doing) but in an uhh egg custard.... well... That is a bit different. (Really I would probably just use like potato starch to get something that would set correctly, but you would need to adjust flavor if you wanted to get it close since that won't give egg flavor.)
In recipes that have egg as the star ingredient I add just a teeny pinch of kala namak, it adds a bit of the background sulfur flavor. I'm allergic to egg whites, but honestly I'm not sure I'd even bother with an egg custard. There are plenty of alternative desserts that dont need to be a vegan dish that's 80% starch lol
"NON-GMO"
Proceeds to use banana...
I agree that most anti-GMO stances are silly, but Cavendish bananas aren't GMO. (The history of major banana cultivars is super interesting, though!)
Almost all food crops are GMO through the practice of selective breeding. Bananas have been altered to be sterile, seedless, and have larger edible fruit.
Yes, but can us Pro-GMO get Gros Michels back into production? I'll let Monsanto inject me with 5G Tylenol vaccines for the rebirth of those yellow fatties.
This has to be bait, "no gmo gluten free vegans"?!
C'moooooon
My ex's Mom is a vegetarian (who also doesn't believe in using GMOs or a microwave) and her Dad has celiac and legitimately can't do gluten.
I hate trying to cook for them, and I REALLY hate it when they cook for me. Her Dad made these "dessert" balls that are made from flax seed and sadness the first time we met and I pretended to like them to be polite. Now he always makes me a bunch of them and I have to choke them down with a smile. I'll bee seeing them Friday and know I get to look forward to chomping on birdseed.
Also the reply says the recipe is for an egg custard tart. Why would a vegan even be looking at a recipe like that?
My wife was gluten free for awhile for health reasons on doctors orders. She would try to make the most outrageous gluten free versions of food because she missed them, but they were always terrible. I kept telling her, instead of making a bad version of a good food, make healthy food taste good.
Yep. For instance, making a vegan version of a non vegan food can turn out disappointing. But a food that is just vegan to start with? Delicious.
The benefit of the doubt would be that they liked custard tarts before going vegan and wanted to try and make a vegan version?
I've met people like this. They are real and usually not invited back.
Edit: same to anyone claiming to be allergic to msg! Mfer I just saw you drink a bloody Mary!
Thing is a ripe mashed banana can be used as an egg substitute for recipes. Not that one clearly.
Ok, but ... sometimes one just has to acknowledge that a banana isn't an egg, you know?
Probably not when it's the main ingredient like in this case
Might as well just make a banana pie
I just recently found out that (in some cakes) bananes actually can eb eggs. Pretty cool!
Someone should tell her that bananas are a GMO. So is rice, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale, and mustard. They all exist because humans modified them, if humans didn't exist then neither would those plants.
Ironically the one thing that isn't a GMO is the damn egg.
I used to try and gauge how good a recipe I found online is by reading through the comments that people leave below. However, about 10 years ago or so, I had to stop because it seemed like nearly every single one had multiple comments like this, though not quite as extreme. I think some people are like me, they must enjoy pretending to be faceboomers and leaving ridiculous comments on random sites. I still remember one that I read a while ago that gave me a giant chuckle. But most of them just give me heart burn. Then again so does eggs.
I love recipe comments like these. It is really just insight into how absolutely ludicrous and entitled people are. Why can't your recipe simply bend reality to my will, and modify itself into what I desire to give me the outcome of my dreams.
"Instead of chicken I used an unborn cow's fetus and it tasted a bit funny, 1/5 stars"
We didn't have any potatoes on hand for the potato salad so we used diced up and used our pet clown fish instead. It tasted funny.
I tried a recipe for a cake but I substituted the dry ingredients for buns because they're already baked, I replaced the chocolate with burger, and I replaced the frosting with sauce. Can anyone explain to me why my cake tastes like a hamburger now?
A+ for diplomacy
I would like to believe people like this don't exist. But sadly, they do.
The usual vegan recipe complaint: "I wanted to follow your recipe for grandma's meatloaf, but substituted anything offending with the first thing I found on google. Your meatloaf neither looks nor tastes like my Grandma's!"
People making changes to recipes and then complaining it didn’t turn out.
