I love your basic Jerkins dill pickle, and I love the sweet pickles and the bread and butter pickles, but I have had some of the pickles that you are referring to, Toasted Cheese, and they were way too spicy! I was not expecting! But, I am definitely a vinegar type of guy!
I guess I am a little bit confused as to how chicken, beef and pork can be vegan products. Did I read this right? Is it meat-flavored, but no actual meat? I know you are a vegetarian, Toasted Cheese, and I say good for you... That would require a lot of discipline, I would think. I have a friend who is vegetarian and when we go out to a restaurant if he wants to order fries or something, he has to ask the waitress if the potatoes are prepared in chicken fat.
I have always loved vegetables and can picture your dish... Were there onions and peppers? What was the Mongolian sauce like? I love sauces. I am pretty much a sauce queen.
That's cool that you go out to dinner with your parents. Who has the more adventurous palette, your mom or your dad? My parents are not open minded at all when it comes to food. Especially my dad. His diet consists of red meat, potatoes, beans, onions and Coca-cola. But he seems to be healthy as a horse.
I've never come across fried ice cream in a Chinese restaurant; however, there is a Thai restaurant not too far from me that has the most delicious ice cream flavors, like guava and mango and pistachio and red bean and green tea and coconut, I can't even pick a favorite, and they come in these individual size containers and they are kind of expensive, but they are soooooo good!
As far as Ethiopian food goes, the restaurant I went to - like 25 years ago - is still up and running. I go past there all the time and it is always busy, so I don't feel too guilty about making fun of it. "has a scraping action in the system..." That's a new one!
Oh, my God! I love Rory, but Nancy is priceless! You just can't take your eyes off her facial reactions and she keeps them coming. My favorite might be when she drinks her beer a little too fast @ 43 seconds and she has to place her hand on her chest to counter the indigestion! Ha!
My dad is the most fussy eater ever, but he has always liked Chinese and the sizzling plates. He usually gets black bean. My mother is more adventurous.
I like the occasional pickled veg, like onion or dill cucumber. I don't find it very agreeable with my system though, it is heating and not that good for the skin. I would rather have more lettuce and raw vegetable, than pickles with my falafels.
The vegetarian restaurant makes it dishes out of soy and vegetable proteins. The chicken texture is actually quite nice. I don't care for the fake beef. I am not sure of the nutritional value either. At any rate, it is a nice treat to get sweet and sour pork, or honey chicken and know it is not a dead animal I am eating and looks and tastes pretty much the same.
Here is a photo of one of my actual desserts I took of a deep fried icecream over a year ago. So yummy Mr. Dirty and the ice-cream comes nice and hard inside and the batter is like coconut sometimes. It depends on where you go. The vege Chinese discussing, allows you to choose your flavor of ice-cream, but the batter is very bland and ordinary. I just like plain vanilla, with a nice crunchy batter:
My vegetarian friend says the same thing when somebody orders a meat dish... "dead animal" He always cited Brenda from the first "Friday, the 13th" as his favorite because she was a vegetarian! lol. She was my favorite, too, but that had more to do with the fact she was so pretty and seemed the coolest and nicest of the kids. She should have been the final girl, instead of bland Alice.
Wow, I am really pin balling it tonight.
