Diet What healthy food are you eating now? v. it's pronounced keen-waah

[G_Chem]

they say when you cook vegetables or freeze them it ruins the nutrients... is that true bluelight?

I feel like I need to IV some broccoli or some shit :/

So some nutrients will be destroyed while others will become more bioavailable.

This is why it’s good to have a mix of a fresh and cooked foods in your life. But preferably our bodies like cooked food since it’s more broken down.

Extremely. And I know it. If it were up to me we'd be having tuna on toast if we're lucky, but instead I get served stuff like this every night:

Looks absolutely amazing

So what exactly is everything there? Just curious.

You should share more pictures too cuz shit like this gives me ideas for future dishes. I love the idea of a perfectly cooked egg as the base like in this dish!

Good question! :D

The base was a parsnip and garlic mash I think? Not sure. But I remember it was E.P.I.C
Then obviously green beans, and cherry tomatoes (I think he roasted them in the oven??).
I reeeeally wish I could remember what the fish was.....but I can't.
Then pan-fried chorizo and parsnip crisps on top

 

[n3ophy7e]

that plate is very white and clean

That's cos I do the cleaning :D
He cooks, I clean

OH! And Snaf, remember we were talking about how he cooks the broccoli? You can see in this pic, how he's only JUUUUST cooked the vegies. They're still all nice and crunchy, not soft and overcooked and blergh.

that dish looks quite good actually, I didn't notice the sausage.

What's it sitting on? looks like noodle/dumpling?

I can taste that picture!!! omg

My taste in food is all about texture. I love crispy/crunchy stuff which is why I prefer my meat well done. I don't like chewy. Love crispy salad.

That dish looks extra delicious!

@G_Chem this was a classic This was a "lazy Sunday dinner". He asked what protein I felt like for dinner, I said "Hmmm maybe prawns?", and this is what I was presented with :D Hands down, THE BEST CURRY I HAVE EVER HAD, made from scratch. I was like what the actual fuck?!

What's the chorizo sitting on?? It's a piece of fish, I can't remember what type of fish unfortunately. But it was delicious, and he does the whole pan-fried crispy skin thing perfectly.

No the whole dish looks like it's sitting on something - or is that just a thick white sauce/gravy?

Oh THAT! It's a parsnip and garlic mash. Like mashed potato but using parsnip instead.

I HATE potato.
Like........I very very rarely use the word "hate" because I don't hate many things in this life. But, I HATE potato.

lol why?

they're fairly neutral in my life

I love baked potatos xD

what's with the potato hate?

also my mom always taught me hate is a very strong word. More proper to say dislike or don't care for respect, hate is truly a loaded word

Don't waste your Time snaf, she hate it, she eat meat, she doesn't care... -> She's right...

I'm a meat activist.

I only eat meat. Fuck plants. They are literally ruining the environment and melting the ice caps.

Burn all the plants and trees.

My man! I'll let you meet a friend of mine :D :

No, more seriously i'm stop trying to convince people not to eat meat... One steack bro, you know how much it coast in acres of amazonia, of water? Just for one?

 

[negrogesic]

I cook all dinners generally as my girlfriend isn't proficient. Tonight i made cod fish tacos. Its weird, I'm not a big food person but I'm a fancy cook.

I really would like to stop eating all animals other than fish (and perhaps eggs) for ethical purposes. It's cruel. But its hard not to eat beef, chicken, turkey etc. I'm no bleeding heart activist type of person but when i visualize some of the dark places that this food comes from I feel complicit in their torture.

 

[Jabberwocky]

Factory farming is disgusting and horrible - but yeah, it's hard to stop eating it.....

good news is lab grown meat is becoming practical now and affordable

I'd eat that all day

Wtf with the fish? Everybody don't give a FUCK about fishes! What's up with that?

You actually eat lab meat? That's some ricky shit right there!

 

[Jabberwocky]

Not yet, but the cost of production is very close to the price of regular meat. It will soon be a thing!

SAME!!! People turn their noses up at the idea of lab-grown meat products but I'm like pfft bitch it's literally the SAME CELLS, just grown in a petri dish. Get your puny human brain over it and fuckn eat it!

The only beef I really don't have any qualms eating is my father's beef (yes he is a beef farmer, I grew up on a beef farm), because I know for a fact that those cows are treated like royalty, are 100% organic, and killed humanely.
Plus it is delicioussssss OMFG (likely as a result of how they are treated when they're alive)
