I plan to try this recipe, but have to be careful: cauliflower is high in vitamin K 😦 So this will be a special cheat meal, like blueberries in Greek yogurt.
It’s one of the more interesting aspects of diet, seeing the substitution for the meals we miss. I remember the concept being mentioned in a Ghost in the Shell: 2nd Gig episode (#8), where a character is surprised that a restaurant they were staking out made vegetarian food that was modeled to look(/taste/texture?) like meat dishes. Another character gave some succinct insight about why: the cooks weren’t monks at birth.
Which in turn reminded me of an article I read years before in Utne Reader about an author who could no longer eat due to cancer (portions of the throat had to be removed?). I can’t find the article, but I remember the description of how the desire to eat – the taste, texture, and act – still remained though intravenous was the only option. While the article was quite sad, it was a window into a very unique world.
The “vegan wings” recipe holds a place along side the Black Bean Brownies for interesting, cool and healthy recipes. But that quinoa flour is stupidly expensive…
