This a great variation: definitely a "to-try" list because there are so many of these I haven't heard of or wouldn't think to make myself! I'm especially intrigued by the tamales dulces since Three Kings Day reminds me of the sweet pan de reyes we used to make in elementary school.
I like this list! Reminds me of the other things I wish to try but forget to make. Oye, I need to write it all down! Raw coconut creme pie is sooo good. I totally get staying away from processed foods, I avoid it as well. I think the only reason I have had so many of the things that were processed because I worked hard at transitioning my boyfriend, and things like tofurkey helped him along. I'm already a germophobe and hate not having organic foods...no processed foods is bound to occur at some point lol.
I only have been successful in growing my own basil and tomatoes, I blame it on being a mile high in Denver. Next year I hope to conquer some more veggies though. And since I make my own compost, that'll surely help! Thanks for the list, I really enjoyed it!
Ah, this is quite a challenge! Again, lots of things I never ate. (I never even eaten # 11. I know Americans totally dig it, but I just can't convince myself to try it. It sounds so gross!
I was quite surprised when I read # 46, stroopwafels. One of the better Dutch inventions I think!
What a great list! There are a lot of things on this list that I hadn't heard of or tried yet, or ones that I'd tried but with a lot less-interesting types of ingredients. My list needs to be all bold at some point - it'll be a challenge but it'll be worth it.
Hi :) (from the k2sc1 blog, btw)(it's nice to find so many vegan bloggers, thanks to Hannah's list).
In response to your comment: I crossed out knish on my list because I've never heard of it before and the picture didn't look appealing. The word sweet potatoes also caught my eye (I don't like sweet potatoes usually). But you know, if it was made with white potatoes, spinach, onion and broccoli as the main ingredients, I probably would give it a try. I'll look for a recipe.
I've also never heard of spanakopita. I suppose if you used tofu instead of egg and replaced the other dairy stuff, it'd be sort of like a tofu scramble in phyllo pastry, and that sounds good. :)
Anyway, you posted an interesting list. I've only had 26 of these things, so I have some work to do! The raw lasagna sounds interesting.
As for raw pickles - and this caught my attention because I know my mother is making pickles today - I'll have to look that up, because her method involves a lot of hot water.
Veronica - sweet tamales are great, I have had them but haven't ever made them. There's a lot of tamales available in the SF Bay Area but I have yet to find sweet tamales "in season."
Veganverve - I'll put up a recipe for raw coconut creme pie -- it's pretty easy and I need little excuse to make it.
Sanja - PB&J doesn't have to be a scary experience! I like to substitute other nut butters most of the time -- cashew, almond and pistachio are all good options, and maybe some plum habanero jelly.
Oops - you can only get that at my house, so if you're here, I'll have to insist you visit so you can try a tiny pistachio-plum habanero jelly sandwich.
I kept #46 "stroopwafels" -- and intended to add "pizzelles" as an alternate since they are both flat cookies made between hot metal plates... yum!
ffi - thanks! I just checked out your list - it's really fun to see other people's lists.
Amethyst Great socks! I don't know of knish being made with sweet potato, here's a great blog entry from a NY Vegan with some yummy knish photos. Some recipes I looked up call for eggs, but "Vegan with a Vengeance" has recipes for both knishes and spanakopita.
Spanakopita are not like scrambled tofu in phyllo -- you gotta make sure you get a lot of the moisture out of the ingredients or your phyllow won't crisp up. The good news is that you get to squeeze out and reserve the green juicy goodness from the spinach and reserve it for soups or making green, spinachy pasta noodles. Then you mix the spinach, onions, garlic, dill with firm tofu (press it to get water out), brewer's yeast, salt, and dill -- with your hands. Smoosh it up and then wrap it in the phyllo -- it's so yummy -- none of my omnivore friends knew they were vegan and the whole plate vanished in minutes.
Organic, whole wheat (vegan) phyllo is available at Whole Foods near me from "Fillo Factory".
For raw pickles, try "Wild Ferentation." I should post a recipe but basically - you slice up some cucumbers or any other veg (cauliflower, carrots, jalapeno, onion) and mix with brine (salty enough to taste like the ocean) and let it sit out and do its thing. Don't cover it tightly or you'll have a lotta of fizz and maybe some mess when you open.
Another great list of yummy things to try.
And saving the squeezed juice from spinach is such a great idea. I always just wash it down the drain-what a waste!
This is great, I'm glad that there's a version of this for absolutely everyone! Thanks for giving mine a spin as well. :)
Gosh, now I'll have to consider your fine list too.
