-John Churchill, First Duke of
The above quote sums up the way I feel at the moment. No meat and no alcohol has taken the fight out of me. The biggest nuisance of today? Friday is the end of the working week. Only a fool doesn’t go out drinking when the day is done. And for a month that makes me a fool. Sitting in a pub while everyone else is enjoying the nectar of Gods, sipping a variety of non-alcoholic luminous liquids, is no way to celebrate getting through a week of work. This was the first time I’ve wanted alcohol. I’ve craved meat since Day 1 but beer wasn’t desired until today. Signs of darker days ahead I reckon.
The Quorn conspiracy deepens. New evidence has come to light that shows ‘in early 2009, after reading Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s book Eat to Live, Alanis Morissette adopted a vegan diet which helped her lose weight and get healthy.’ (Source Wikipedia…of course it’s reliable!) Could it be that Morissette is using subliminal messaging through vegetarian products following the reading of this book to sell concert tickets?! So far we have a conspiracy that includes the father of British cinema, pop minstrel Alanis Morisette and a giant corporation.
In terms of food I couldn’t face eating mould today. To parody Tom Petty; the bacon is the hardest part. Whilst Friday mornings are usually celebrated with rasher filled baps at work there was none of the sweet meat today. So after a morning sitting around literally smelling the bacon, and without any coffee due to ‘bureaucratic interference’, the thought of processed fungi flavoured like meat had no appeal.
These are a few comments from members of the general public regarding Quorn:
‘It's not too bad Quorn once you get used to it’
‘Quorn is f#@$ing horrible. And it’s arrogant food. It pretends its something its not, and then laughs in your face.’
With such differing views on the darling of ICI where can one turn? Fresh ingredients had to be called for. As such the vegetarian dish of the day is:
Eggs
Ok, yes it’s a copout but you got two dish of the days yesterday so today we will discuss eggs. Eggs are the most versatile of cooking ingredients. You can fry them, scramble them, boil them (hard or soft), poach them and many more. The option I went for was an omelette. The filling was cheese and onion…
I’ll get back to the mould tomorrow!
