A lot of Lebanese shops sell sorrel. Sorrel is just clovers. 50% of people setting this meme are 100 meters or less from sorrel right now.

The staple foods we've chosen to cultivate are all energy dense. Overheard a client talking to another guy he hadn't seen in years, "Yeah, got diabetes. Can't eat any white foods. :("

That really got me thinking. Rice, potatoes, wheat and corn. The core desirability is energy.

Add something like beans to fix nitrogen and add missing nutrients, you're all set.

Here I go thinking about the three sisters again.

Well, there's blackberries. And if you look over there, you'll see...huh, I guess that's covered by blackberries now too.

If the word "prefer" is in this meme, we might need another pass for tone.

I had native persimmons for the first time today! In Virginia.

If you can't kill it or fuck it then eat it. It's that easy.

i tried to use corn syrup as a vegan honey substitute for a glaze of spiced nuts for roasted carrots and let me tell you that corn taste is a bit off and I really should have just like idk made a simple syrup with sugar or something. Maybe just toss the nuts with brown sugar and spices and bake it, idk.

i wish vegans would just eat honey it's just bees I didn't vote to consider bugs animals (but even though I disagree i'm not gonna feed people honey like the cooks I work with who sometimes "forget" it isn't vegan)

Maple syrup could have worked. But yeah, it's often also worth changing up plans, like maybe just roast the nuts as well and put them on top with some chives or balsamico creme for the looks. Of course, I don't know what kind of constraints you're working with, though...

I work at a private college and i'm not in a management position so I don't do any ordering and am constrained by budget but everyone loves, respects and fears my powerful ability to cook so I can pretty much freestyle dishes however I want to as long as i'm getting the food out on time and it tastes good

I haven't asked about honey substitutes yet but I've recently gotten them to try a vegan chicken stock that has proven really adequate for adding a lot of flavor to risotto or fake chicken dishes, and i just got them to try a different vegan mozzarella that turned out to be better than the sysco brand shit they were getting

Getting an allotment, so soon I will be able to grow things I don't normally eat because they are expensive or aren't sold in shops here.
