@alondracarreno1376 4 жыл бұрын
This isn't an outrageous substitute. It originated in Cuba where some people struggle to survive and find food. It wasn't made to be vegan, it was made to feed starving people who were craving meat but could not afford it. When people live in scarcity, they use whatever they can and they become as creative as possible.
@abigailkueter5172 4 жыл бұрын
I’ve tried most of these recipes, and while they are ok, have no nutritional value. (As a vegan) I think vegan food is much better when it’s just its own thing instead of trying to imitate meat. Edit: thanks for all the likes and different opinions in the comments!

I knew this video was familiar! It reminds me of Emmy’s video, grapefruit peel steak (bistec de toronja)! She also said that it the bitter taste is also quite pronounced! There’s actually history behind this dish (which I can’t really put into word better than Emmy can) so if y’all interested in the origin of this dish, I definitely recommend watching Emmy’s video! It really gives you perspective about the dish as more than just being a vegan alternative to meat.

I did community service in south kalimantan, Indonesia. The people love to eat whats called mandai, its basically cooked cempedak peels (a fruit that is very similar to jackfruit but a lot sweeter). It tasted sour and salty but fresh at the same time. Kinda have similar feelings with kimchi. But the texture resembles chicken tender.
