Silken tofu! You can blend it into like your tomato sauce for a pasta and shit like that.
Also take a look at indian cuisine, there's a lot that is just naturally vegan 🤷🏼♂️
Roasted edamame snacks are also supreme
I’ve never tried silken tofu but I’ve always wanted to, I can just never seem to find it in the stores I usually frequent. I’ll have to look harder for it! I do love indian food, and when I have the spoons I like to make a basic curry and look at different recipes from different parts of the country. Edamame is super tasty.
#ask me stuff!#food#my main hang up is my adhd keeps me in strict habits#so yall are helping me trick myself out of those lol

MINUTAL MATIANUM (ROMAN PORK WITH APPLES, 1st c.)
It's a been a tougher week than usual - my husband broke his leg and had surgery, and I'm dealing with some dental pain - but amongst it all, I thought it would be a good idea to treat ourselves with a Tasting History dish that is especially hearty and comforting: Minutal Matianum (Roman Pork with Apples). From the quintessential Roman source by Apicius from the 1st c., De Re Coquinaria, this meat dish is made using ingredients that would have been available to Roman soldiers in Britain, near forts in the area of Hadrian's Wall. This hearty dish was probably closer to what the officers of the Roman army would have eaten rather than the foot soldiers, however. I decided to make this dish because my husband and I have enjoyed most of the Roman recipes I've made so far, and Max exclaimed this was the best Roman dish even he had made so far. We hope this dish provides us with the fortitude of a Roman soldier on the frontiers! See Max’s video on how to make the dish here or see the ingredients and process at the end of this post, sourced from his website.
My experience making it:
As usual for me with Roman recipes, I struggled to compile all of the specific listed ingredients, but I did my best! I sourced a pork shoulder from our local butcher, and for the ground meat, I used a mix of 60% beef and 40% pork (a very common mixture here in Germany). For the pork roast rub, I used oil, a bit of salt, lots of pepper, and a tablespoon and a half of linden tree blossom honey. For the meatballs, I didn't use any egg to bind them, as I didn't have any on hand. Instead of garum, I used an Asian fish sauce (which Max suggests as a substitute). For the apples, I used some sweet Pink Lady apples (which I definitely snacked on while I was cooking). Instead of the long pepper Max used, I used the tablespoon of peppercorns. I decided to omit the asafoetida completely, as I couldn't find it at 4 different supermarkets, including the bio-supermarket and the Turkish supermarket. I've recently learned that I should look instead at an Indian supermarket, so now I'm on the hunt for one! I reduced grape juice myself to make defrutum, as Saba seems a little expensive. Instead of starch/cornflour, I used regular white flour, since I think they would function fairly similarly.
First, I set out making the rub for the pork roast. Nice and simple with olive oil, salt, pepper, and honey, I loved that I could customize this part to my tastes (give me that sharp pepper taste!). Next, because I didn't have a roasting rack, I made one myself out of tin foil by taking a large sheet, rolling it into a snake shape, and curving it into a zig-zag pattern on top of a layer of tinfoil at the bottom of my pan. It fit the pork perfectly, and then I added the rub and tossed it in the oven. My pork shoulder was just over 2 pounds, so I roasted it for just over 2 hours. While it was cooking, I rolled my meatballs (sans egg), ground my spices for the sauce in the mortar and pestle (which took awhile), and chopped and portioned the ingredients for the next steps. When the pork was almost done cooking, I began cooking the meatballs in olive oil, also adding in the leeks. I added in the chicken stock and garum, stirring to get any bits from the bottom to release their flavour.
While this cooked on the stovetop, the pork roast was ready to take out of the oven. It looked wonderful and smelled delicious! I let it sit for a little bit, then chopped it into cubes and added them to the pot with the meatballs. I added in the cilantro, then a little bit more chicken stock so the pork and meatballs were 3/4 submerged and sizzling nicely in the juices. I simmered it for 15 minutes, then added the apple chunks. I simmered it further, but for less than the 20 minutes in the recipe (more like 15). I portioned the meat and apples into our serving bowls to cool a little while I prepared the quick sauce, being sure to leave some of the juices in order to provide the base to the sauce. I added the juices, defrutum, white wine vinegar, garum, and honey to a pot, added the crushed spices/herbs, and brought it to a light boil, stirring often. I made a roux with some flour by mixing a bit of water into it, then added it to my sauce to thicken it. By the looks of it, I think I ended up thickening it a decent amount more than Max did, but I like a thicker sauce, so I wasn't too upset about that. I took it off the heat once it was combined and thickened, and drizzled it over the pork, meatballs, and apples. It looked absolutely scrumptious - the sauce added a nice silky shine to the meat, the leeks added a pretty green, the peppercorns some texture, and the apples a beautiful yellow and red pop of colour. I served the Minutal Matianum with a side Greek Salad to balance the heaviness of the meat.
My experience tasting it:
I made sure my first bite was with pork, apple, and some sauce - it was very tasty! The pork was tender enough, but I might have overcooked it just a little. Luckily, the tougher, hearty texture was balanced by the crisp and light flavour of the apple and the acidity, sweetness, spice-infused, and herbed flavour of the silky gravy-like sauce. Like Max mentioned, the sauce first tastes a bit sour due to the vinegar, but it melts into a sweetness from the defrutum and honey. It is still a very 'Roman' flavour of sauce - I could taste hints of the previous Roman sauces I have made in other dishes in this one, but this one was more like a gravy, and maybe more in line with the modern palate. In terms of herbs and spices, I found that peppercorn and cilantro were the most forward in the sauce - the mint and cumin were just barely there. I decided to make my next bite a meatball with some sauce, apple and leek: an absolute winning combo! I don't always have time to make a pork roast, so I can't see myself making Minutal Matianum often in its complete form, but I will most certainly make the sauce with apples and meatballs again in the future. Like Max, my husband and I both agreed this is our favourite of the Roman dishes I've made so far. This is a great meal for late fall/early winter, and I will probably make it again as the weather gets colder this fall. If you end up making this dish, if you liked it, or if you changed anything from the original recipe, do let me know!

Long Pepper
Flor de Garum
Colatura di Alici (Garum substitute)
Saba (Defrutum)
Asafoetida
Minutal Matianum (Roman Pork with Apples) original recipe (1st c.)
Sourced from De Re Coquinaria by Apicius, 1st century.
Put oil, garum, stock, chopped leek and cilantro and small ground meatballs in a pot. Chop previously cooked shoulder of pork with skin into cubes. Cook all together. Half-way through cooking add cored and diced Matian apples. While it cooks, grind pepper, cumin, cilantro and coriander seed, mint, and silphium root, pour in vinegar, honey, garum, defrutum, and some of the cooking liquid. Adjust the flavors with vinegar.

Modern Recipe
Based on De Re Coquinaria by Apicius (1st c.) and Max Miller’s version in his Tasting History video.
Ingredients:
Roasted Pork
Pork shoulder
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Honey
Pork and Apples
1 tbsp olive oil
3/4 lb (340g) ground pork or beef, shaped into 1” balls
1 cup chopped leek
1 cup (235ml) chicken stock, plus extra as needed
2 teaspoons garum*
Small handful chopped cilantro
1 lb (450g) roasted pork, cut into cubes
1 lb (450g) sweet apples, cored and cut into about 1” pieces
Sauce
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp chopped cilantro
1 tbsp coriander seeds
2 tsp chopped mint
4 long peppers or 1 tbsp of peppercorns
1/2 tsp asafoetida
1/4 cup (60ml) white wine vinegar
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp garum*
1/4 cup (60ml) defrutum**
1/4 cup (60ml) cooking liquid from the pork and apples
2 tsp starch or cornflour
*Garum was a fermented fish sauce that was used in a lot of ancient Roman cooking. You can buy a modern equivalent or use an Asian fish sauce.
**Defrutum was a 1/3 reduction of grape must. Today, Saba is pretty much the same thing. It can be expensive, so you can reduce some grape juice instead.
Method:
For the roasted pork: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with foil, then place a roasting rack on top of it.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, and honey. There should be enough to coat the pork roast. Adjust the amounts to your liking.
Brush the olive oil mixture onto the pork, then roast for 15 minutes.
Lower the temperature to 275°F (135°C) and cook for about an hour per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
For the pork and apples: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, then add the meatballs and leeks and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they start to brown.
Deglaze the pot with the chicken stock and garum. Toss in the cilantro and roasted pork. Add enough additional chicken stock so that it covers the bottom of the pot.
Simmer for 15 minutes, adding more stock if necessary.
Add the apples, then cook for another 20 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked.
For the sauce: Grind the spices and herbs with a mortar and pestle, then put them in a saucepan with the liquid ingredients. Stir together and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Mix the starch with a little water, then add it to the sauce. Simmer for a couple of minutes until it thickens.
To serve: Dish the pork and apples into a bowl, drizzle with the sauce, and serve it forth.

IT ME- YA BOI- AGAIN!:D
Anyway.
For your TWST ocs, what do you feel would be their favorite snacks? EXCLUDING HUMANS. Like do they have a quick or filling comfort snack or meal after a long day or maybe when they’re down?
Well, in the case of three of my six canon pred OCs, humans actually ARE their favorite snack or meal, although I don't necessarily know if they count as "comfort food" for any of them. XD For Billy, I think his favorite type of treat would be chocolate. In terms of a full meal...he has a family recipe for a chocolate-glazed pot roast that he finds absolutely delicious (as well as massively fattening). That's not really a snack, because obviously it's something that takes time to make, but it is a meal he loves making from time to time. Chocolate, in general, however, is definitely something he enjoys. He also likes marshmallows, which...given how squishy he is, that seems only fitting. Ha ha. For Nakoda, he likes sweet breads, pastries, and pudding. As I said in an Ask a while back, his "comfort breakfast" is a dish called Puri, which is an Indian staple that consists of light, airy sweet bread served WITH pudding. When he can't get that, he just likes that kind of stuff in general. It's light, sweet, and simple. Elias LOVES bacon. He will buy packs of pre-made bacon strips, and just...have those, the way a person might eat sticks of jerky or something. He's a dog boy, after all, and we all know how dogs get over "Beggin' Strips." ;) Reno is a junk food addict. He loves cheeseburgers, fries, potato chips, onion rings, all that stuff. He likes sweet things too, especially mellowcreme candies (such as candy corn or mellowcreme pumpkins), but he's happiest with food that is thick, juicy, savory, and more than a bit greasy. Also drinks a LOT of soda. James I don't think DOES comfort food. Not in the TYPICAL way, anyhow. There's nothing he considers truly "comforting" that he can just...sort of buy at the store really quick or whip up in a few minutes. About the closest thing that probably comes close is good old bread-and-butter with jelly. He does, however, very much like seafood, and also poultry-based dishes, of various sorts. (Much like Ace, though, he isn't a fan of oysters.) Speaking of seafood, this is also a favorite for Smitty and Maelstrom. Smitty's "comfort food" is fishsticks: while he does like more "sophisticated" forms of fish-based cuisine, fishsticks are something of a childhood favorite, hence why I classify them, for him, as "comfort food." Maelstrom prefers sushi, sashimi, and ESPECIALLY kalimari, although it's hard to say if that last one qualifies as typical "comfort snack" type stuff. Theodore has a sweet tooth. He particularly loves hard candies, such as lollipops and gobstoppers, as well as red licorice, and a few forms of sweet bread, such as gingerbread. It's something a lot of people don't expect when they first meet him, but he REALLY enjoys sweet and sugary stuff. It's a combo of a fast metabolism and him keeping himself decently in shape that prevents him from gaining about a billion tons of weight. XD Finally, Grit has a love for lime creme pie and hot cocoa. This is actually a reference to "Return to Oz," where the Nome King - his inspiration - dines on "Limestone Pie and Hot Melted Silver" in front of Dorothy and her friends. Since Grit is only HALF Nome, I figure he'd prefer the more human-friendly version of the same. XD In-canon, the reason he loves these so much is because of his Mom. No one makes them the way she does, but he loves them even when they are "inferior copies." Ha Ha.

A Peek Into History: The Role of Dry Fruits in Bharat’s Culture
India has always been a hub of trade and agriculture, with dry fruits playing a significant role in its history. From the Silk Road to the bustling markets of ancient Bharat, dry fruits were considered a prized commodity. They were gifted to royalty, used in religious offerings, and incorporated into festive recipes. Almonds, pistachios, cashews, raisins, and figs—each type of dry fruit carried its own unique story and cultural significance.
Even today, no Indian festival or celebration is complete without a box of assorted dry fruits. They symbolize prosperity, good health, and happiness, making them an integral part of the nation’s culinary heritage.
Nutritional Goldmine: Why Dry Fruits Are a Must-Have
Dry fruits are not just delicious; they are a treasure trove of essential nutrients. Packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fats, they provide a host of health benefits, including:
Boosting Immunity: Almonds and walnuts are rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants, which help combat free radicals and strengthen your immune system.
Enhancing Brain Health: Walnuts, often referred to as "brain food," are packed with omega-3 fatty acids that promote cognitive function and memory.
Improving Digestion: Raisins and figs are high in dietary fiber, aiding digestion and preventing constipation.
Heart Health: Pistachios and cashews contain heart-friendly fats that help reduce bad cholesterol levels and improve cardiovascular health.
Energy Booster: Dates and apricots are natural energy boosters, providing an instant supply of glucose and essential nutrients.
Incorporating Dry Fruits Into Your Diet
Adding Bharat dry fruits to your daily routine is both easy and enjoyable. Here are some simple yet creative ways to savor their goodness:
Morning Boost: Start your day with a handful of soaked almonds or walnuts for a nutrient-packed breakfast.
Healthy Snacking: Replace unhealthy chips and cookies with roasted pistachios or salted cashews for a guilt-free snack.
Smoothies and Desserts: Blend dry fruits into smoothies, sprinkle them on desserts, or use them as toppings for yogurt.
Festive Recipes: Incorporate dry fruits into traditional recipes like biryani, kheer, or ladoos to enhance flavor and nutrition.
Trail Mix: Prepare a homemade trail mix by combining your favorite dry fruits with seeds and a pinch of dark chocolate for an on-the-go snack.
Choosing Quality Dry Fruits: Tips and Tricks
Not all dry fruits are created equal. To ensure you’re getting the best, keep these tips in mind:
Check for Freshness: Fresh dry fruits should have a natural aroma and vibrant color. Avoid those that appear stale or overly dried.
Opt for Organic: Organic dry fruits are free from harmful chemicals and preservatives, making them a healthier choice.
Buy from Reputable Sources: Trustworthy brands or local markets known for their quality will ensure you get the best Bharat dry fruits.
Store Properly: Keep your dry fruits in airtight containers in a cool, dry place to maintain their freshness and crunchiness.
Dry Fruits and Weight Management
One of the common myths surrounding dry fruits is that they lead to weight gain. While it’s true that they are calorie-dense, consuming them in moderation can support weight management. The high fiber content keeps you full for longer, reducing unhealthy cravings. So, instead of reaching for a sugary snack, grab a handful of almonds or a few dates for a quick, healthy fix.
The Environmental Impact of Choosing Local
When you opt for Bharat dry fruits, you’re not just investing in your health but also supporting local farmers and sustainable agriculture. Many Indian regions, like Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra, are known for their high-quality dry fruit production. By choosing locally sourced dry fruits, you reduce your carbon footprint and promote the nation’s agricultural economy.
Fun Facts About Dry Fruits
Cashews are technically seeds, not nuts.
Almond trees were first cultivated in regions around the Indus River.
Raisins were discovered accidentally when grapes were left to dry under the sun.
Walnuts are one of the oldest tree foods known to humanity, dating back to 7000 B.C.

These blends can elevate grilled meats, enhance roasted vegetables, or boost the flavor of lentil dishes. Don't hesitate to experiment with different ratios and spices like paprika or ginger, creating unique profiles that suit your taste. Enjoy the process and savor the delicious results!

Coriander seeds are a fantastic addition to pickling brines. Their warm, citrusy notes enhance the flavor of pickled vegetables, adding complexity to the preservation process. Next time you prepare pickles, consider adding a tablespoon of coriander seeds to the brine for an aromatic twist.
Flavorful Rice and Grains
Incorporate coriander seeds into your rice or grain dishes for added aroma and taste. Toast the seeds lightly and add them to rice, quinoa, or couscous cooking water. This simple step infuses the grains with a subtle, nutty flavor accompanying various main courses.
