Daikon -- now there is some good stuff!

[Pool Hall Ace]

It wasn't that long ago I didn't even know what it was. Now, I think it's one of the most versatile foods going! I can peel 'em, soak 'em, and eat 'em raw, throw them in to stir-fry meals, or make French Fries out of them! Alton Brown shows you the right way to do it!

I also like avocado that isn't drowning in salt (that's the only way it was served to me before).

Now if only I could find decent dairy-free cheese in my area (I backslid last night -- big mistake). Some stores have offered to order me a case (with a 10% discount, even), but I don't even know if they are any good. I'm only going on heresay (brands include Daiya, Sheese, and Teese).

1. The only vegan cheese in my area is Follow Your Heart & Veganrella.

If you've ever had Veganrella, in comparison Follow Your Heart is fantastic! However, neither is really very good.

I asked my local HFS to get Teese, based on reviews in this forum, but now it seems that Daiya is now the favored vegan cheese. ???

I used to love grilled cheese sandwiches. Now I make grilled avacado sandwiches & it really hits the spot!

2. Vegan Essentials makes pizza with Daiya...

Oh god...I could eat that 3 meals a day and still have some for dessert.

3. I've never tried daikon.

Now I'm going to have to give it a shot. :hi:
