Yves Vegan Deli Salami and Mancini Fried Peppers
I know that vegan food porn is usually made up of dishes that people actually, well, COOK. You know, they MADE them. Often the dishes required actual mixing of more than one ingredient followed by piping stuff through pastry bags. At a minimum it usually involves the oven or a pot. My food porn, on the other hand, is for the lazy vegan who just wants a damn sandwich and wants it now.
This drool-inducing meal is now a staple for me; I love it. It meets ALL my requirements: fast, great-tasting, and fast. The Yves Deli “Salami” is delicious. I can’t remember what real salami tastes like, so I couldn’t tell you if this approximates it or not. Nevertheless, it is very tasty with nice strong spice and good texture. I top this wonderful faux meat with exactly 30g of Mancini’s Fried Peppers, which are worth every one of their canola oil-soaked 25 calories. They are sweet-ish/hot-ish peppers that have been fried. What more need I say? They add a note of true decadence to a regular old sandwich and elevate the meal from a simple lunch to an orgasmic gourmet experience. I might be exaggerating a little, but not by much.
Lovin’ those food p*rn photos! I tried looking for those pepperonis from one of your previous posts~~its so helpful to see what the package looks like. Didn’t find ‘em yet, but thanks to you, I know what they look like.
Kudos to you on your Most Excellent Weight Lose Adventure!
I totally love vegetarian “meat.” It’s been a few years, but Beloved took me to a vegetarian restaurant in Box Hill. I was confused when I looked at the menu and saw “lamb curry”, “beef stir fry” etc. The TVP they use has a very “meaty” texture and even looks like meat. Feels great in the mouth. It’s the food of the future. Love it.
The Yves bologna makes me feel 6 - I love it!
