toothless cravings of the flesh [ ... more Provomel and related desserts ]

[Guest guest]

I am sorry this is such a cheesey thing to say,

 

but yes,

 

Happy Valentine's day folks.

 

wishing you all the warm love you want.

 

.... but not cut flowers.

 

I am not into cut flowers. whereas I might squash the odd slug, I feel

mortified if I accidentally break a flower and feel duty bound to eat it in

order to assimilate its life force experience into mine and validate its

existence in someway worthwhile!

 

beauty has to be most sacred [ naomi campbell being the exception to that

rule ].

 

sorry, did someone mention California. I went all New Agey there. [ but

still eat flowers in the East End ]

 

 

Provomel [ spelt right ] is one of the leading European manufacturers of

soya milk. although they cant call it milk any more thanks to the udder

competition. they also make single soya cream, which is delicious, and a

series of desserts which are a little better than gunk, as said. custard I

better description - but then we probably are not allowed to call it custard

either. vanilla, carob, they used to do chocolate too.

 

to be honest, they are pretty good on the old no sugar line, there is always

a sugar frfee choice, and the desserts are great cold on hot. my favourite

is either sprinkled heavily with fresh cinnamon power. sprinkled just where

is another secret.

 

the only fault they have is that the so called serving for 4 all too often

seems to evaporate and disappear in my kitchen. and I live all by myself.

 

bad teeth :

 

did anyone else hear or read of a recent dental survey that targeted vegan

and especially fruitarians [ if there actually is really such a beast ] of

having bad teeth from having digested too much fruit sugars. I think it went

under the titles of " an apple a day does not keep the dentist away " or

something.

 

this is one criticism that I think may well be valid. obvious most

scientific studies attacking v*gan lifestyles are bollox. I know my own

dentist warned me that my enamel was becomind thin and I have not physically

bought sugar for at least ten years.

 

the research focused on the fairly artificial new breeds of apples, and

other fruit, that iare now 50 % sweeter that apples used to be. bred

especially for supermarkets and so on.

 

it is another bitter worm in the barrel typical of our modern world

 

I don¹t know about where you lie, but round here we are given the choice of

two " apples " . a yellow one or a red one. keep it simple for the consumers,

don¹t spoil them for choice, make sure all the apples are the same size and

shape so no one complains, and heaven's above don¹t let one in with a

blemish ...

 

why don¹t they just feed up plastic bags?

 

wet toothless kisses all round,
