Guest guest Posted June 16, 2000 Report Share Posted June 16, 2000 That's not a stupid question at all! The bad news is that most gravies (especially any you'd find at a restaurant) are not vegetarian. Gravy is usually made from " drippings " / " fat " and sometimes animal broths. The good news is that you can make your own vegetarian gravy or purchase the packaged mixes (I like Loma Linda and Hain). Karen Hello, I have a really stupid question, but it's been bugging me for a while, since no one seems to know exactly. Once I bought a poutine at New York Fries, and I started to wonder about the gravy. Is it just artificial flavour or is there actually beef in it? Is artifical flavour considered vegetarian? I hope someone can settle this for me. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 hey renee and welcome there are no stoopid questions... yeast is a unicellular member of the fungi family.. therefore..not animal.... cheers fraggle Okay, I'm new at this and just wondering about yeast. Is this plant or animal based? My guess would be animal, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 in the past, there was some confusion on where to put yeast in the phylum fer awhile it was in the plant kingdom, then it had its own little category..finally they have stuck it under fungi, which is in the plant kingdom... yeast shares a few characteristics with animal cells, hence there has been some tuggin and pulling over the last hundred years but... its a fungi... not an animal.... Most vegans eat yeast, although there are some who don't. Personally, I don't see how it could be considered animal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 technically no, they're not their under the fungi kingdom (the other 4 are Monera *bacteria*; Protista *parameceum, some algae, etc*; Plant; and Animal...) but, they are closer to plant then anything else.. Nor plant, either. Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Joanne Stepaniak, major authority on all things vegan, says it's a plant. I totally trust her voice of reason in the sometimes chaotic world of veganism."Renee W." <reneew123 wrote: Okay, I'm new at this and just wondering about yeast. Is this plantor animal based?

But sometimes I do anyway. It doesn't seem to hurt them. But then I love both and they don't sit around for very long in my house. Also, I often chop more onions than I need and freeze the remainder. I bet that would work well for 'taters also. Sometimes, I'll think I'm out of onions only to be relieved to find some ready to go in the freezer.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'd argue that they don't need to be refrigerated unless you cut into them. If you do put them in the fridge, then put them in a plastic bag. But I think a pantry should be fine. Just make sure wherever you store them is someplace very dry. Sometimes potatoes will start to sprout even in a dry area, but you can just cut the sprouts off. Dave Earn money completing surveys and product trials.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 thanks to all who responded I always kept them in the fridge but heard it alters the starch, and my space is limited since I started cooking again On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 12:09 PM, Dave DeVetter <dave4sale wrote: > I'd argue that they don't need to be refrigerated unless you cut into > them.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Potatoes and onions should be stored in a dark cool place. But not refrigerated because that changes them and damages their flavor. I keep them in paper bags in the pantry because they need to breathe to prevent mold and deter spoilage.
