Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Here are my answers: > How would you explain what a vegan is to someone who didn't know? " An individual who embraces all living beings within a circle of compassion. This includes avoiding the use of animals and animal by products in every way, as well as striving to do the most good when purchasing consumer items. " > You went to a friends house, who spent a long time making a " vegan " meal just for you. Before you eat, you see one of the ingredients she used is a product that has " whey " in it. What do you do? I'd probably explain exactly what " whey " is, explain why it's not vegan, and then offer to buy us all dinner and/or whip up some pasta fast. Presumably at least part of the meal (salad, side dishes) are vegan. > You notice a mosquito in your room just before you go to bed. It's making an annoying noise and might bite you in the night. You have a good shot at it. What do you do? I'd say, " Get it, Ace, " to my dog, and let nature take its course. > You have 10 mice in your house, peeing on your stuff, eating stuff in your cupboards. Causing a riot. What do you do? Seek an animal friendly solution, such as live traps. I'd also restore my food stuff in better containers to discourage them. > You go to a dinner with friends, and the main course and salad are " vegan " except for a teaspoon of honey in each. What do you do? Eat whatever side dishes are available that don't contain honey. > You are making a vegan dinner for 8 non vegan friends at your house. What do you make? Delicious vegan food, making sure to include a variety: Old standbys, like pasta and marinara, as well as something more exotic. > Your mother in law or other relative asks you if you can do a big favor and store a turkey in your fridge as hers is full of other thanksgiving trimmings. What do you do? Politely refuse but offer my parent's fridge as an alternative. > Someone gives you a chocolate bar that has no dairy or egg, and is from a good company. It is processed on a plant that processes milk and may contain trace elements. Do you eat it? No. I don't like chocolate anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 How would you explain what a vegan is to someone who didn't know? >a conscious way of living in accordance with, and not against, nature, based on compassion and sustainable development You went to a friends house, who spent a long time making a "vegan" meal just for you. Before you eat, you see one of the ingredients she used is a product that has "whey" in it. What do you do? >I'd eat it but point out the problem. I'd eat it because of the trouble they'd gone to and their good intentions. You notice a mosquito in your room just before you go to bed.

I ate meat for 20 years so i'm not squeamish abot it or anything. Plus I can't stop her eating meat so I don't see the point in not giving her a hand.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 How would you explain what a vegan is to someone who didn't know? strict vegetarian...the simplest approach is probably best! You went to a friends house, who spent a long time making a "vegan" meal just for you. Before you eat, you see one of the ingredients she used is a product that has "whey" in it. What do you do? Grasp at throat and scream "Are you trying to kill me!" just kidding... seriously...i'd have to apologize and tell i appreciate it all, really, but i can't eat it. and then explain why..then offer to make them something in return when they wanted... You notice a mosquito in your room just before you go to bed. It's making an annoying noise and might bite you in the night. You have a good shot at it. What do you do? make bat noises? heh open a window to shoo it away.... luckily, no skeeters here to speak of You have 10 mice in your house, peeing on your stuff, eating stuff in your cupboards. Causing a riot. What do you do? 1. cover and put food items in containers 2. hav-a-hart traps... then move em down to an abandoned field down the street You go to a dinner with friends, and the main course and salad are "vegan" except for a teaspoon of honey in each. What do you do? depends.... wot sort of restaurant? or where is the place? wot sort of honey? normal everyday bee killin honey, er organic "i just stole the honey and didn't kill the bees" honey? the salad has honey in it?? heck..just give salad greens and i'll figure something out there is akmost ALWAYS an out..someway...somehow...unless they took you to McDonalds er something... You are making a vegan dinner for 8 non vegan friends at your house. What do you make? depends on their tastes, etc mashed taters, now and zen unturkey, maybe vegan lasagna, all sorts of dishes.. we cook a vegan thanxfernuthin every year anyways..TWICE!..heh Your mother in law or other relative asks you if you can do a big favor and store a turkey in your fridge as hers is full of other thanksgiving trimmings. What do you do? ummm nope sorry no dead things in my fridge..sorry i've lived with that long enough... nope nope nope they can respect my beliefs... i wouldn't ask to store dead baby parts in their fridge.... Someone gives you a chocolate bar that has no dairy or egg, and is from a good company. It is processed on a plant that processes milk and may contain trace elements. Do you eat it? yeah..unfortunately, 99% of chocolate bars in the US are generally processed on equipment that has used dairy.... same with many soy milks.... it sux.. tho..i stopped drinkin white wave products a loong time ago...i would have some of their stuff, and always feel ill afterwards...turns out they got bought out by Dean Foods, big ol dairy/meat company, and processed the stuff on their equipment...at least the soy milks and fake egg nogs... so..dunno if that had anything to do with it..but... *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Is there such a thing as gluten free pickle relish that does not have peppers in it? Can you make relish by mashing regular pickles? What brand of mustard is gluten free? What is paprika made of? Since it is red, I am thinking peppers and/or tomatoes? Thanks, Danielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 These are good question. I can help with a couple. #2) I don't see why not. You might want to add some other goodies in there too, but it should work. #4) Paprika is a ground pepper. My local farmers market actually sells the fresh pepper. It's long and green->red, depending on ripeness.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 the company I work for (www.allergygrocer.com) sells a dijon and a yellow mustard which are ceritifed gluten-free but technically all products made with vinegar are considered gluten-free. Some are more likely to be made with corn based vinegar than others, but in n. america corn is far cheaper than wheat so it's the most likely to be used for producing vinegars and commerical relishes, mustards, ketchips, etc. BL On 9/14/07, Erin <truepatriot wrote: > > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paprika>> Can you make relish by mashing > regular pickles? > > > What brand of mustard is gluten free? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
