Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 Hi - me again! I joined the group a few days ago, so a quick word about me. Me and my chap are not strictly veggie, but don't like meat that much and almost invariably cook veggie at home. We're Brits, but are living in the tourist resort of Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt, and the choice of veggie products here is almost non-existent and there's not a lot of choice when eating out apart from falafels and dips (and pizza of course!). There's a pretty good range of basics though including fresh vegetables, but never fresh broccoli and I do miss butternut squash :-(, and there's pulses, spices and tinned stuff , so I'm looking for new ideas that don't use anything too fancy or branded products. I have a few recipes that I'll post when I get them typed in, but as I found when writing up the chilli one, it's not easy to step through what you do! I'm a 'throw in a bit of this and a bit of that' type when in the kitchen!! Look forward to hearing from you... Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 It is fascinating to hear about the foods that are culturally eaten in different pasts of the world. Pizza in Egypt?? Wow!!! I know this is a list for quick cooking, but wondered if any of you make your own meat substitutes from Vital Gluten Flour. I make it fairly often and it freezes well so I make a big batch when I make it. I would be glad to submit a recipe for that if anyone is interested. Have a lovely day.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 Where can't you get pizza these days?!! We have Hard Rock, KFC and Pizza Hut here. It's actually hard to get authentic Egyptian cuisine! Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
