River, you can find linketts in any Health Food Store or market near an adventist college/university. Just look for the "Faux Ho Dog" section! :-) Or, if you're
really determined you can make your own gluten out of flour and shape it as creatively as you want.(They taught us this in school).

My favorite "Aha" moment came when I was maybe 13 and realized there were such things as real scallops and they were seafood! Didn't we all grow up thinking the word was spelled "skallops"? Boy, they were good--fried in lots of oil after being dipped in egg and cracker crumbs and served with tartar sauce--but I doubt if they were very healthy.

We used to have a "cook" at San Gabriel Academy who took vege-bits of some kind, dumped them out of the can in their watery liquid and heated and served them...Nasty!!

Sylvia and I had yummy "Staklets" in sandwiches today. However, she leaves the kitchen when I start eating a real tuna sandwich (smile). My doctor thinks I am ok with eating one or two servings of tuna weekly in spite of the mercury content. While Sylvia enjoys smoked ham in bean soup, I am too chicken to try it so far when we dine out. I am most grateful that we no longer have to worry about the type of food we eat nor judge each other about it. This is part of the freedom we have in Christ.

Skallops, love then dipped in eggs then in Italian bread crumbs. Then deep fried. Can eat 20 of them. Big Franks and skallops are about the only ones of the fake meats that I like. Oh, I like the non-SDA Grillers (fake hamburger patties. One more, the chilli is also good. Oh, I forgot, the Tender Bits with the same treatment as the skallops.

Remmeber, Columbo?

Nowisee, if you didn't find out about fish till you were thirteen, I hate to ask how old you were when you found out about boys. :-)

Well...you did sort of fall into that one. :-)
We don't want to get all serious here and ruin the moment now do we?

Leigh Anne might get to think we are hopeless.

The food threads are good therapy too.

Jeremy is perfectly right, we need to lighten things up a little once in a while.

Thank God for friends sitting around a virtual table just talking to each other, whether it food, fish or fowl.

A proverb for you: Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Proverbs 15:15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Good night.


I mean GOOD NIGHT! Ho Dogs?

One of my clients prefers "choplets" fried in lard (smile).

Ok... I have to re-tell my story since there are lots of newbies on here. I'm from Brazil originally. I was born there and my family immigrated here when I was a baby. My dad was the chief accountant at Loma Linda Foods at La Sierra. His "number" ability was great... his "English" was not so great. He came home from work one day and told me that at his board meeting they were discussing a letter and there was a word that he didn't understand. I asked him to spell it out for me. He said, "it's S-H-I-T". I was a bit shocked to hear that they were discussing something and it somehow was about this word. I asked him to tell me what sentence it was used in. He said, "... your food tastes like _______." Well, dad... they didn't like your food and I would suggest that you don't use that word at work! haha!

... miss my dad.

Yep--I loved Skallops deep fried with tartar sauce--and Nowisee, I was also shocked when I discovered there was a REAL seafood spelled SCALLOPS! Ha! Who knew? I've had them in the not-too-distant past...they're actually quite tasty.

We had a cook in academy who made awesome "tuno" patties...served with tartar sauce, of course...

We were all about pretending, weren't we? We pretended we ate normal food; we pretended we were good (or not, as the case may be...); we pretended we had the perfect church, the prefect families...and under the surface, we were filled with anxiety, insecurity, fear, and despair.

Lovely reality, no?

Praise God for Jesus!

And don't forget the Shamburgers! I don't mind Vegeburger at all--can't even tell the difference in spaghetti sauce or meatloaf. (I admit I don't have the keenest sense of taste anymore, but I never did object to most of the vegetarian meat, with the possible exception of Tun-O, which wasn't very good, and I do love real tuna!) Most raw red meat doesn't look good to me, because I always start thinking about the "poor animals." And I don't know how to get over that, because I've been a real animal lover since before I could walk or talk!

I hadn't heard the word Lard used in many years, until I came to the forum.

I guess it exceeds 40, maybe even 50 years since we used pure Lard in our cooking, I didn't know they still sold the stuff. Are you all kidding, or do they still sell it?

Yen, the reason you ain't got no taste buds left is because of all the crap you et.

A good leg of possum will restore you to normal, just run over him a time or two with yer four by four, then on the last run skid yer oversized tires, which will result in a nice tender chunk of meat.

You surely ain't got no qualms over killing a big rat do you?
River

P.S. Of course it depends on how long you et Adventist food, your taste buds could be permanently gone, and you might be a hopeless case. It only works if you were a bad Adventist.

Yes, River, they still sell lard. They use it in crackers and other bake products. SDAs have to be checking the ingredients when they buy those products. Buy the way, have anyone tasted pork rinds? The real thing is pretty good. Of course, you have the little bags like chips. Those are not as good.

Colleen, the funny thing is that you cannot drink a glass of wine, but you can eat a pound of ice cream and cake which will make more alcohol than the glass of wine contains. Go figure!

I'm still not over the choplets fried in lard. Wouldn't that be a good metaphor for SDAs?

River,

Yep, they still sell lard in stores. It's very popular around here, as it's the traditional (and best!) way of making Navajo and Apache fry bread. (I'm on the border of the Apache reservation.)

I am LOL reading this thread!
Vivian - hilarious & true
Hec - I've read that Lard is the 2nd highest (by a LOT) source of vitamin D - after cod liver oil.
I think it's been taken out of a lot of crackers & things because of the 'fat is bad' mantra.

The (not SDA) health food store in our town quit carrying Loma Linda, Worthington, & Cedar Lake etc foods over 20 years ago because of the unhealthy ingredients like MSG for starters. And let's talk about PROCESSED foods - hmmmm.

And speaking of ice cream - my relatives are ice cream addicts - yes addicts. I think they are functional 'dry drunks' who maybe aren't dry due to the ice cream!

Colleen, that is so true 'pretending'. They pretend they eat meat, my fil calls those unhealthy cottage cheese special k casseroles meat. In fact a majority of these casseroles are much more unhealthy for the body than actual meat! They are full of eggs and cottage cheese, why not just settle for a nice piece of broiled fish or chicken instead. At my in-laws church over half the members are obese or unhealthily over-weight. Who wants to hear a health message from somebody who is twice your size? And what Jeremy was saying about how this 'mock meat' is actually processed, makes me never want to put it into my mouth again, Nasty! And doesn't chocolate have caffeine in it, how do they get around that? I know many adventists who consume soda and coffee, but how do those staunch 'no caffeine' Adventist justify this?

Thats really being hypocritical to the animal what was kilt, pretending to eat a beef burger, you could at least give the cow the honor of eating it.

If I was a cow, I wouldn't give milk for a month after reading about this insult to animility.

It is just cruel and inanimal to all animals both foreign and domestic.
