I could live off of wasabi peas, yessiree. Scrapple, though? No, I will say never on this one. Same for the caviar and haggis (I’ve never had the non-vegan version of these and I don’t care to, ever). I love borscht and it is one of the highlights of visiting my family (I make sure my grandmother substitutes vegetable stock for meat stock). Homemade kimchi is the best (also courtesy of my grandmother), but I once bought some locally made (Minnesota) kimchi and that was pretty darn good too. Being Korean, this is a staple for me (along with white rice, terrible! I know).

But of all, there is nothing quite like some homemade mandu (Korean dumplings). I make them fairly regularly and they are the best thing for snacks (lots of tofu and veggies make it healthy too! pan-frying, not so much).

Hey, I put the Vegan 100 on my site, Skimbleshanks, The Railway Cat, at frederickfuller.com. Find it under Food, category Infringo in Victus. I enjoyed doing it. Thanks

Hi Lizz,
Hmm… I haven’t seen them at my WF. I’ll have to check next time I visit.

You can get Fresh Garbanzos at Whole Foods. Or at least…the one here sells them.

Hi Sue,
Yes, some of that stuff is weird… Vegan Haggis?
But thanks for the info on the vegan rootbeer floats. I’m sure they’re in our immediate future!

Hi Amy,
We had that reaction to a few of the items. But hey, I’ve had vegan “pepperoni” – so all things are possible.

Hi Maija
Congrats! Jane suggested that instead of the borscht, we ease in with your beetroot hummus. We were all set to go, only to find NO beets at the farmers market today. Oy!
And thanks for the clarification on some of the items. Yes, I think there should be a few other things on the list, and I think dinner at any particular restaurant is unfair to include. But it’s certainly a fun exercise, and might get us to try some new things.

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the info on the scrapple episode. How fun. We’ve never watched the show because we figured it had nothing for us… but perhaps we’ll tune in once in awhile.
As for getting out more, you could always stay in with a new cookbook too

Amy – have you ever watched Ace of Cakes on the Food Network? They did a scrapple contest on one episode – the vegan baker cooked his own version and put it against the regular one. Apparently it wasn’t bad, but of course the standard version won out.
Wow, I though I didn’t think I had consumed even 10 of these until I started counting – 40! Granted, I’m only veg so some of the ones I’ve consumed had egg or cheese, but I still think it’s pretty good. I just tried baklava for the first time, ironically, today, and I just had curry for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Yes, I know, I need to get out more…

As it happens, the English version of my vegetarian/vegan recipe site that went online today has a recipe for vegan bortsch – one of my favorite foods. Beets are great! Don’t fear them.

Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World has Vegan “Dulce sin leche”. Pretty good, uses brown rice syrup for the caramel flavour. Brown rice syrup and barley malt extract are great for creating caramel flavours. I add the latter to almost all sweet baked goods I make.

I’ve eaten vegan caviar, too. It’s very much like the real thing.

Stroopwaffle is a Dutch syrupy cookie-like thing, sickeningly sweet. Didn’t know there was a vegan version.

I only scored 43, even though I tend to eat loads of crazy foods most of my friends have never even heard of. Though you can’t get many of those things vegan here (or things like Tofurkey – I’ve eaten Bryanna Clark Grogan’s tofu seitan turkey though), and I don’t drink alcohol or coffee. Vegan sushi, natto, mangosteen and mochi are on my to-try list.

I think everyone should listen Susan of Fat-Free Vegan Kitchen and try out gochujang. It’s great. I think wild vegetables should also be on the list and perhaps tempeh (I don’t like it all that much, but everyone should try it).

Vegan scrapple? Really? It’s normally made with pork…
