People making changes to recipes and then complaining it didn’t turn out.
Someone should tell her that bananas are a GMO. So is rice, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale, and mustard. They all exist because humans modified them, if humans didn't exist then neither would those plants.
Ironically the one thing that isn't a GMO is the damn egg.
The usual vegan recipe complaint: "I wanted to follow your recipe for grandma's meatloaf, but substituted anything offending with the first thing I found on google. Your meatloaf neither looks nor tastes like my Grandma's!"
"NON-GMO"
Proceeds to use banana...
I agree that most anti-GMO stances are silly, but Cavendish bananas aren't GMO. (The history of major banana cultivars is super interesting, though!)
but Cavendish bananas aren’t GMO
They are. We took something barely edible in nature and bred it to the point where it's a tasty treat. It's a perfect example of GMO.
Almost all food crops are GMO through the practice of selective breeding. Bananas have been altered to be sterile, seedless, and have larger edible fruit.
Weirdly enough a mashed banana can be an egg substitute for the right recipe.
My Wife has celiac, so no gluten for her. So when looking for gluten free recipes, we often come across full on vegan recipes with substitutes. A mashed banana for eggs is one of them.
I feel like you should at least have the ingredients that are in the name of the dish.
The good thing is that bananas have no bones.
I only ever buy boneless bananas. It’s a good thing, too, as I’ve never been able to find bone-in bananas before at the grocery store.
I tried a recipe for a cake but I substituted the dry ingredients for buns because they're already baked, I replaced the chocolate with burger, and I replaced the frosting with sauce. Can anyone explain to me why my cake tastes like a hamburger now?
It's because of the oven, can't you read ?
Banana or applesauce can be an OK replacement for eggs. The latter works great as a binder in meatballs. The former ruins the meatballs, unless "banana meatballs" sounds delicious to you.
Thing is a ripe mashed banana can be used as an egg substitute for recipes. Not that one clearly.
Depends what the egg is being used for. As a binder? Absolutely! Works great in cakes. But you certainly are not making custard with it.
Ok, but ... sometimes one just has to acknowledge that a banana isn't an egg, you know?
This has to be bait, "no gmo gluten free vegans"?!
C'moooooon
My ex's Mom is a vegetarian (who also doesn't believe in using GMOs or a microwave) and her Dad has celiac and legitimately can't do gluten.
I hate trying to cook for them, and I REALLY hate it when they cook for me. Her Dad made these "dessert" balls that are made from flax seed and sadness the first time we met and I pretended to like them to be polite. Now he always makes me a bunch of them and I have to choke them down with a smile. I'll bee seeing them Friday and know I get to look forward to chomping on birdseed.
I just recently found out that (in some cakes) bananes actually can eb eggs. Pretty cool!
