Either discontinued, difficult to obtain, or inedible for dietary or moral reasons.
I was grocery shopping earlier today and I realized how much I missed the Nesquik banana milk. I know it was disgusting for several reasons, but as a kid, it was like my favorite thing. If I could get some legit good banana flavoring, I'd totally add some to a batch of oat milk. But that's for another day.
:sicko-wistful:
There was this Korean lady who ran a hole in the wall teriyaki joint who had the best spicy chicken teriyaki and it sustained me through my early 20s. She'd fry up onion slivers with the meat and it was so good. Great char. Everywhere I go it's just teriyaki with spicy sauce on top. She cooked the chicken in the sauce with the onions. The onions were halfway caramelized and coated in chili sauce along with the meat. World class. Been almost 20 years and I still remember her food.
i miss bread in all its varied forms. realized i have a wheat allergy like 10 years ago and it's been shit ever since.
i've managed to adjust my own cooking so it's not so bad but i can't eat so many things, and eating out is always a gamble as to whether or not i'm going to spend the rest of the day vomiting
My partner's out on the couch right now because she accidentally ate something she didnt realize had wheat in it. It's hard to appreciate the sheer number of things that a wheat allergy cuts out until you're forced to make those changes.
One of the grocery stores near me started selling garbanzo bean flour in bulk recently and it's been a lifesaver. You cant do everything you can with wheat flour, but there's plenty that's good enough if that's an option for you
ugh, that's awful! i hope they feel better soon. :soviet-heart: and yeah, it honestly really sucks because even stuff that's allegedly "gluten free" is often not safely prepared in a separate space, so it's super easy to end up with like, normal fries or whatever that got fried in the same fryer as the breaded chicken or what have you. cross contamination isn't nearly as bad in my personal experience but it still hurts
i'm always impressed at the stuff people have managed to turn into flour though, i didn't even know garbanzo beans were an option. i'll definitely look into it! i'm partial to rice flour for a lot of my cooking now but it's always nice to have some variety.
i don't even have celiac either, which is the real bad shit! but even so much as a breadcrumb and i feel like someone's knifing me in the gut for the rest of the day :cri:
(and sometimes longer, depending on how bad the exposure was. just not a fun time.)
I reaaaally miss in n out. It's half the price of any of the vegan places near me and it tastes better too. I don't miss too much actual food but all the stuff around it. Having a cheap easy place to eat (in n out), the pleasure of cooking steak or scrambled eggs, being able to go anywhere without looking at the menu first. I enjoy food less, not because vegan food necessarily tastes worse but because everything around me is geared towards omnis.
In the state where I live, I'm lucky, but even then it's a chore to find food. If I'm going to be forced to commute to work, it would be nice to have a vegan drive thru.
I have a vegan drive through but its like 16$ for a burger, fries and a drink :cri:
Jesus Christ was crucified because he was able to multiply a single 16 dollar vegan meal into enough to feed his people.
:pepe-silvia:
I miss in-n-out too, only because every location is so busy I don't have the energy to wait in line to get it
Cheap greasy pizza, store bought or otherwise. If I want a vegan pizza it costs at least $10 for a bone dry 8 inch disk with a couple veggies on it.
I miss those fuck off giant slices for 2 bucks kind of pizzas. Gluten and dairy intolerant so my pizza options now are like crunch cardboard with playdoh cheese
I've yet to find a vegan mozzarella that could even compare. I just need the texture plz
Jolt Energy drink. The lids that made it look like a can of spray paint. Used to rip those while playing DDR for hours and hours and hours. Also, before Glaceau sold vitaminwater to Coca Cola, they made VitaminEnergy carbonated energy drinks. Came in flavors of Dragonfruit, "Energy" (yellow) and XXX. Those only existed for a really short amount of time.
In a similar vein, the original formula (2010) FourLoko.
My heart is so fucked lol
there was a shitty local pizza place when i was in high school and they did all u can eat on wednesday nights. would go with my friends and gorge myself on their deliciously disgusting pizza. i moved out of state and came back years later and it gone. i miss their greasy ass breadsticks every day of my miserable life and i will never have them again
McDonald's double cheeseburger. Really pisses me off how they do a vegan one now, but it's a £5 in a box ~lifestyle choice~, so just objectively worse than the funny little steamed guy wrapped in paper. Critical support to Greggs for the vegan sausage roll, only veggie fast food alternative that actually fuckin gets that I want cheap garbage when I go to the slop shop
Currently in the U.K. visiting family for the first time in nearly 4 years. I’m so ridiculously happy I can have vegan sausage rolls, I just wish they’d travel well in my suitcase :sadness:
One time when I was out of state, I went to a place called tom and chee and they had a sandwich called a westsider. It was a grilled cheese with pepperjack, bacon bits, Goetta, hot sause and a fried egg. There are none near me and that sandwich was so good. Like, I feel incomplete without it in my life. :cri:
My second answer would be pibb xtra. Stores only sometime have it and I have developed an addiction for it. Like people notice when they see me not drinking pibb. And writing this I think I might have an unhealthy relationship with food items and I'm not sure how to feel about it.
Going vegan's been great. I feel like I have a totally revived sense of taste. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss donuts. Vegan donuts just don't cut it.
Yes ugh, I miss donuts so much. Probably better for us in the long run, but that's not the point :angery:
I used to live near a boutique burger place that had these cheese fries. The cook would fry up french fries in oil in a big iron skillet, drain the oil off, toss the fries in kind of a powdery garlic seasoning, and add what must have been a pound of pepper jack cheese and heat the skillet again until it was just a huge pile of hot grease and melted cheese and soggy potatoes. Absolute artery-stopping pig slop, but easily the best french fries I've ever had in my life to this day.
They didn't have many customers and I knew the owner would bail eventually so I went a lot while I still could. I felt bad about only ever ordering french fries (too smol to order an entree too) so I made sure to tip the guys working the counter like over 100% to help out and show my appreciation for this ambrosia from heaven that they conjured for me. So they'd see me and pile on the cheese and, like, garlic mayo and salt aaahh so good. I got a couple of good years in before they finally closed. I like to think that my tips might have bought me a little more time living the french fry dream.
vegan pizza is def more miss than hit atm :deeper-sadness:
IME the less it imitates traditional pizza, the better chance it'll be good.
I actually had a pretty good one earlier this year, but of course that's when I was in another country so I can't exactly access that right now lol
Funyuns. I've been vegan for so long and these fucks still have milk powder in them
I miss the Taco Bell shredded chicken. In a burrito or a quesadilla, it was the best goddamn thing on the menu, and they killed it. I'll still get the slop every once in a while, but it's not the same.
