I like that actually. A lot of vegan recipes have stuff I’m allergic to for protein (I can’t eat any legumes), but I could try a vegan recipe and just add meat and make a few replacements since I won’t be needing the lentils or beans or whatever for protein. You’ve given me a good idea.

I can’t eat any legumes

Oof! That would be hard.

It just means I’m mostly limited to stereotypical white suburban Sunday meals if that makes sense. We do a lot of chicken/beef, potato of some kind, and simple vegetable like carrots or broccoli, as most of our dinners. It’s a good thing I like those meals.

Yeah, I would like those too (except the meat maybe. I just can't seem to like the taste of any I ever tried).
Dehydrated seeds and beans tend to be too good a fit for me though and it would make it pretty hard for me to keep a healthy diet without them.

  • They are easy to process. Don't require carefully cutting stuff up or peeling (which can be harder) and all I need to do is keep them in water for a while and then pressure cook them.
  • If I want to add vegetables, I can just add them when making the curry.
  • The same tomato-onion-ginger-garlic combination works for the sauce for all types of them and adding some Cinnamon at the right time fixes any gastrointestinal issues I tend to have.
