When you look at the ingredients and consider they are ultra-processed then you could be right. All ultra-processed food is bad for us in the long term regardless of whether it is based on processed meat or processed pea protein or soya. I doubt there has been much research into why consumers are now rejecting these products (my local Tesco has just halved the shelf space) but I'm willing to wager people were getting an upset stomach.
I was told to drop processed food because of the amount of kidney stones I was getting and I do feel better with my new more varied diet.
Yes, I think it is possible. And as @Paul_Exeter says, they are ultra-processed - your digestive system never evolved to deal with it. Some people can get away with it sure, maybe you aren't one of them. I hope staying off it helps.
I believe Quorn acts as a trigger for gout attacks for me.
Personally I feel it is pretty scandalous that the big supermarkets promoted this stuff to the max, telling people it was a great idea to swap unprocessed fish and chicken for fake ultra-processed alternatives (sausages and bacon are another matter, unless you can get the ones without nitrates).
anyway, Tesco make all these big statements about green issues but today there are signs everywhere promoting beef along with Aldi price matches.
It's annoying because I really don't eat rubbish food as a rule, but lots of salads, fish and (some) vegetables.
What about soft cheese? The body can at least digest that.
What's that meat loaf made with nuts called? That's OK.nuts? roasted or as is - lovely in a salad
It might be that simple.My autistic-friend-with-food-as-a-specialism does some dribbling wonderful nut/meat loafs. I asked for the recipie to be told that you take the beef mince and butter beans and make a loaf out of them.
I do like nuts Frides and I don't think they are a problem for me, but here's anothing thing- I'm now wondering if the husks etc in granary/grain loafs are causing my problems.nuts? roasted or as is - lovely in a salad
No dribble for me if that's ok.My autistic-friend-with-food-as-a-specialism does some dribbling wonderful nut/meat loafs. I asked for the recipie to be told that you take the beef mince and butter beans and make a loaf out of them.
I had a customer once who was the other way round: she said she could eat the skin but not the seeds. We thought she was just being fanciful at the time but maybe she was telling the truth?. Although she did also tell us she was extremely allergic to garlic and then proceeded to order the garlic sauce for herself so she was probably full of shit.
Some of the guys on here have mentioned tomato seeds. @Tempest63 for one, I think. ?
Tomatoes are part of the nightshade family which are reputedly not very good for people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
This happened when I briefly worked for Subway. The company's super strict about 'sandwich artists' sticking to the prep, you're not even allowed to advise customers on allergies. A Subway member of staff in New York accidently killed a customer a while back by giving the wrong advice or the customer ordered something dangerous for them, one of the two. The point is, Subway staff aren't allowed to answer allergy questions, they now instead have to hand an A5 sheet to a customer and tell the customer that everything they need to know is on that sheet without getting into any conversation with the customer about ingredients.
. The security cameras in there recorded sound as well so I was covering my arse.
One of my favourite rainy day meals was a slow-cooked bolognese (I used beef and pancetta). A River Cottage recipe for which you roast halved tomatoes in the oven to make your tomato sauce and the whole lot gets simmered for 1.5/2 hours. But i found I was getting an upset stomach for several days afterwards and worked out it was the tomatoes and garlic. I so miss that recipe and the veggie pasta sauce variations I used to make (love a classic provencal sauce). I'm hoping that after a few years of avoiding tomatoes I might start to reintroduce them, I don't think it helped that after a bottle (or more) of red wine I would help myself to huge portions of the bolognese...
Sounds very good.
Oooh, what's it called? We'll drop by next time we're in the area and case it.
It's called Reubens;Oooh, what's it called? We'll drop by next time we're in the area and case it.
Heaven knows how much animal product she's unknowingly eaten there (and other places) over the years.Oooh, what's it called? We'll drop by next time we're in the area and case it.
