What have you been eating today?

She also gets her protein from nuts, tofu, lentils and pulses. Oh, and she's perfectly healthy

Marco.

I'm sure she is, and long may that continue. I suppose my question is: do the above mentioned foods provide 'complete' protein (traditionally coming from animal sources)? I suspect they don't. Or are my thoughts on this outdated? And I'm directing the question to Del, I think as a non-vegetarian you're probably as clueless as me, no offence like As long as Del isn't having the same meals as you, but with the meat/fish removed, because that wouldn't be good enough.

No idea what that is...

I suspect they don't.

Based on what evidence - are you a nutritionist?

No, it wouldn't, but that's not the case. She also eats all the other things I've mentioned above. She's not deficient in protein.

Why the concern, anyway?

Looks good... Btw, who's Brian?

Marco.

Funny, I walked away from that post wondering if I had fucked up.

Apologies, Barry.

No concern, just curiosity. Anyway, I no longer require an answer to my question, all the answers are there online.

I'm no nutritionist, though through the 70s and 80s I had some interest in sports nutrition. Then nutrition formed part of a sports therapy course I did, but that was a quarter of a century ago. I just wondered how much has changed since then - not much by the looks of it. Apart from perhaps the science around plant-based foods.

If my comments/questions are going to be met with suspicion I should perhaps stop. Because I'm not about to reply to all the posts/pics on here with ohyesthatlooksdelicioushowonearthdoyoufindthetime There's only so many times you can say that with sincerity.

Porridge for breakfast. That's all, just porridge. Same as every morning. Not terribly exciting, but heart-healthy. And if it helps to keep me from, y'know, dying, it's probably worth it

The issue was that you seemed to be implying that my wife had a protein deficiency, without any evidence to back that up. I can assure you that's not the case and that she manages her (varied) diet very well.

Now that's been said, we can move on

Mango, Pineapple & Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce (with Coconut Cream)

Hot sauces are very easy to make. And extremely good.

That apple cider vinegar tastes excellent.

I can post the recipe if anyone wants it.

[Marco]

Me loikes hot sauces, and the ingredients in that one are right up my street

Just a simple lunch... Some pâté and toast:

If that's chicken liver that's also very easy to make. Love the stuff.

Just tasted that hot sauce now it's luke warm and it's incredible. 7 days in the fridge and it will be even better.
