‘Toe Food’ Recipes?

“Okay. Here’s the problem: A high school friend of mine is going to stay over at our house this weekend. He is bringing his wife who is from some country that starts with a “V” that I have never heard of and who’s name escapes me at the moment. Anyhoo – she apparently has some strict dietary requirements and will only eat ‘toe food’ whatever the hell that is. I’ve done an internet search and only come up with toe food chocolates but I doubt that is what he was talking about (sounds like a good diet though).

Does anyone know what toe food is and how to prepare it? Where can you buy it (or hunt it, dig it up, etc.)?”

“would that perhaps be TOFU???”

“you freakin' weirdo!! :-D i bet she's from the country "vegetaria"...i think it's somewhere in Asia.”

“No, it's probably Violinland...”

“Violinland? the horror, the horror...

ANYway, i have tons of tofu recipes, freakazoid.
:-)”

“Use the little toes. they're more tender than the big ones...”

“Chunky Cat Barf

1 lg Spaghetti Squash
8 oz Cottage Cheese
16 oz Mozzarella (grated)
8 oz Parmesan (grated)
1 qt Spaghetti sauce (w/peppers)

Cook squash. Fork out insides into a giant cassarole dish.
Add cottage cheese, half of the mozzerella and parmesan, sauce.
Mix it until it looks like chunky cat barf.
Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.”

“just in case you or anyone else really wants to know...you get tofu in the aisle with the milk, OJ, yogurt...that kind of stuff. just look for the package that doesn't say "toe food." if you're going to stir-fry it (easy), then get the firm variety. cook slices of it in olive oil, along with veggies, and serve over rice. or, you could make lasagna/manicotti and stuff it with tofu and veggies instead of ricotta and whatnot...then you should get the softer variety.”

“Vanuatu could be the country.
Sounds like a nice place.”

“Do they sell Quorn here??? that's far better than Tofu!”

“never heard of Quorn! better than tofu...the mind reels.”

“Hell, they're cannibals out in them islands!

Try again”

“Quorn™ products are healthy, delicious and meat free. The unique ingredient in all Quorn™ foods is mycoprotein which is a nutritious member of the fungi family, as are mushrooms, truffles and morels, and provides the taste and texture of a full range of meat products and ready meals but is entirely meat free.

Whether you are a meat eater or a vegetarian, if you are looking to eat more healthily, you are bound to find something to suit the whole family, that won't compromise on taste.”

“It's okay I guess. I mean I wouldn't go home from work thinking 'mmmmm Quorn burgers for dinner tonight', but if it was the last thing in the freezer and I was hungry then I'd eat it quite happily. It's head and shoulders better than tofu”

“well i'll be damned! i wonder why i've never heard of it. i see it does have egg whites though, so if this mystery woman is from the country Vegan, then that ain't kosher. i still don't believe anything could be better than tofu.”

“Violin, let her do the cooking.”

“Sure it's not "toad food?" j/k!!”

“I think the FDA may not have cleared it here yet.”

“or it only got it recently


FDA gives Quorn’s meat substitutes the nod


U.S. (January 10, 2002) - Quorn Foods has received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its fermented-mushroom-based meat substitutes, giving the company the green light to launch an eight-item line of frozen and refrigerated meat substitutes backed by US$ 7-10 million in marketing support.

The company bills itself as "the first new food since the potato".

The eight-item line of entrees will be backed by a quirky, irreverent TV, print and promotional campaign from Decker, Glastonbury, Conn., later this year, said David Wilson, vice president of marketing for Quorn.

Quorn, which has become a $ 150 million business in Europe since it was launched there in 1998, is based on a patented protein that creates a more realistic chicken substitute than soy-based products that dominate the meat-substitute category, Wilson said.”

“oohhh goody, "a quirky, irreverent TV, print and promotional campaign"? i can't WAIT! i don't know if i trust something that compares itself to the world's perfect food, the potato, anyway.
;-)”

“Oh Great... another meat substitute thread.”

“Right?

Thanks for ruining my thread you guys.

So no one here knows anything about toe food?”

“Just make sure whatever you fix can be eaten with your toes, and you'll be fine...”

“i saw some TV news show about a girl born with no arms...she ate with her feet, brushed her hair with her feet, even put her contacts in with her feet! pretty amazing.”

“You'd be surprised how dextrous your toes become if you just exercise them.


Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that...”

“Maybe it's "Toe Jam?"

Seriously, the only way I've used/eaten Tofu is in a stir fry. I think it's fine--wifey hates it.”

“lyra - That's nothing. You should read about Celestine Tate - the lady with no arms or legs who accomplished more in life than many people with far more advantages. When they tried to take her baby away, she demonstrated in court how she could change the babies diaper with her teeth. If you ever want to #&%!$ about some disadvantage or disability, just remember her.”

“wow, wow, and WOW.”

“toejam football he got”

“that's like the weirdest lyric ever, Tilt! damn druggies.”

“Lyra, I think I've seen that same show. She was blonde, right?”

“yep! in high school, and on the cheerleading squad.”

“Now THAT'S what I call a set-up.”

“Actually, the funghi in Quorn are more closely related to the mold in toe jam than they are to Truffles. The marketers of Quorn got some flack for this misrepresentation when they first tried selling it in the States. I tried it once, it was pretty tasty. I've only seen it sold in pre-packaged meals, never as an ingredient for use in recipes - and - as Lyra notes - I haven't seen any vegan Quorn products.”

“Viol man... where is that pic of your toe cuisine you posted a while back?”

“It was on the My Left Foot thread but webspawner blocked all the images they were hosting for me - capitalist pigs!”

“'A well-known Bognor restaurant owner ...cut off his toes and served them all for tea...'...Harold The Barrel, Nursery Cryme, Genesis. One would think he couldn't go far, or last long.”

“Still looking for a copy of a favorite childhood story...

"Who Stole My Hairy Toe?"

(I seem to recall it was a soup dish)”

Soy is making kids 'gay'

There's a slow poison out there that's severely damaging our children and threatening to tear apart our culture. The ironic part is, it's a "health food," one of our most popular.

Now, I'm a health-food guy, a fanatic who seldom allows anything into his kitchen unless it's organic. I state my bias here just so you'll know I'm not anti-health food.

The dangerous food I'm speaking of is soy. Soybean products are feminizing, and they're all over the place. You can hardly escape them anymore.

I have nothing against an occasional soy snack. Soy is nutritious and contains lots of good things. Unfortunately, when you eat or drink a lot of soy stuff, you're also getting substantial quantities of estrogens.

Estrogens are female hormones. If you're a woman, you're flooding your system with a substance it can't handle in surplus. If you're a man, you're suppressing your masculinity and stimulating your "female side," physically and mentally.

In fetal development, the default is being female. All humans (even in old age) tend toward femininity. The main thing that keeps men from diverging into the female pattern is testosterone, and testosterone is suppressed by an excess of estrogen.

If you're a grownup, you're already developed, and you're able to fight off some of the damaging effects of soy. Babies aren't so fortunate. Research is now showing that when you feed your baby soy formula, you're giving him or her the equivalent of five birth control pills a day. A baby's endocrine system just can't cope with that kind of massive assault, so some damage is inevitable. At the extreme, the damage can be fatal.

Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the #&%!$, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That's why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today's rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because "I can't remember a time when I wasn't homosexual." No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can't remember a time when excess estrogen wasn't influencing them.

Doctors used to hope soy would reduce hot flashes, prevent cancer and heart disease, and save millions in the Third World from starvation. That was before they knew much about long-term soy use. Now we know it's a classic example of a cure that's worse than the disease. For example, if your baby gets colic from cow's milk, do you switch him to soy milk? Don't even think about it. His phytoestrogen level will jump to 20 times normal. If he is a she, brace yourself for watching her reach menarche as young as seven, robbing her of years of childhood. If he is a boy, it's far worse: He may not reach puberty till much later than normal.

Research in 2000 showed that a soy-based diet at any age can lead to a weak thyroid, which commonly produces heart problems and excess fat. Could this explain the dramatic increase in obesity today?

Recent research on rats shows testicular atrophy, infertility and uterus hypertrophy (enlargement). This helps explain the infertility epidemic and the sudden growth in fertility clinics. But alas, by the time a soy-damaged infant has grown to adulthood and wants to marry, it's too late to get fixed by a fertility clinic.

Worse, there's now scientific evidence that estrogen ingredients in soy products may be boosting the rapidly rising incidence of leukemia in children. In the latest year we have numbers for, new cases in the U.S. jumped 27 percent. In one year!

There's also a serious connection between soy and cancer in adults – especially breast cancer. That's why the governments of Israel, the UK, France and New Zealand are already cracking down hard on soy.

In sad contrast, 60 percent of the refined foods in U.S. supermarkets now contain soy. Worse, soy use may double in the next few years because (last I heard) the out-of-touch medicrats in the FDA hierarchy are considering allowing manufacturers of cereal, energy bars, fake milk, fake yogurt, etc., to claim that "soy prevents cancer." It doesn't.
