Do you ever have food nostalgia from what you ate on vacation? I do.
I sigh over all those US raspberries… blueberries… cherries… Haas avocados… Ezekiel brand English muffins… tempeh…
WHOA… hold the phone… what the heck is TEMPEH?? I know, right?? I ate it for the first time about 2 years ago, and was put off of it for about a year. Tempeh is made from cooked & slightly fermented soybeans, and pressed into a cake or patty. It’s firmer in texture than tofu and has a nutty (and slightly fermented) flavour. (Maybe this is what put me off the first time… that flavour… I didn’t marinate it at all and you really should.) But once it’s properly marinated, it’s delicious, and I’d say kind of addictive….
