Food for thought: Protein - meat versus non-meat products

by Guest Tue Sep 29, 2015 8:39 pm

and all of it tastes like crap

well except for the "normal" veg... the rest is either tatseless or vile,, has the textire of goo and the "mouth feel" of a load of feathers....

most of the high protien stuff like tvp etc needs buckets of "flavourings (artificial chemical) to taste even remotely edible

but then blamd pointless tasteless anonymous would suit the veggie...who is almost invariably a lefty "eco warrior" out to "convert" everyone else to their life of culinary boredom

not to mention the fact that those figures are "coarse protien" not all of it is available to the human digestive system......

lets face it those flavourings are all one thing...curry, or bloody chille pepers...

and I cant abide either.....

You should eat more chili peppers, it'll put hair on your balls!

Do you want firey hairy balls Vic?

by Guest Tue Sep 29, 2015 9:35 pm

it may well put hair on me balls.....

but it will also make me shit through the eye of a needle

the bloody stuff should be exterminated off the planet........

the slightest trace of the "mexican " type pepers does me for 2 days, stomach cramps and the trots....

the green thai stuff aint so bad...but I still detest the taste....

I love peppery things but I don't like really really hot food, it makes the food lack any taste except the heat that burns your mouth!

I love mustard in my mash but when I put to much in it ruins my dinner.

West Indian hot pepper sauce is the best.

I don't like peppery things, and I really don't like mustard. Don't like chili peppers either.

I hate bland food
Having said that, Raw mushrooms and cucumber are my favourite flavours in the world

It's when it gets to the shaft that you know you've had too much.

I like salt - that stops things being bland.

That ghost chili salsa was the first time I ate anything so hot that I could feel the heat in my stomach, not just my mouth Smile

If you routinely eat food with peppers, you eventually do taste flavors beyond the heat of the pepper.

or shit yourself to death...whichever comes first.....

While capsaicin might set our mouth on fire, it also leads blood vessels to relax, so it could help people with high blood pressure. Prolonged activation of TRPV1 on the membranes of pain and heat-sensing nerve cells also depletes substance P, one of the body’s messenger chemicals. That is why the compound that puts the fire in jalapeños is used as an analgesic in ointments, nasal sprays and patches to relieve minor aches and pains, and the itching of psoriasis.

Now a study by Andrew Dillin of the University of California, Berkeley, suggested this analgesic effect could have a yet more profound impact on humanity. He explained how as humans age they report a higher incidence of pain, suggesting that pain might drive the ageing process and, indeed, his team found that mice genetically manipulated to lack TRPV1 lived on average about 14% longer than normal mice and, importantly, without apparent complications.

Blocking the pain receptor not only extends lifespan, it also gave the mice a more youthful metabolism, including an improved insulin response that allows them to deal better with high blood sugar. “Pharmacological manipulation of TRPV1 may improve metabolic health and longevity,” Dillin says.

But, of course, chilli offers another way to achieve the same end because constant activation of the TRPV1 receptor results in death of its host nerve cell, mimicking the loss of TRPV1 that extended lifespan. Eating a diet rich in capsaicin might, he says, “help prevent metabolic decline with age and lead to increased longevity in humans”.

No - but want to reduce my meat intake.

My sister is a vegan extremist though. Always trying to convert me.

My new favorite salsa:

I made Ghost Chilli Jam
it is hotter than any purchased product Twisted Evil

I wanted to see how hot it would be just Pure Ghost Chili (every recipe i saw used no more than a third of the mix as Ghost Chili) .... the answer is VERY
