Are you ready for banana peel bacon? I expect this is the sort of thing that gives vegans the reputation for weird food. Banana peels are trending now more than ever.
Here it is: Scrape off the white inside part of very ripe banana peels, then marinade it in soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika for 10 minutes to a few hours. Heat oil in the skillet, add the peels until golden and bubble up a little. They get crispier as they cool.
As I mentioned, banana peels are trending. So many ways to eat them and things to do with banana peels. There's banana peel vegan pulled pork sandwiches, banana peel vinegar, banana peel flour. And you can polish your silver, whiten your teeth, relieve itchy skin.
I wonder about vegan eating. I notice is how vegan eating articles are focused on meat. Are we by nature meat eaters and veganism is unnatural? I hadn't thought that: my own theory is that we are protein and fat lovers. But vegan articles seem to obsess on meat replacements. One article shows you vegan haggis, vegan peking duck vegan shrimp, vegan sushi, vegan steaks, meat-less vegan jerky, vegantoona, black seaweed-caviar, and butter chik'un.
There is lots of evidence of weird combinations proposed in vegan cooking. An article proposes avocado and chocolate, apples and hummus, pickles and peanut butter, pomegranate and guacamole. It goes on with more of these sorts of combinations. They look like things that fraternity parties would serve in U.S. colleges.
This is the month of roses and rose bushes have more flowers than I can remember seeing in the past. Today's picture is a garden in Queenston.
