When people say they "hate vegan food" I'm almost certain these are the atrocities they have in mind, luckily in 2021 we can just go to the same supermarket and buy the vegan substitute of whatever food we desire. Non the less it's always fun to watch you mess around in the kitchen, whatever you're making. ♥
My best friend and my boyfriend are both vegan, so I eat vegan whenever I’m with them. Sometimes I prefer it… There are some really amazing vegan products out there. I don’t care much about meat substitutes because I’ve never loved meat. But there are some amazing vegan cheeses out there. And I love the Earth balance butter.
👏👏👏 okay but any "useless food waste" recipes that use peels, or other things you'd normally throw out, are DOPE. Love saving the food waste, hope it turns out yummy!
@@MerleONeal I've never eaten the peel (on a banana or the plantain LOL) but it is a lil more fibrous. I wonder if you scooped it down and made it the thickness of a banana peel if it would work out. I'm not sure what happens when you cook the peel.
Don’t do it! Too tough and gross! Maybe if using the sweeter ones the skins are a little softer. But it’s hard to find organic plantains anyway. Just fry up those plantains wo skins of course, or boil and mash the greens ones. Best
You should try using canned rambutan as vegan scallops! The canned Rambutan are very firm, and the texture and appearance are very similar to scallops (the canned version come without the pit). A few restaurants have been known to brine lychee or rambutan overnight to get rid of the syrup and sweetness: and their lack of potent taste lend them well to pick up other flavors!
What makes scallops good is the crust. I can't imagine rambutan (especially brined) would ever get dry enough to crisp up on the outside. There are some recipes for vegan scallops using mushrooms that are supposed to be good though.
@@MerleONeal Eeeeeep! Hey Merle! 👋🏾😊 Hypothetically.... maybe a little Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All" or Sarah Bareilles "She Used to be Mine" I feel like they could pair nicely with beautiful tone of your voice ( my unprofessional analysis based on what I heard lol) I'd be stoked!
Watching the replacment videos is always fun. I would like to see you try a sour creme one. I am also interested in low budget challenges, like stuff we would all already have in our pantry. Or a fundamentals type video, something about how to make any meal you make tasty through creative use of spices and other things.
my sister made some of these and i was surprised because they actually tasted really good lol, they had no actual banana or banana skin bitterness taste. I think she used a different seasoning though
Im not vegan, but I love bacon. So I tried fried banana peels. They're very good. I fry my peels in butter and add salt. Its simple, cheaper, and delicious.
I love the idea of using every part of a fruit but honestly, I just don't think there is any redeeming recipe out there for banana peels. They just hold too much banana flavor and bitterness. I feel like if anyone were to make a successful musa bacon, it'd be made out of fried plantain slices.
Rachael Ray did a Vegetarian Special 30 minute meals (like years and years ago) where she made pepperoni out of Zucchini for a Pizza- That might be a cool episode!
I Just Love your Videos,You are so Cool 😎 But Please try some Indian Vegan Recipe because India is known as Vegetarian country so we have a lot of recipes ..... please Try Merle Love You ❤️
I don't remove the in side nor use seasoning or fry them I just spray my plug in Griddle and and place them right on. I think all that extra stuff does to much.
Oh gosh I saw a girl on tik tok make this a while ago and said " Tastes like... Bacon" and yes she hesitated. And I was like no it doesn't. I've never even tried bacon but I KNEW.
Me seeing the title "Oh Merle, please don't do this" Me seeing you make it "Merle... please don't do this... it's not going to be good" Me watching you about to eat it "MERLE, DON'T THE BANANA PEEL"
Seems like the secret to most vegan recipes is the spices. If you can trick your senses, you can turn just about any old shit into a disappointing approximation of the food that normal people eat.
ugh. I buy bunches of bananas, peel them and freeze them to use in shakes and make ice cream. the peels go in a plastic bag and into the freezer and I throw them out when the bag is full. i figure.. it's more an economy of motion thing. feel me? so I just threw the bag in the trash, and walked the trash can out to the curb about an hour ago.... and then I see this. should I run out to the trash and bring them back... or is that more something I should do while drunk... or when it gets really dark out? asking for a friend.❓
