Comment Re:Organic does not mean pesticide free (Score 1) 20

Dude you can literally just Google the phrase which pesticides are allowed for organic farming.

This document? I'm surprised to learn that gelatine is permitted in the production of organic wine, because I would have assumed that wine was vegan, but it's hard to guess which permitted insecticides you're worried about.

Comment Re:Quit hating (Score 1) 89

There's the quote from Hot Fuzz about favouring "collision" over "accident", but I'm not convinced that the word "accident" implies that no-one was at fault. Turn it around: if you say "That collision wasn't an accident" then the implication is stronger than merely "Blame can be assigned": it's "It was intentional". And since intentionality is the difference between murder and manslaughter, organgtool is right on the nail.

Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.

James 2:18b, NIV.

Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

Romans 1:5, NIV, my emphasis.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 7:19-21, NIV.

Comment Re: Coconut milk? (Score 1) 193

I'm not aware of any way of making coconut cream other than from shredded coconut meat. "Ice coconut cream" fits the schema of your earlier post, but I wasn't sure whether you'd admit "coconut cream" as a noun phrase. When I made a frozen emulsion from coconut cream, lemongrass, ginger, and palm sugar I called it "coconut, lemongrass and ginger ice-cream" but explained to my friends that it was dairy-free so the lactose-intolerant could eat it. (I also served it as a starter, with prawn crackers, rather than a dessert, but that was for practical reasons: we were having a picnic at the beach and I wanted to serve it before it melted).

To answer the direct question, I think my grandparents got them from a local butcher in Ulverston. But note

The combinations of permitted herbs and spices may vary from butcher to butcher, but the prominent taste of Traditional Cumberland Sausage is quite spicy due to the generous amount of pepper added which is accompanied by a strong taste of herbs.

I must admit that I don't remember the "strong taste of herbs", but I do remember the pepper being the dominant flavour, sufficiently so that you would need quite a refined palate to precisely identify the source of umami.

Since you say in another recent comment that you're in San Diego, your experience is probably centred there. Although both burger and patty were originally primarily North American lexemes, the former has achieved much more international recognition. The Oxford English Dictionary describes burger as "Originally U.S." and patty as "Chiefly North American". While Vegeburger may have been an attempt to create market confusion when it was coined 80 years ago, "veggie burger" is the only name (except for more specific names such as "falafel") for approximate discs of minced vegetables intended for frying that I've heard in British English, and when it's used to describe home-cooked food there's no "market" in scope.

Here's a better idea, how about stop trying to make vegetables look and taste like meat?

Veggie burgers and sausages predate "trying to make vegetables look and taste like meat" by decades. They exist for the same reason that meat is made into burgers and sausages: it's a convenient form factor for cooking and eating.
