It’s low-carb season at Fare Exchange; there is increasing interest in this topic.
Diane Ownbey, for one, wrote, “I, along with other family members, have recently gone the low carb route. We would love you see your readers’ suggestions for easy recipes. You can’t live on bacon and eggs forever.”
And when I responded to Ms. Ownbey, telling her of my recent discovery of Carbonaut bread, she replied, “Arnold and Lewis (brands) both have fantastic hot dog and burger buns, but I’m still looking for a sliced bread that doesn’t taste like an Amazon box.” (Though who knows, really, what an Amazon box tastes like?)
Saturday was hamburger night, as usual, at a certain home. A couple of the guests, though, wanted veggie burgers.
One of them spoke up. “I don’t want a veggie burger that tastes like a hamburger. I want a veggie burger that tastes like veggies. I know veggie burgers are made with a variety of binders — things like black beans and quinoa — but I want a recipe that highlights the taste of the vegetables. And if no one can make such a burger, please give us the names of the best veggie burgers that can be bought locally.”
