Tempeh is such a celebrated staple of Indonesia, I can't believe you're calling it gross! I LOVE the way it is prepared in Bali -- it doesn't need to taste bitter. Just boil it first. Also, the best vegan ice cream I've ever had is coconut based, and it doesn't taste like coconut at all! To each their own, I guess.
Thank you for this tip! I have avoided tempeh because of the bitterness.
I love tempeh. This lady doesn't know what she is talking about. Almond milk is too expensive for me so I never tasted it, but I love everything she said she hates. Typical spoilt picky American. Very very boring. Plus she praises cashew ice cream. Is she okay with exploitative trade with cashew nuts? Very unethical!
This is why you don't trust random influencers 👍🏻tempeh can be absolutely delicious
@@badatthese That's exactly why you don't let other people pick food for you. You just proved my point
Tempeh is delicious. Just like most things, it is to each his own. It is simply a matter of taste. What one person may love another may hate😊
I also used to think tempeh was gross until I learnt how to cook. Boil and marinate, actually delicious.
It's because the tempeh in America is made with old beans. This is why it's bitter. The tempeh in Bali isn't bitter at all. I just slice it and fry it for 2 minutes.
I like tempeh when I buy it already marinated in the store but for some reason when I try to marinate it on my own I can never get the sauce to penetrate. It just kinda coats the outer surface of the tempeh no matter how long I let it sit, so it can be super flavorful on the outside and taste like nothing inside 😭 any tips??
@@arielrodriguez968 yeah you need to slice it and boil it with garlic & salt after that you deep-fried it that's how Indonesians cook it for daily meal.
@@strawberriec Ohhhh ok that’s genius thank you so much. How long do I boil it for?
@@arielrodriguez9685-10 min is all. Then drain and put in your marinade for an hour.
i actually miss black bean burgers! now impossible is usually the default burger at restaurants and it'll do as my one option in a pinch but i miss black bean. it wasn't trying to be meat
black bean burgers make me feel nostalgic when it was the only thing i would make fake meats with 8 years ago!
I actually miss Boca burgers. I remember when those were the only ones I could get. They’re not the greatest but they do make me nostalgic
I actually have sensory issues (autism lol) when it comes to meat products, which was a major factor in my veganism. The Impossible Burger Patty is SO meat-like that it triggers these sensory issues.
I much prefer black bean burgers, and they’re so easy to make at home ❤️
Fully agree and I literally eat meat- I just love black bean burgers
AGREED the other day I was reminiscing about my fav black bean burgers. I think it’s my sign to make some
I'm not even vegan, but I love coconut ice cream!!
Its like elite vanilla
To my tastebuds
Coconut is the best ice cream flavor
same!!
Yeah, coconut has a vanilla taste so it fits perfectly for ice cream
For me it's because, well for one, I don't like the taste as much as cashew or soy, but also out of all the vegan ice creams it's by far the least healthy. So there's really no reason to ever eat it unless you prefer the taste.
I never heard ir coconut ice cream
allergic to oat milk and soy milk exacerbates my IBS… so it’s almond milk for me :)
i like macadamian milk the best. i don't do soy and store bought almond milk doesn't always taste good. plus some of the extra ingredients has gluten in it.
Everyone should make it at home! Takes 5 minutes. Soak 2 cups overnight, blend and strain in a cheesecloth. Super rich, slightly sweet and nutty. It’s the best.
I love coconut. I guess I grew up with it and we call it haupia in Hawaii. Haupia ice cream( it’s non dairy)taste better then the ones in the stores esp from real coconuts. We mix ube & haupia together all the time. Yumm.
😋
Indeed , delicious japanese restaurants have coconut ice cream too and even when i wasn't vegan i loved it❣️😋😋😋
i love oat milk but my favorite thing about almond milk is that it’s almost like water but like nutty water 😂
It depends on the brand. And one can also make their own. Kinda ignorant to hate on all almond milk
Yep. I mean for recipes I will use Something like oat or Cashew milk. But I love Almond milk especially in cereal
@@littlefirecracker1289Exactly
I never had oat milk but I love the nutty water too lol
I understand her. She was a vegan before vegan was main stream, and it was honestly really hard to find other options. For the things like black bean burgers and chocolate, I agree while I love dark chocolate, it would be nice to have milk chocolate once in a while. Almond milk is really chalky, Tempe does have a weird texture and taste, and any ice cream that has coconut as a base taste like coconut, no matter white sometimes I don’t wanna taste coconut. I think she made valid preferences from a long term vegan POV.
Agreed, like its only recently I've found vegan chocolate that I really enjoy (vegan kitkat, loveraw cream wafers) and tempeh I feel like you need to know what you're doing with it to make it work whereas I just would not know how to use it. As for the Burger patties, I have no arguments there haha
Most almond milk on the market is disgusting and I'm not a vegetarian, Let alone a vegan so I "Feel" for you. All the goodness of almond milk has been stepped on. Silk is a brand I will never buy and blue diamond used to be one of the few good ones but they changed. My advice is to invest in a good food processor or ninja version, some really good strainers and blend your own. The same sentiment goes to the ice cream stuff. Real coconut meat, and true oil actually doesn't taste all that strong of coconut, and I love coconut but Even I've had some things where it's so overpowering it's a yuck 🤢. WHY oH WHY can't food be real anymore. New and Improved doesn't mean better. It means They reformulated to be Less costly to the company to produce or manufacture, with less than or inferior ingredients, in smaller sizes, so they can hype up false claims, increase the cost and tell us they're doing it for our benefit... I might have been Born At Night but it wasn't last night and this is not my first rodeo. Hey company - All of them. I Read the fine print. You're not fooling anyone...
I make Tempeh in memory of my daughter that was Vegan. Crumble it and cook on low heat(I like mine a little browned) then add your favorite bbq sauce(very quick and just set aside). Cut up some pieces of kale without stem and shred some carrots. Enough for a sandwich. Let sit in a mixed mixture of rice vinegar with a dab of mustard, garlic powder and paprika. Just enough time to absorb flavors and to soften kale and carrots to your liking. Add everything to your favorite bun. I make sweet potato fries on the side to go with it. That was one of her favorites 😉
God bless your daughter
I’m so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful way to honor and remember your daughter 🩷🙏
@@lolacookie453 Thank you very much!💖
@@gigiogu Sending you a big hug and healing energy! 🩷🙏

Dark chocolate is real chocolate. Why would I buy crappy American milk chocolate??? Nop thanks. Give 90% chocolate.
Most people don't share your opinion. And tbh, americans may have bad food but their chocolates are delicious. No need to call them crappy. You can praise one without bringing down the other.
Dark chocolate isn't any more real than American chocolate. It's just higher in chocolate liqeur and cacao. Mass-produced American chocolate is just cheap. It may contain fewer cocoa solids, or have butyric acid, or vegetable fats, or be cooked at a lower temperature. We can blame this on the standard Hershey set. But there are plenty of American brands that are as good or better than International brands.
But she's not dissing American brands here. She's annoyed by the fact that there aren't that many milk chocolate options for people with dietary restrictions. Most of the world can't drink dairy milk. Vegan milk chocolate would be great for even non-vegans.
@@harveyspecter1855 Outside of the USA, most countries do not like a lot of mainstream American chocolate brands because of butyric acid which makes it taste very sour. I know there are chocolates in the USA that taste nice (I have had some great chocolates in the USA) but it’s not famous for having great tasting chocolate like Switzerland and Peru.
@@werewolfcountry she didn’t even say “American milk chocolate” though
@@Iluvpie6 she lives in america. She’s not eating chocolate from other countries lol
Tempeh is not gross, it is an aquired taste and liking it can also be cultural based. It is not your taste, but not gross.
She just said she thinks its gross lmfao its her opinion and its just food its not the end of the world is someone thinks a food is disgusting
@@KingKobrasChipz right!! 😂😂 are we even getting 'offended over food preferences now 🤦♀️
It’s gross to HER. And that’s fine. Her opinion does not require your permission or approval. People like what they like, and don’t like what they don’t like. It’s not a cultural issue. It’s a matter of preference. Get over it, you’ll survive.
It is okay for her to say it's gross and not to like it and I feel a bit shocked wherever I hear anyone say such things about food but it just might be because of my strict parents who would say you can never say such things because of the hard work it takes to grow and cook the food which I know they are right but now I feel suprised when others rightly express their own taste buds 🤷 when others said that it was okay to dislike that's when I realised oh we are allowed to dislike food too✌️
It’s her opinion…
I can't agree more. Dark chocolate, tempeh, black beans...the are better options out there.
Hard disagree on the tempeh. But I’m with you on everything else!
Right?! Although I do think Americans who buy tempeh for the first time almost always throw it out! It doesn’t look appetizing. But man, when you know how to cook it… amazing stuff!
@@ThreeTortiesIndonesian here, been eating tempeh all my life even since I was born. I moved in the US 4 years ago and I have to say Lightlife tempeh I got from Target is disgusting 🤮. It tastes like plastic no matter how you cook. I tried it one time only and will never ever put it again in my mouth. That’s not what tempeh is supposed to taste like. So, it’s not about the method of cooking, but the USA tempeh product is just not right. If you want good quality tempeh, do not ever use USA mass produced tempeh product! Just use the artisan product made by Indonesian immigrants or make your own tempeh using ragi starters.
@@dailywwin how interesting! I need to figure out which Asian markets near me carry genuine Indonesian tempeh, I'd love to try it.
@@dailywwinTo be fair you only tried one brand from one chain. I think the tempeh from Trader Joe’s is good
@@ThreeTorties Try Wiwas Tempeh! They’re in Texas but you can buy it online. Or you can make your own tempeh using ragi from Raprima brand and don’t put any vinegar in the making process.
i love black bean burgers omg, the best lol
Black bean burgers are disgusting.
Ask me if I care what you think
I love dark chocolate. There’s a time and place for milk chocolate but dark chocolate is where it’s at. Just nothing like 90% which is too bitter
Finally someone agrees with me on all these things!! I used to feel so weird when talking to other vegans bc they all love this stuff and I hate it(:
All personal preference right?! You're likely the only one to agree with me!
@@EdgyVeg 9 years vegan and I'm amazed I've 100% voiced these same opinions before for EVERY single point. Another thing that annoys me is that a lot of vegan treats in shops always have to be gluten free, so are crumbly and ashy in the mouth. Just give me something that tastes good 🤣
Ugh the dark chocolate though. It's bad enough to try to find something that I can have with my dairy allergy. Chocolate that tastes like black coffee is a no for me 🙅🏻♀️
Yes dark chocolate is pretty gross
Try the "vego" chocolate brand in the hazelnut flavour ...you won't be disappointed
Calling cultural foods gross isn’t a good look. You might not like it, but you should respect it.
I'm with you except, I love almond milk.❤
I love my tempeh but I’m with you on the dark chocolate and the black bean burgers! 😂 I got so burned out on black bean burgers in the first 5 years being vegetarian.
I’m with you on the tempeh. I hate that’s stuff for all the reasons you mentioned
Jeni's brand non dairy ice creams use a coconut milk base and it does not taste like coconut. Best texture and taste of any vegan ice cream I've tried. Amazing stuff
literally the best thing in the universe. I have to not allow myself to get it or else I’ll eat it every day of the week 😭😭🤝
I agree about coconut ice cream (and most coconut based vegan items), but hard disagree on dark chocolate.
Leave me and my almond milk alone!! 😭
I've also been vegan for 12 years and am soooooo over the black bean burger! I'm so happy about all the new plant based chocolate bars :)
I can relate I've been a vegan going on 10 yrs and im so over black bean burgers
You must be young! I remember when all you could get at restaurants were Boca burgers or Gardenburgers- two companies that made mass produced frozen vegetarian pattie’s that tasted awful- especially the boca burger! If you’ve been vegan for 10 years, you’ve had a ton of options at any restaurant. It literally used to be a garden salad or a boca burger and that was literally it for most places!
@@janesays1278babe that still is the case for many places at least in the U.S. 🤣 i live in rural as you can get, bible belt U.S.A and the options are literally those 2. THANK GOD for the local middle eastern people recently opening up restaurants that offer delicious falafels, hummus, and grape leaf dinners.. otherwise i would perish
🍖🍗🥩🍗🍖🥩🍗🍖🥩🍗🍖💩
Yesssss. With you on the icecream, black bean burgers, and dark chocolate. But I love me some almond milk- it’s sweet, light, and neutral. Oat milk tastes chalky to me.
Tempe is great if you boil if first!
But I agree with every other thing I’m so sick of dark chocolate I think I just hate chocolate all together now
Tempeh is my fave!
All that other shit is fake frakenmeat, it's Cultured, takes a cultured palate
Right! It’s needing some marinade, or boil to lessen the fermented flavor.
Disagree with you and edgy veg
I am with you on the Tempeh - I really tried to like it but it’s just like mold - I am not a fan of oat milk but the coconut/ almond milk blend is perfect for me 😊

Tempeh challenge😊
You just need to learn how to cook it properly look up some tempeh recipes by gaz Oakley
@@jeovanniperez3949Indonesian here, been eating tempeh all my life since I was born. It’s not just about the method of cooking, but the tempeh sold outside Indonesia isn’t right. I now live in the states and have to say all USA mass produced tempeh products are disgusting. Tempeh shouldn’t be that complicated to cook. Everyone in Indonesia can cook tempeh. No need complicated methods like the one you see in Westerners channel. I suggest you to watch Indonesian chef channel, they know what they’re doing and they know best how to cook tempeh. Search “Tempe Devina Hermawan”. She’s one of the best Indonesian chefs. She got English subtitles on her channel.
Yes!! Been vegan for 7 years and I so agree with you! Even though I do like dark chocolate 😊.
There were a few years where I really couldn’t eat hummus anymore, but recently I love it again. Now I’m sort of on a break from falafel 🤣 I had too much falafel hahaha
Tempeh is incredible - it's not necessarily just a "vegan" food option but an ingredient used in certain cultures cuisine; there are great recipes for proper preparation, (rather than commercialized "bacon" tempeh)
Remember y'all, food should not be fun, you should only ever have the purest and most internet-accpeted versions of food AT ALL TIMES!
I love it!! I was waiting for someone to say this
🤣🤣🤣
Look up "boring" in the dictionary, the picture is black bean burger
LOL I just recently had a spicy one tho 😭
DUDE that’s literally not true. Black Bean burgers are bomb and super easy to make, I make them at home all the time (bc I’m broke and vegan lol).
I'm not even vegan. I'm dairy free and I completely agree with you on chocolate. That in the fact that it is much more expensive. Though I will state that using plant. Based milks does cause a little more of an issue getting the chocolate to be cohesive
This was a great video topic! You should do a part 2! 👊🏽
100% Agree with everything ya said babe
Tempeh is amazing!!!
I'm not a big tempeh fan but I do like to sometimes cube it, marinate it in a little Bragg's amino's, Wright's liquid smoke, Penzeys "sausage seasoning" then air fry until a little crisp and eat it with some grits and some plant scramble like JUST Egg or tofu. Btw forgive the brand name drops - I'm not being sponsored by anyone, those are simply the combos I used that make Tempeh tasty for me.
Ok not a fan on Tempeh - but will try it again someday lol I don’t want to give up yet lol
Too each their own! 😊
I'm not sure if you can still buy it, but Morningstar Farms had these thin patties, and the bean burger was really good, there was another one that had veggies in it that was good too.
Tempeh is wonderful but in Asian cuisines, sambal tempe (crispy chili fried tempe), lodeh (veggie turmeric curry)
Agree with everything you said 100%. We must have the same tase buds.
definitely agree with you on the coconut ice cream and almond milk and dark chocolate
Lol I disagree with everything but I like your attitude so much! 😂😅 Tempeh is so tasty! I just had some today. And dark chocolate is the only REAL chocolate. That other stuff is diluted with sugar. But to be honest when I went vegan dark chocolate was the only vegan option and my tastebuds adjusted to it. I now prefer dark rich flavour even with other options around.
I agree with Tempeh, try it once and never again will I eat it😂😂
I started my vegan journey in 2015, & you turned me vegan officially in 2016. I love the coconut ice cream base for the nostalgia! I miss only being able to have black bean burgers; the way that the black bean burger would melt & break apart in the sandwich. we have so many new options now, and I love it. now the meat eaters are less annoying 😭🙏
With you on all of this!!!❤
try steaming the tempeh before cooking it. it makes it way less bitter and better texture
i’m vegetarian and i actually enjoy everything you listed.😂 to each their own i guess🤷♀️
I’m with you on the coconut but everything Ele stays for me😭
I’m with you on the almond milk. So gross. I do like *some* black bean burgers but others are shite. Dark chocolate I do like but I see how it can be bitter depending on the brand.
She doesn't eat black bean burgers; she eats 'impossible burgers.'
I'll eat any vegan burger including impossible burgers. To each their own, who cares if someone doesn't eat something you don't or do?
Yup! That’s my personal preference!
Cashew ice cream deserves all the love
Not from people with nut allergies...
PSA guys- Purdys- a Canadian chocolatier makes the BEST vegan chocolates. Vegan turtles and Vegan salted caramels! in vegan milk chocolate as well, holy god its amazing stuff. you should check them out they ship outside of canada too!
THANK YOU!!! Will definitely be checking them out.
I love my soy milk💖
It's the best plant-based milk alternative by far.
“Coconut is too strong a flavor”
Girl bye. Tell me you’re white without telling me you’re white.
Yeah white racism doesn't exist lol
is it bad to not like a fruit?
I’m not white and I’m pretty sure you just misinterpreted what she said. Coconut is a really strong flavor, so if you make coconut ice cream it will take taste like coconuts no matter what else you add to it. That’s fine if you want something coconut flavored, but if you don’t then it’s not so great.
Definitely agree with the almond milk...oat milk gives my coffee that creaminess that I enjoy
It's wild how upset people are getting in the comments about a stranger's personal food preferences.
I love all of them 😅😂😂😂
Yesssss. I agree on all counts, except that I do still enjoy a black bean burger from time to time ✌️
Duuude i use to hate tempeh too because i had a "vegan BLT" and hated the texture. Then one day i decided to try it again, i made it CRISPY AND CRUNCHY, in the oven, and i cannot express enough how DELICIOUS it was, i was in heaven, i had 2 servings for dinner because it was sooo good. I now love tempeh, it just has to be cooked a certain way. I cannot get over that texture, biting into layers of soft and crunchy layered over each other, soooooooo so good. Like the outer part of every single bean in the tempeh was crunchy. It's amazing
I agree with every single thing you said lmao. Literally all of it.
Ok so I live in Indonesia as a vegan too and Tempeh, coconut based literally everything and dark chocolate are not to think away!! I could personally not imagine living without any of the things she mentioned!!
Candace. If you want a good tempeh. Try Tempea. You can get it in Vancouver. They also just recently released a cracker/chip made from it. They use the same culture as tempeh. Instead of soy beans. They use peas. The flavour is so much better.
For vegan milk chocolate, we actually have an oat milk chocolate by Whittakers here in NZ! It's really good, but it does have a bit of an oat milk aftertaste (which I still like)
Calling another cultures food gross is pretty gross.
I religiously drink soy milk. PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTEIN
90% is the best dark chocolate and you can't change my mind.
noooo!! 😂
I took a cooking class in Bali and they taught me how to make crispy sweet and spicy tempeh. Best vegan protein(taste wise) I’ve ever had and I was a tempeh avoider too! You need the right recipe for sure 👍
Yes, absolutely!
Yes to ALL of them. I thought it was only me. Glad to see I’m not alone here.
I'm recently just vegetarian again so I don't know what like regular boxed Mac n cheese falls under but if you can eat it try it with a splash of vanilla soy milk and just the cheese packet (not sure if it's real cheese or chemicals lol), it makes it so much richer like you weren't making a depression meal at midnight 🖤
I'm pretty sure that I'm in love with the food and the cook 😍
Awe
I actually prefer almond milk over oat milk
Agreed 👍 i hate the taste of oat milk
😂😂😂 I feel you with the black bean burger- I still like it sometimes but I’m glad there are more options now
Black beans burgers and almond milk will always be my go to. Very low glycemic loads compared to soy milk and oat milk (btw when oat milk is being made the fermentation process produces a high amount of sugar that they legally don’t have to put on the labels
Yes, but the amount of water that goes into almond farming...yikes!
I’ll buy all of the tempeh!!! I’m going to switch it up to Oatmilk, I currently drink Almond milk, heavy. But I definitely see your point on all of these
To each their own right?!
What other ice cream can we get because I am deathly allergic to cashews and coconut is too overwhelming
I’ve been a vegan for 19 years so I can relate on wanting options options options bc 20 years ago we didn’t have the endless choices that we have today! 🙏 You got what you got and that was it! 😂
However tempeh, I love it! So many ways to prepare it!! 😂❤
I am a strict type of pescatarian, but I regularly consume plant-based alternatives. The coconut icecream and almond milk ones are so relatable! Why the hell isn't oatmilk icecream more popular than all the other plant-based icecreams? It's hypoallergenic, doesn't bring out unwanted flavors, and much better tasting! I will never get it.
Agreed! It would be so creamy and delicious!
Tempeh is so good though
I actually do pick almond milk for the texture ,I went though lots of testing a few years ago because I can’t stand the taste or texture of milk . And it was the best one for me .
VEGAN CHEESE tastes horrible! Every single one I’ve tried: chao, daiya, kite hill etc. they don’t taste like cheese AT ALL, as some who grew up eating various cheeses, all vegan cheese I try looks. tastes, and smells weird. 🤷🏽♀️ I almost threw up when I took a bite of a vegan pizza. Looks melted but had jello consistency😂🤮
The only time I eat vegan cheese is is in Mac n cheese that I make myself or melted cheese grits
🤷🏽♀️ I’ve invested so much money in vegan cheeses but I a t this point I’ve accepted that they all taste bad in my opinion. The only one I can stomache is my homemade cashew cheese and even that’s not exactly like cheese.
So I just don’t eat cheese😂
Agreed with the black bean burger. I'm not a vegan (I love honey and plain dairy yoghurt too much) but recently the only burgers for non-carnivores you can get is the meat replacement 'plant burgers' or bean burgers! Like, you can make perfectly amazing burgers with, you know, visible peas, carrots, potatoes, you know, actual vegetables! It's frustrating, and the only place I can get actual vegetables is, ironically, McDonald's with their Veggie Delight - two vegetable fingers in the place of a burger. So weird to be the one who wants to go to McD's when friends are arranging a meetup!
What! I love tempeh and black bean burgers! In fact, thanks for reminding me to get some lol.
Haha! Anytime!
@@EdgyVeg 😆 💙
Now I'm curious what would happen if I mixed chocolate with powdered nonmilk coffee creamer...
grilled portabello caps are a fantastic black bean Burger replacement ( I still like a black bean burger every now and then, but I totally get being burnt out on them. I've been eating this way for 20+ years.)
Ok but how can you have milk chocolate without milk?
Because it's plant based milk.
Oh no 😢I love almond milk. It’s my fav. Soy is great too but I think oat is the worst it overpowers everything I add it too. But we’re all different and look at us doing great by not consuming animal products 🫶❤
"Why would you buy Coconut ice cream? It tastes like coconut!" 🤨?
I literally agree with everything except the coconut milk ice cream, I will eat that but my go to is always gonna be ice cream
Never tried tempeh, but I like all of these foods. Although, I definitely agree with coconut ice not being a good choice if you don't want to taste coconut.
Love these foods, but ya those are valid points. Especially black bean burgers being everywhere as the vegan option before beyond and others became more common. Nice vid
I’ve been saying the dark chocolate thing for yeaaaars!
Tempeh is a hit or miss it can taste really funky if it's old if it's fresh, it's superb.
agreed!
Coming from an 11yr vegan 🤓
Tempeh: I like the 3 Grain Tempeh from Trader Joe’s the best! It doesn’t taste as bitter (tho I don’t mind that) but it allows me to include a couple different fermented grains that I wouldn’t normally eat. The more plant varieties the better. Also it’s the cheapest! I eat it every day with a Thai ginger dipping sauce 😙👌🏻
Coconut ice cream: bleh, it’s too watery 😝 cashew is best 🙌🏻 (might make you fart tho)
Almond milk: only the chocolate variety! I can’t find chocolate milk in any other nut variety without paying twice as much. I think I’ve only found Ripple brand making a chocolate milk.
Dark chocolate: love it and only buy it dark. I get dark chocolate with almonds in it (less sugar, added benefit), then add peanut butter and hemp hearts on top and it’s like a candy bar for me 😋
Burgers: not much of a burger fan so I don’t really buy any, unless it’s the best looking thing on the menu.
I totally agree with all 5 of your NEVERS...even though we've had the occasional black bean burger that we can stomach and the occasional piece of dark chocolate is OK-ish!
I have never related so hard to anything in my life
Our taste buds just wired different… I happen to dislike the options you liked 😂
That's what makes us unique!
