Yes you are so quirky

I'm vegan on caloric restriction and inadvertently protein restriction since fruits/vegetables are low in protein. Almost no fat in my diet either

So I found soy chorizo to be a good replacement for moderate vegetable protein and soy health benefits, though it's a bit high in fat and sodium. It still allows me to maintain protein restriction and not that much calories total consumed per day, and high fiber too I guess helps me to feel very satiated because I eat once a day just breakfast.

I used to eat a can of vegetarian chili beans everyday for it but now replaced with soy chorizo.

And it's delicious by itself like an icecream. Sometimes I crumble it up and mix with mushrooms or frozen vegetable packs, but not often.

Am I not supposed to eat a soy chorizo by itself? No one does this? Is this an addiction?

>>16771630
Great with scrambled eggs or as taco filling. I don’t know how else to use though.
Add to a quesadilla or top a queso fundido but what else?

>>16771661
I just eat it by itself straight from the wrapper.

>>16771660
Who the fuck cares? Just eat it

>>16771630
>by itself
What?

>>16771630
Are they good?

>>16771669
>straight from the wrapper.
without cooking it?

>>16771684
yeah...? is that weird?

>>16771688
yeah no cooking, I just have like 30 soy chorizos in the fridge, take one out everyday and eat it by itself from wrapper cold or room temperature.

My roommate saw me eating it like a candy or icecream cone and she's like "what THE FUCK?"

>>16771689
What does it mean? I'm confuse.

>>16771687
it's really delicious. Tastes like canned chili beans but better and buttery texture.

>>16771630
>cook before eating
>Eating one soy chorizo by itself everyday.
enjoy dying of poisoning

>>16771630

You do.

>>16771700
Yeah I do concern about its high sodium and fat content.

But soy protein isolate isoflavones and phytoestrogens like genistein probably outweighs the risk.

And the ingredients aren't anything cytotoxic...how is it poisoning?

>>16771660
Mexican here.
Add chorizo to beans or lentils, everything mashed.

>>16771687
Spiced up enough that it doesn’t taste vegetable at all, just like regular chorizo instead. Slightly more crumbly before you cook it.

>>16771732
>>16771772
wait I thought soy chorizo is already cooked or no need to cook?

I just eat it cold by itself, or heat up some frozen vege or mushrooms and then add crumbled cold soy chorizo.

Cooking or microwaving it always made the texture worse and too dry from moisture loss.

>>16771692
Post pix of roommate or pix of panties. Plz.

>>16771791
Since it is made of soy there shoulnd't be any problem not cooking it but try it with beans and see how it is, just put plenty of it since it seems you really like the flavor.

>>16771791
Cook it you dumbass. It's gnarly and supergreasy uncooked. You're just one retarded cooklet vegan zoom zoom aren't you? I hope your roommate kicks your ass next time you gross him out.

>>16771813
yeah I like the flavor, sometimes with cooked mushrooms or frozen vegetable packets steamed. They're hot enough so I just add cold uncooked soy chorizo and it gets warm enough.

I do it to bulk up the portion without adding much calories, but most of times I just eat the soy chorizo by itself like a corndog.

>>16771828
Bu bu but it's tasty by itself though...I mean isn't it like people eating beef jerky or charcuterie meat by itself?

>>16771842
No it’s not meant to be eaten straight, although considering your a fucking retard, go right ahead. Quit spamming your own thread with how le quirky you are and go back to plebbit.

>>16771842
The package in op pic says cook before eating. This is all you eat and you haven’t even looked at the package?

>>16771630
Stop being mentally ill and cook your food

>>16771862
is there any harm not cooking it?

>>16771856
>>16771876
ok sorry.

If I buy regular chorizo to use in a dish I'll sometimes cut a big bit off, chop it into pieces and eat them as a snack. Eating one of these a day as your sole food sources seems like it would cause problems down the line though.

>>16771888
I don’t know you stupid shit I imagine the good folk at Reynaldo’s Mexican Food Company would not have written REMOVE CASING BEFORE COOKING, COOK BEFORE EATING, COOK TO 165*F BEFORE SERVING in all caps in the center of their label if they didn’t think it was possibly a not bad idea to do so but what do I know.

I bet you’ve been eating the plastic casing too have you

>>16771949
I'm stupid but not that stupid. I remove the casing.

but at first I thought it would be like a sausage edible casing.

>>16771928
Are you referring to Spanish chorizo that’s more like salami or Mexican chorizo that’s really just meant for cooking into things?

>>16771732
yeah and what do mexibros do with soy?

>>16771630
>soy chorizo
>I am chorizo

>>16773613
use it in place of chorizo amigo

>>16771630
You're not only weird but also a fuckin fag!

>>16771660
Why are you on a caloric restriction? Are you one of those weird obese vegans? If so you probably have some weird food allergies, go get tested

>>16774520
For longevity and health. It's more protein restriction completely avoiding animal protein, only consuming plant source amino acids.

I work in a related field and I self experiment with aging interventions.
