Does anyone have any experience with cashew cheese?

How does it taste? How easily can you alter the flavor of it?

>> No.4408947

no, but I think I might like it. I am going to look into it.

Cool. I ordered nutritional yeast and Agar Agar and I'm planning on making it in a few days. I'd like to use it on a pizza most of all

The nutritional yeast is supposed to give it a cheesy flavor and the agar agar can thicken it to whatever consistency you like. No idea what to actually expect from the taste though. Google images shows a lot of different kinds so I guess there's different methods of making it to achieve different tastes

seems pretty neat, honestly I don't give a fuck about vegan shit, its usually organic and thus pretty much worthy of scorne, but I'm all for the ideas of carving out new materials to make food with, the richer the food material culture, the richer variety. None of the cheeses here look any worse than any other cheese, and who knows, maybe they will crack something cheap and delicious.

>> No.4409108

There's a place in Toronto called Upaya Naturals you can order it from if you don't want to make it yourself: http://www.upayanaturals.com/
In my experience it's very good. My only advice I guess is to taste the nutritional yeast before you use too much of it because you might hate the flavor.

i get not wanting to eat animal products, muh freedoms etc etc

but stop calling your food names that are at best misleading, and more often than not completely wrong

this isn't a cheese, it's a nut spread. call it that!

There are shitloads of 'vegan alternative' products that are embarassing, even for a non vegan to look at. If you really wanted to give these things up why are you so hellbent on recreating them out of soy loaf?

90% of the hatred vegans get is because they try cute little lies like this instead of being honest.

yeah nutritional yeast is kinda "cheesy". That stuff looks really good, next time I have the money I will try to make some. I don't know if it would be good on pizza, I like regular cheese too much for that, but I bet it makes a great snack.

I eat meat and animal products regularly and I think this is interesting. If I got the chance I would happily try it, because the fact that I eat meat doesn't mean I'm going to refuse to eat anything that doesn't have animal products in it.

Past 3 months some /b/tards settled here when they realized there's an endless stream of opportunities to turn every thread into a "vegan vs meat eater" thread.

There was always some of this but lately it has gotten completely out of hand.

>> No.4409825

>>4409813
In my opinion, its not just the vegan vs meat eater threads that are problematic, overall /ck/ seems more aggressive and divided in the past few months.

Vegan vs meat eaters
Artistic vs down to earth
Fast food vs Home cooked.

And then we have all these posters that are edgy or just plain intolerant.

On the plus side there aren't as many ramen threads lately for some reason.

>> No.4409829

It only takes 1 prolific poster to completely change the tone of a slow board. Look what happens when we get a newtrip like Orange or Tetra Koiwai shitposting constantly. The whole place goes to hell and you only notice because the posts are marked.

It wasn't people I know personally, it was an anecdote in some thread a while back that I read which sounded like the people were pizza aficionados. Now I don't know why you hate cashews so much, but I think it's possible that cashew cheese is pretty good on a pizza. Take it easy, friend

Cashews, lemon juice, and yeast to make vegan cheese. Agar agar is an algae that can thicken things and is no weirder than gelatin
