• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

The CookingBites recipe challenge: chickpeas (garbanzo beans)

So I have a few ideas.. and then I ruled out anything that's been done this year which left me scratching my head...

Next Challenge Ingredient

  • Total voters
    5
  • Poll closed .


So please give need an idea on what you'd like, tick as many or as few items as you'd like and I'll pick the winner from there (I'm useless at picking things other people eat, hence the poll).
 
Can't get okra here, can't get dried dates.
Is yogurt included veg/veg proteins (or be included)?

we had a yoghurt comp relatively recently (as in 2022) and I was thinking more of 'meat/fish' replacements when I stated vegan/vegetarain proteins, so tofu, tempeh, seiten, quorn, soy protein (TVP) or any fake "meat"

I am surprised you can't get dates. they are sold in almost every supermarket I have been into in most countries I have been to.

No doubting you, as I know grocery stores can be very inconsistent regionally, but I wonder if they’re just stocked somewhere you’d not expect.

Kroger here stocks dates in three, yes three, places in the store. There are dates stocked in a small aisle of jarred foods in Produce (along with sun-dried tomatoes and some packaged nuts 🤷‍♂️), then there are some other dates in the dried fruits aisle, alongside the prunes, raisins, etc, and if that weren’t enough, there’s a third type of date for sale in the natural foods aisle (along with some other nuts!).
