Resto Balthazar

There seems to be a misunderstanding in the world of vegetarian foods, most people have a stigma about these types of foods. Unfortunately this stigma is without merit these days, the days of reality TV and all. Today is a new day a new era and people are doing absolutely amazing things with vegetarian foods today, and the food is mouth watering delicious. The stigma or false belief is... 1. Most people believe that vegetarian foods do not have a taste to them or very little taste at all. 2. The food looks dry and visually unappealing. 3. The food does not look fresh. 4. We do not like what does not look nice or that does not have that certain appeal = no thank you I do not want that. We all grew up around certain types of foods and this helps to feed the stigma. To put it plain and simple, meat is hard to get away from; this is due to being around it so much to where you just adapt and accept; especially as a full dinner course meal. In life lots of people want to have and maintain a healthy diet but believe the ... [more..]

TRADITIONAL CUISINE OF BALI

Of the many delights Bali has to offer, the one that leaves an indelible mark on most visitors is the food. The island province offers tourists a plethora of dining options ranging from fancy fusion restaurants run by Michelin star chefs to humble road side stalls selling local delicacies. Populated mainly by ethnic Balinese people, Bali has always stood apart in terms of religion, culture and cuisine from the Javanese majority who are predominant in Indonesia. Religion and food go hand in hand in Bali - most religious ceremonies that take place in one of the island's 20,000 temples are often accompanied with the sweet smell of pork being grilled nearby. Due to being a mainly Hindu community in an overwhelmingly Muslim country, Balinese cuisine is unique to what is served in the rest of Indonesia. Pork reigns supreme in Bali, being the main ingredient in two of the island's most famous native dishes, lawar and babi guling. Balinese cuisine also tends to be spicier and less sweet than Javanese cuisine and will typically be cooked with a wider selection of sauces. As with all food in Indonesia, all dishes in Bali are served with generous helpings of rice. Visitors ... [more..]

VEGETARIAN FRIED CRUNCHY OKRA

This is a vegetarian dish. Okra is slimy. Some folks don't object to this characteristic and stewed okra with tomatoes and squash is popular with some Southerners. And as Lady goat noted in her missive to okra, it's a frequent addition to gumbo where the negative becomes a positive by adding body to the stock. Okra is also a popular pickle and, as such, is not in the least bit slimy. But okra's best incarnation is fried. Combine cracker crumbs, flour, and salt. Dip okra pieces in buttermilk mixture; dredge in cracker crumb mixture. The Crunchy okra is a vegetarian food. In a food processor finely grind crackers. In a shallow bowl whisk together cracker crumbs, flour, and salt to taste. Here you could buy a rod and reel, shotgun shells, live bait, gas from the pumps out front, and sacks of White Lily flour for making biscuits. And you could also have a great meat-and-three lunch.
