Splurging once in a blue moon is not a sin. I will not go to hell for it. I will go to hell for finding wildly inappropriate things hysterically funny.

Did you just say we can drink Blue Moon and sin? I'm in.

I love irony.

Responder: WOW! I wish I had the time to look that good.
Poster:That is ironic to say sitting at a computer posting on forums all day.

I hate when people steal names of food and TRY AND GIVE IT A BRAND NEW NAME like burritos... breakfast wrap, no thats a breakfast burrito.. if you put cold ham and cheese in a flour tortilla shell its not a "wrap" its just a really weird disgusting faux burrito... thank you continue the thread please lmaooo

um, if being wrapped in a tortilla was the prerequisite for being a burrito, 1/2 of all mexican foods are burritos.

what about an enchilada, no thats a baked burrito.
what about fajitas
what about soft shell tacos

if its a burrito it needs to have burrito fillings. otherwise its a wrap. just like people (in australia anyway) have taken to calling every flavour of chicken on a stick a (satay). NO, SATAY IS A SPICY PEANUT SAUCE, NOT THE FACT THAT IT IS ON A STICK!!!!

lmaoooo point 1 its all mexican food.. point 2 there is so many points i can make that I wont cause its pontless to argue over a burrito... burrito is like the generic word for sandwich... you can have a burger, a panini, a sub.. its still a sandwich no one is saying its not.. but a wrap isnt a burrito?????????????? foolish!

I'm of the opinion that

A) The world does not revolve around you (or me) so if someone wants to put buffalo sauce on cauliflower and call it a faux hot wing, they're welcome to do so. Doesn't mean I have to eat it.

and

Just because you (or I) think a bunch of "faux food" recipes might be a waste of time/money/resources/whatever your nitpick is - doesn't mean I have to create a thread to complain about it. We're all perfectly able to roll our eyes and move on to the next thread.

So, cauliflower "hot wings" recipe isn't for you? Very good. On to the next recipe.

I don't see anything wrong with Faux Food. I mean really- what DOESN'T have a faux counterpart? Diet Dr Pepper isn't Dr Pepper. But I don't consume sugar, so it's my ALTERNATIVE. I love my La Tortilla Factory low carb high fiber tortilla. Because it's low carb, is it FAUX because it isn't made of a ton of white flour? What about my kamut pasta- just because it's not semolina flour, is it faux?

I can go on for hours....

Faux Schmaux. Rock on, Fauxs!!

If that works for them, how is it hurting you???

You know what works for me? Having an occasional laugh. Joking and bonding with friends and strangers about things we believe are a bit absurd. Which is what THIS thread is about. I suppose it could have been in the Chit Chat forum, but it's also about food, so this is an appropriate place for it.

And as someone who's made many of the foods mocked in this topic, I'm laughing at myself as well.

I agree, stop the madness. I tried the Banana Pancakes. I'd love to say they were good and my life has changed forever, but no, I got banana-flavoured omelette....obviously. Not good. :ohwell:

The quasi-food recipes are the herpes of MFP…there is an outbreak almost daily.

Yes, those sound distasteful, but not everyone can eat gluten... just saying.

So yea, some of my substitutes probably sound like quasifood to you, but I can't eat the real thing It's not about losing weight either... celiac disease sucketh.

I'm actually shocked at how many comments this thread has gotten in what an hour?

There's nothing wrong with sharing recipes on here, if we all knew how to eat healthy or what foods will work with what I don't think we will be on here.

Yes, the recipes might not taste exactly like what they masquerading as, but if people don't share different recipes then well I would be stuck with making what I usually make. Yes, some of the stuff tastes horrible and I'm stuck with eating them, but once in awhile I get a really nice recipe.

It's a free website and people can post what they like, if you see a recipe like mashed cauliflower or gluten free pizza etc skip it. I like that people try to make fast food healthy because well sometimes every once in a while the healthy version tastes much better than the fast food.

I made that banana/oats "cookie"... I was really mad I wasted 2 perfectly good bananas!! :sad:

^ this... : /.... sigh i could of had PB and bananas .. #devastated !!

Lol! I think it's hilarious how people contort themselves to replicate meals they lust after, and it all looks like a lot of work, and my inclination is generally to let a thing just be what it is, but there's def some creativity going on. I tried prune-based brownies, they weren't terrible.

Mashed up banana + egg does NOT equal a pancake…it is an omelet…a nasty, fruit-based omelet.

Whaaat? Did you try it? It sounds weird but its actually really good lol

I love brownies made with black beans myself. They come out so good, even the folks who don't need GF eat them.

So I've heard! Might give it a go next time I'm procrastinating (only time I bake). Annoying fallout is that when things turn out, I'm stuck looking at them.

I also know celiac's a pain, sorry. Anything that makes a condition like that less hellish is good by me.

But a shot of Amaretto and 151 set on fire dropped in a glass of beer and chugged REALLY does taste JUST like a Dr. Pepper.

OMG. I totally remember making those in college. A long long time ago.

I made this awesome taco once though that I"ll share with you but other than this taco I totally agree wtih you.

What I did was instead of using a corn tortilla because corn killed the Mayans and obviously all grains are fatal, I used a lettuce leaf. And then since beef is harmful because of that study by those chinese people I used clumps of cinnamon (it's really boosting on your metbolisms) but I clumped it up to really look like beef. And taco sauce is only like 10 calories if you use a syringe and just drip it on, so I added REAL TACO SAUCES and then some lettuce and omg it was just like eating a taco.

thanks add me for motivation.

lol Too funny.
