There's also Crème Fraîche, a highly orgasmic agent similar to Mascarpone. 11g fat, < 1g carb, 0 protein.
Vermont Creamery makes both of 'em, and they are friggin' fantastic:

Creme fraiche is delish! I use it as a much yummier alternative to sour cream. And if you really want the sour taste, a squirt of lemon or lime juice will get you there. Its the perfect base for a creamy salad dressing and its yummy dumped on top of some spicy beef or chicken.
No separation anxiety?
Nope, it doesn't separate or curdle, just don't heat it up and make sure you eat it up within 24-48 hours. My favorite dressing is creme fraiche, lime juice, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, chilli powder (actual dried chillis powdered, not the blended chilli powder), cumin, and ground allspice.
Wow! Sounds great. Where did you run across this?0 -
@Gallowmere1984 - If I might ask.... how long ago did you open it?
About three days ago. That being said, I did buy a small jar, because I wanted to be sure I was going to enjoy it before I went full retard on something huge that I could end up throwing away.3 -

Nevermind my previous response. It was just delayed by a couple of days. The pooping is real. My roommate is angry. This apartment smells like the inside of bloated roadkill.3 -
Never had a pooping problem with sauerkraut, or kimchi. ??? Maybe you are repopulating your gut with healthier bacteria and they aren't all ready to work on the cabbage yet, lol.1

You can try "souped up soup" from the Chaos & Pain blog spot:
John McCallums’s “Souped-up Soup”
Don’t throw out any parings from food prep. Get a plastic bag and save all of the vegetable parings, and when the bag gets full, make the soup.
Save all of the bones and scraps from your meat food prep. Store in a plastic bag in the freezer for use in your soup. Since you’re going to want to eat your soupe with every meal, however, McCallum suggests you buy soup bones from the butcher. At my local supermarket they sell for less than a buck a pound, and every dog I’ve ever met loves the *kitten* out of them as a snack, entertainment, and a way to supplement their diet.
Use a cleaver or hatchet to chop up the bones finely.
Put two quarts of water into a big soup pot.
Add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar and a tablespoon of salt. This is essential to draw out the calcium from the bones and the nutrients from the veggies. The vingear will boil off, lest you worry.
Boil for four hours.
Strain out all of the bits and pieces with a fine strainer.
The remaining stock is what you’ll use to make the soup, and McCallum claims if you just drank that you’d triple your nutrient intake.
Put the stock in a clean pot and chop up the veggies you want- he suggests carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, garlic, and turnips.
Simmer the veggies until they start to soften, then add three lbs of chicken wings, short ribs, stewing beef, or any kind of meat you like. If you want to go cheap, buy what’s onsale and use that.
Continue simmering until the meat is tender.
Take two cups of water and dissolve in as much skim milk powder as will go into solution. Stir that into the soup.
Simmer 5 minutes, then add a pound of ground beef, which will cook almost instantly.
Though he doesn’t provide the nutrition count from that, you’re looking at a soup that likely contains between 350 and 450 grams of protein that you use simply to supplement your existing meals, not to mention the incredible nutrition coming from the stock- the bones alone add 6.5 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat apiece. Made with meat that’s on sale, I cannot imagine it would cost more than $20 to make, and it would provide you with at least 8 meals or meal supplements.

This thread is making me drool... well, other than the poop talk... haha!! I just found a section at my local grocery store that has kimchi, real saurkraut and a couple other jars of stuff I didn't recognize... I bought the saurkraut and some 1 gram of carbs smokies to have this week... I think I might have to try a new one each week now... What does kimchi taste like? I've never tried it... I LOVE spicy food though... Also, homemade chipotle aioli is to DIE for... I could drizzle that *kitten* on EVERYTHING.0

I would say that Kimchi basically has it's own flavor that's difficult to compare to anything else. It's literally just spicy fermented cabbage.You can try "souped up soup" from the Chaos & Pain blog spot:

Yeah, there's a lot of really good high-cal foods spread all through Jamie's blog. I really need to start reading back through it again, now that I am running a bit of a surplus. A lot of the *kitten* was too much effort for too little consumption, over the past few years when I was maintaining with no lifting.0 -

Could it be rotting corpses from evil gut armies that were bombed by the sauerkraut?1 -

Well, Sauerkraut is of German origin, so the movie Dead Snow comes to mind.1 -
I love sauerkraut. I usually cook it with a pork roast in the crock pot.1

@Gallowmere1984 Try to find lacto-fermented sauerkraut. Your roommate will thank you.2 -
I'm sure most of you know but cooking Sauerkraut over 77 degrees does start to kill the probiotics to help feed your healthy gut. Have no fear as there are many good health benefits in kraut even without the probiotics too.
Also, if you want the probiotics, avoid the canned or jarred and buy fresh kraut in the refrigerated sections. Pasteurization kills the healthy critters too.5 -
I adore kimchi. Absolutely love the stuff.2

It might sound weird, but yesterday I was making tuna sandwiches for lunch for my boys and wanted a tuna sandwich too...so did my daughter, and she's low carb as well... We came up with the idea of a tuna "melt" of sorts...
We put two circles of grated cheddar cheese on a cookie sheet and baked them for about 6 minutes at 375 until they were bubbly and the edges were browning. Once they cooled down, we took them off the cookie tray in one big flat circle like a tortilla made of cheese. Spread on the tuna mixed with mayo, salt and pepper, and add some lettuce, roll up like a burrito!
YUM it was super tasty. Greasy, because of the cheese, and I think maybe dabbing the circle of cheese on paper towel before filling and rolling it would help, but wow! It was so good. usually I just roll things up in a romaine lettuce leaf, but this was delicious!7 -
I read the title as "Dear God, the FOOLS I am falling in love with" and clicked in all ready to read the juicy details
Oh well, I did find a few things to put on my grocery list though. 3 -

I saw some Lime & Chilli dip in the grocery store, so I just whipped up my own version at home without all the extra questionable ingredients that no one can pronounce.2 -

I bought kimchi because of this thread and now I don't know what to eat it with. LOL Suggestions? We're having BBQ'd smokies this week, so I thought I'd try it on those... any other ideas?0
