Eh, I find vegan cheese very variable. I never seek it out but experience it relatively often. Sometimes it's tasty and chewy. Sometimes it's a bland monstrosity. I don't know why.
- rkomorn 1y agoVegan feta has the best success rate for me. Unfortunately, feta has limited applications. (I'm not vegan but I like to try vegan products anyway.)
- kulahan 1y agoIf you haven't make shakshuka yet, it's worth a shot. It's one of my favorite places to use lots and lots of feta. It's not normally vegan since it's topped with an egg, but that's easy enough to remove and forget. Eat it with toasted pita.
- rkomorn 1y agoCome on, it's 2025, no true HN user hasn't tried to make shakshuka by now. :D
- iamtedd 1y agoI don't even know how to spell shakshuka.
- rkomorn 1y agoYou don't have to! You can just say it's imported from a language that doesn't use the Latin alphabet, so there's no canonically correct way to spell it. It's probably a lie but it doesn't sound like one!
- dotancohen 1y agoThough Arabic has quite a few letters you won't find in the Latin alphabet, all the letters in the word shakshukah map perfectly to Latin letters. But put an H on the end, and quarter-pronounce it.
- rkomorn 1y agoThe spelling still had to be romanized. The Wikipedia page has three different spellings for it, though none match yours. I stand by my point.
- stevage 1y ago> feta has limited applications. Politely beg to differ.
- rkomorn 1y agoIt's not particularly sliceable, meltable, or all that edible on its own. That rules out many cheese applications for me. Then again, I'm French, so our takes on cheese may be very different! :)
- throwway120385 1y agoTry buying it brined.
- rkomorn 1y agoPretty sure I have before but... what'll that change?
