I will immediately confess - I am not a vegan... not even a vegetarian, but this food-advice is applicable even to vegans (I enjoyed the dish with a can of sardines).

It is about colour in food.

If you take one part chopped kale, one part chopped red cabbage and one part potatoes, and boil it together to a sort of mash (the seasoning is secret), the mixing of the bluish violet of the red Cabbage and the green of the kale will make what is best described as a dirty purple. To this the potatoes add a matt and gritty texture... Looking like this:


Yes, the lens misted a bit

It was actually not unpleasant - fine taste - but my youngest daughter had to leave the room.

Your food looks very tasty, i have been a vegan for almost 15 years, it was a struggle to start with as i had no idea what to eat, now i don't even miss meat. Great idea adding the sardines to suit your taste.

My daughter did not find the looks of my food tasty, but opinions differ :) I experiment with local vegetables these days. I find it somewhat a waste to transport food from the other end of the world - but as I live in the North there is not much fresh plant-food available from around October-November. Kale is the only vegetable that can manage temperatures below 0℃ so I eat that a lot.

We are used to certain colours in our food. It can feel odd if it doesn't match expectations. I'm up for trying anything, but I just don't eat meat

This one should be allowed for everyone :)

I eat a little differently these days as the antibiotics I had in the early summer to cure the pneumonia practically destroyed each and every bacteria in my body including the once that are supposed to be there. So the last two month I have tried a diet that has been scientifically tested. All it does is reducing hard-to-digest sugars from milk, fruit, grain and vegetables to spare the stomach.

Sadly that means a lot of healthy things too, like Danish wholemeal ryebread which is a cornerstone in the Danish diet. And to compensate for the sudden lack of dietary fiber and healthy minerals I have experimented with substitutes. Kale for instance.

I think the food is very tasty.

It was!

Loved your post.Very nice @katharsisdrill
