More gluten/soy/dairy free successes

[sqbr]

Almond roulade. I made this hazelnut roulade recipe using almond meal and Orgran chocolate mousse and it was tasty. I intend on making it with hazelnuts when my family comes over this weekend. This recipe uses the egg yolk too which could be interesting.

And again, that's a soy and dairy and egg free chocolate mousse mix from Orgran. It's basically cocoa, sugar, and vegetable gum and tasted kind of funny by itself, but made a nice cake filling. Obviously it's not vegan once you put it inside meringue but there's other options :) I could only find this is health food stores.

The soy&dairy free almond dark chocolate from the Woolworths health food section, it has a name like "Artisan". One of the nicer dark chocolates I've eaten.

Corn tortillas from Coles. They're small and dry and crack fairly easily so don't suit burritos, but make a nice toasted sandwich with chicken and avocado. Searching online they're often used in a kind of mexican lasagna which could be interesting. Would probably be much tastier with cheese :/

The gluten free muesli from "Food for health life foods", bought from coles. A bit over sweet, but nice mixed with more plain cereals like Amaranth, and unlike a lot of mueslis doesn't have coconut.

Also I just encountered the idea of tamales and am intrigued.

I wanna do Tamales!
Hkneale has promised me that one day we will... but it's so hard to try and get us into the same space at the same time...

I had some for the first time next to the Zocalo (near the Aztec ruins there) a few years ago and was transported.

They don't have to be spicy, they don't have to be cheesy (at all I think) but they are SO GOOD! Wow.

Use the real corn tortillas for authentic Mexican tacos, which usually don't have cheese, just fried onions and cilantro and a squeeze of lime with whatever meat you choose.

Also, tamales are yum.

Chicken tamales are the best, also you can make sweet pineapple tamales. If you can't get the corn husks by you, a pacific islander type store should have banana leaves.

I had a (gluten-free!) tamale at the Smithsonian Museum of the Native American on the mall in Washington DC last year. All the food in their little food court was labelled with its allergens/dietary information, so it was pretty easy to wander around and find things I could eat. Very tasty :3
