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.

You just heat up the tortillas on a pan and should be good, provided they are the real, good corn tortillas. Then you can put them in a basket with a clean tea towel around them to keep them warm, and you can make the tacos as you like.

Like, you can have stuff your husband can eat and you can't and he can pick different toppings.

Most places use 2 tortillas per taco, if they are the small size.

Banana leaves are even used in some places in Central America. But I was sure they were easier to get in Oz than dry corn husks :).

Yes, kangaroo tacos sound good!

I started reading up on south american cuisine and got overwhelmed by all the possibilities (today was a very brain-sapping day), so ended up giving up and making stirfry but I will definitely make them eventually :)

Can you eat fish? I recommend ceviche!

(Mexican food isn't South American, you know that right? ;))

*cough* I knew that! (I have the worst sense of geography ever, I keep looking at maps and going "Wait, Belgium has a coastline?)

Fish yes, acid no :/
