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 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 :/

EDIT: News article that *just* came up in my rss feed :D
