Hello lovelies I thought I’d share these yummy looking biscuits.. I’ve never been comfortable with the whole “guilt” thing over food.. I am fully aware though that people are addicted to certain foods and drinks high in unhealthy fats and refined sugars aswell as highly processed foods. However I’ve experienced some element of guilt when it comes to food until my relationship with food changed for the better.
My relationship with food has been mainly positive. My mother and aunties always spoke about how fruit and vegetables grains were good for you. They made me aware that we are what we eat. That food aswell as herbs has a medicinal effect on the body.
Coming from being raised in a Romani Gypsy family food was scarce but somewhat unprocessed as a child. As my mother made her own meals from scratch with what ingredients they could afford at the time.. The usual meat vegetables which were varied. Mum would bake her own desserts aswell as Romani dishes such as Bacon and Onion Pudding, and Joe Grey. Mum loved herbs and spices from around the world used in Spanish and Italian and Indian cuisine and in other savoury and sweet dishes. She could make wicked suet dumplings. I use vegetable suet for sweet and savoury dishes.. It is shredded plant fat in the shape of pellets like minced beef from Cow’s. I used the Atora brand.
For my international friends suet dumplings are a simple tasty comfort food usually added in stews casserole type dishes where suet helps form a dough like consistency and rolled into balls the size of golf balls. These are usually put into a lidded pot and cooking in the gravy for the last 20 minutes of cooking. These when made into a sweet dish a dessert called Spotted Dick is made with sultanas or and raisins.
Or another called Jam Roly Poly (or known as Jelly elsewhere. Jelly is a different dessert where Jam is used as a preserve in pastries aswell as sandwiches and on toast. Jelly in the UK is a gelatine and fruit flavoured water dessert that’s chilled until set) This is again put into a container or cloth them steamed. Maybe I’ll write up the recipe it’s divine with custard) suet is usually combined with flour and water.
She was later trained as a chef. I’ve changed my diet and lifestyle twice firstly I stopped eating all animal flesh cooked and prepared raw or ready to cook animal products such as ham chicken sausages and continued consuming dairy and eggs. Then I educated myself and cut out the dairy and eggs opting for a plantbased vegan diet and lifestyle. As I had already stopped buying products tested on animals in the 1980s. I took it a step further when I found out lipsticks and other beauty products contained, they were made from animal fat, to buy only vegan products made only from plants. I boycott all companies that test and pay to test their products on animals.
Although my definition of what constitutes the quoted amount of ingredients seems to be different to this recipe when I viewed it..
But this being said I was curious as to what you can make from just 2 ingredients. Although I liked the ingredients (I counted more than two) and the recipe appealed to me. It would’ve been something that I would make and eat. I like to share inspirational videos. Lastly it doesn’t mean to say that you can’t enjoy these even if I can’t eat them.. Enjoy ❤️
