Check out Ka sundance Durian rider and liferegenorator. They are crazy ....like NUTS but they have good fruit recipes.

LadyFenghuang · 16-06-2015 10:09AM

Especially Durian .....actually sometime he is just plain nasty!

Are you mixing up jackfruit with durian?

And yeah I find dragonfruit is basically a kiwi with a sort pear flavoured taste to it. Wonder if they taste stronger/sweeter actually where they're grown.

I am actually yes! I haven't had either ever.

I wondered that too. For my last birthday I wanted different types of fruit salad and that was in one of them. I got it from the Asian market. (You could probably get it in tesco). I have seen durian on sale there too.

Thailand is supposedly great for fruit.

I could live off apples. Especially when you put peanut butter on them!

Have you ever put apple butter on them?

LadyFenghuang · 16-06-2015 10:17AM

It feels like you are teasing the apples when you put apple butter on them....but it's good.

I am just glad we are talking about something interesting on here.

Apple butter? :eek:

Durian, that beautiful fresh smell :P

You just can't beat mango, it is heavenly. I prefer the Asian variety.

DR is an twat. Promotes himself as a health guru but yet makes videos where he is adding bags of refined sugar to smoothies as he says it's not sweet enough in Australia. Eats Pizza (without the cheese) and yet runs the raw food forum 30BananasADay.com where he spent years banning people that eat cooked food. Woodstock fruit festival banned him from attending over the refined sugar crap. A bigger hypocrite you couldn't come find online.

I made one of those Hitler videos taking the mick out of him and he threatened to sue me after YouTube refused to remove it. I see recently he has now uploaded it to his own channel and said he can't remember where he found it. Eh, try the channel you downloaded it from Harley. Apparently he makes quite a bit of cash from YouTube and so it takes it quite seriously when anyone threatens his income. Hi g/f (Freelee the Banana girl) is the most annoying woman in the universe. She has vegan dogs.

Asian market on Moore St have started selling young Thai coconuts. About time. Quite expensive though. €2.50.

I seem to just get a wave of inner well being any time I eat Pineapples. Never been sure why.

Bromelain content. It's quite high. People buy it in tablet form to take as an anti inflammatory. I love drinking fresh Pineapple Juice.

Dan the liferegenorator! Check out the serious of videos he made trying to cycle accross America on nothing but fruit. There is a clip where he goes to pick wild herbs by a wall and some woman screams out 'THAT IS NOT A TOILET!'. :-D

In the last year or so he has become more serious. He stopped wearing the robes. I was disappointed.

Great recipes. But apply some moderation and common sense.

I agree he can be plain nasty sometimes. Very few raw foodists are completely honest. To be honest I find a lot of people who say they are totally vegan all the time are not honest. Veganing is HARD ...it takes organization if you go out or or are traveling.

LadyFenghuang · 16-06-2015 10:34AM

That being said I might just be saying that because I tried cooked vegan and failed :-( I will try again though sometime.

Level 5 Vegan · 16-06-2015 10:36AM

Yeah can't say I'm a big fan of most of those YouTube personalities.

Tomato seriously underrated too, eat them all day when in places like France, Italy etc. so good.

TheBeardedLady · 16-06-2015 10:36AM

Live in Spain so have access to lots of delish fruit and I love it all but apples are still me fave. Versatile, can be eaten anywhere and come in lots of different varieties. Funnily enough, the apple variety in Ireland is far superior to Spain.

YUP! There are lots of fruits butters. I made my own once. I must try again sometime. It's a very very concentrated form of apple sauce cooked slowly with either a liquor or water it caramelizes the apples.

Have you EVER tried a burnt orange???OMG you HAVE TO TRY A BURNT ORANGE!

I know someone who has a foodie blog and has a recipe.

The blog is smorgasblog. I hope she does not mind me saying. I think there is a recipe on there. I read it sometimes. I didn't try her recipe though.

The prep altogether is a few days. It's like making jam.

LadyFenghuang · 16-06-2015 10:42AM

A burnt orange is delicious by the way. You cut it into quarters and put it in the oven...make SURE you put tinfoil over the tray the acid ruins it otherwise.

I do it in the oven...it's a roasted orange actually i think. I think some people do it differently. I don't know how though.

I forget that existed! My mam used to give us roasted grapefruit and it was lovely.

DR is just a hypocrite. He has videos on his channel from a few years back slagging off famous people that got there teeth capped, but yet now he has a brand new set of teeth himself. As does Tim VanOrden. Makes you wonder about how healthy fruit actually is if these long term vegans are having their teeth done.

Dan McDonald is too into the whole spiritual bs. Lou Corona is interesting, but keeps crying when telling his story and so comes across as not being too grounded. Doug Graham (who wrote 80/10/10) is also interesting but the whole money laundering stuff makes you think he's not legit. Dr.Robert Lockhart (70 year old raw vegan who does handwalking) another who seems very inspirational but I wonder if his backstory is as he suggest. Then there's Arnold and the raw cafe. Chap seems out of his mind, but seems harmless enough.

Of them all I would say Don Bennett and John Kohler are the ones I'd say are genuine 100% raw vegan.

LadyFenghuang · 16-06-2015 10:53AM

I wouldn't think anyone is totally 100% raw vegan. Or at least not all year round. I don't believe anyone who says they are to be honest. Or they are ill.

LadyFenghuang · 16-06-2015 10:54AM

You have to take everyone with a pinch of salt. Don't take them too seriously.

I would worry about anyone who did or thought they should.

LDN_Irish · 16-06-2015 10:54AM

I slice segments off a mango and then score that in to further segments and kind of pluck them off. Probably my fave. Pineapple is great too but I eat too much and get a sore tummy and numb mouth.

Don't buy the coconuts in Aldi, 59c is a tempting price but the milk is sour and the fruit is rancid. I've tried twice and won't go again.

anto9 · 16-06-2015 10:56AM

>>Asian market on Moore St have started selling young Thai coconuts. About time. Quite expensive though. €2.50.<<

At least they are available then.Here i pay the equivalent of 50 cent for a large ripe Coconut,delivered to the door.
Dont ask me about the price of Cheese though as its about 3 times the price in Ireland ;-(

I had one from Lidl it was fine to me.

You can buy the milk in cartons now like soya milk very cheaply.

Different people react differently though. Pay attention to your own body.

I hate bananas!

Or they soon will be. A diet purely of raw fruit and veg will give you horrible scutters.

The Asian market there is very very over priced. I don't go there much. Rarely.
