The joy of soy


Special to Slashfood from AOL Health's Mary Kearl

Like many, I may claim to be adventurous about food, drinks, condiments and above all desserts, but when it comes down to it, things like flavored mayo (and mayo in general) and multi-flavored soy milk are a bit off-putting.

So this past week, when I not only tried chocolate peppermint soy milk from Vita Soy and loved it and converted three non-soy-milk drinkers into wanting to find it and buy it too, I also broke down and tried mayo on a sandwich. No, it was not a horror. It was dijon-style nayonaise, and I liked it so much, I started mixing it into baked potatoes and was even inspired to create Potato-Less "Mashed Potatoes." Yes, that's right, all you dairy-intolerant and veggie folks out there, check out this 'Tofu Tatoes recipe that is entirely dairy-free, a similar consistency to mashed potatoes and it much easier than peeling potatoes and waiting for them to boil while your tummy growls.

So here's to trying new things and sharing the soy joy with others.

This recipe sounds pretty gross and weird considering mashed potatoes are pretty easy to make dairy-free or vegan--just use olive oil or Earth Balance and soymilk. If you want to make a dish with a similar consistency that's more nutritious, you could make millet mash, which uses cauliflower and millet, or keep the skins on the potatoes.

I'm not sure why people are so grossed out by mayo. Is it the high fat content? Buy low fat. Is it the taste? Is it that people don't understand what mayo actually is? I had a recent conversation with someone who thought mayo had dairy in it! Stick to Best Foods/Hellmans products, as some other brands are nasty tasting (like Trader Joe's).
