Daiya Vegan Cheese: So good, I complained to my waiter

Daiya vegan cheese

Any time I see vegan quesadillas on a menu, I have to order them. They were my breakfast this morning at Rancho’s Mexican & Vegetarian Restaurant in San Diego. I became instantly suspicious when my cheese was not only delicious, but also chewy and stretchy. Everyone knows that vegan cheese does not taste and feel like that. Not possible.

I called the waiter over to ask if they had made a mistake with my order, but he said no – it was Daiya cheese. This may be old news to a lot of people, but I’d never heard of Daiya so I figured it was some “lactose-free” cheese with casein in it. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, ate my quesadillas, and hoped that I wouldn’t be puking sick later from eating cow’s milk (which I was not).

It turns out that Rancho’s knows what it’s doing. I stopped off at a little hippie food coop to see if I could find it. There it was, Daiya vegan cheese. Holy crap, it’s good. You must eat it. It’s been a super long time for me, but I’m pretty sure this is just what eating cheese used to be like. Close, at least.

Even better, it’s allergen-free for most people. From their website:

Daiya products do not contain many of the common allergens including; soy, dairy (casein or lactose), gluten, egg, peanuts, and tree nuts (excluding coconut)

    Tattoos sind schon lange keine Rarität oder ein Phänomen bestimmter sozioökonomischer Kulturen mehr.

    Von der Hausfrau über den Bankmanager bis zum
    lebensfrohen Rentner trägt inzwischen jeder diese Kunst als
    Erinnerung an eine Lebensphase, einen Urlaub, einen geliebten Mitmenschen oder einfach als Körperschmuck.
    Dabei erfreuen sich viele an den Farben und daran, dass diesen ihnen ein Leben lang erhalten bleibt.
    Nun will die EU jedoch bestimmte Farbpigmente verbieten – und damit das Leben der Tätowierer,
    wie auch der Kunden wesentlich farbloser machen. Wer sich in Deutschland tätowieren lässt,
    muss in der Regel kaum Bedenken um Hygiene haben, denn alle Tattoo-Studios
    unterliegen strengen Richtlinien und Auflagen hinsichtlich
    der Sterilisierung von Material und Nadelverwendung. Allerdings möchte die EU nun zwei Pigmente in der Ink verbieten. Das Problem dabei ist nicht nur, dass diese Farben vielen gefallen, sondern auch dass Green 7, CI 74260
    und Blue 15, CI 74160 in zwei Drittel aller weltweit verfügbaren Tattoo-Farben enthalten sind.
    Diese sind auch nicht nur in Blau- und Grüntönen, sondern auch in roten und pinken Nuancen. Werden Sie verbannt stehen nur noch Schwarz-, Rot-
    und Gelbtöne zur Auswahl – für einen echten Künstler mag sich dies anfühlen, als habe man ihm die Farbpalette genommen.

    Thanks a lot!
