Vegetarian Star

During her visit to India for the reality TV show “Bigg Boss 4,” Pamela Anderson has fallen in love with Indian food, especially a dish called paneer tikka.

“The food here is really nice. I am a vegetarian and just ate paneer tikka, which was quite spicy,” Anderson said, according to the Times of India.

The dish involves placing pieces of spiced paneer cheese on skewers in a shish-kabob fashion. Paneer cheese, made by curdling heated milk with lemon juice or food acid, is one of the few cheeses that does not involve using rennet, a product from a calf’s stomach, in the processing, making it more suitable for stricter vegetarians.

John Robbins, best selling author and vegan activist who turned down the opportunity to run the family’s Baskin-Robbins ice cream business to campaign against consuming animal products, will host the San Francisco premier of Bold Native, a fiction film about animal rights group Animal Liberation Front.

The premier will take place this Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Red Vic Movie House in San Francisco. The San Francisco Examiner caught up with Robbins to get a few words on the film and his vegan beliefs.

SF Examiner: Why do you want to spread the film’s message?
John Robbins: Ninety-nine percent of the meat that’s eaten in this country comes from inhumane production. Good people who love their dogs or cats and who care about the world are unknowingly eating meat from systems that really are profoundly incompatible with their caring. It’s painful to confront that disconnect but unless we confront it, we can’t do anything about it

Mike Tyson has announced he’s interested in starting a brand of kosher foods.

According to the New York Post, Tyson has been in talks with Moshe Malamud of the Franklin Mint about his business plans. The two met at Malamud’s favorite kosher eatery, Solo, on New York’s Madison Avenue, while Tyson dined on mushroom soup and mixed vegetables. A representative for Solo said the two discussed the concept and a potential name, but nothing is finalized.

Tyson has been making headlines in the news for his switch to a completely vegan diet. Is it possible for him to combine his two interests in one eatery? Of course! At chabad.org, Rabbi Eliezer Posner writes, “A vegan restaurant would not have a hard time getting kosher certification…It is certainly much easier for a vegan eatery to receive and maintain kosher certification. If your neighborhood has a kosher consumer base, perhaps ask the restaurant management to consider this not-so-difficult option which could increase its clientele.”

The Cleveland Show chose to make fun of vegans during an episode where Cleveland and some friends have a backyard barbecue. The character who Seth McFarlane created a spin-off episode from “Family Guy” from encounters a stereotypical new-age, hippie vegan offering grilled fake meat.

“Alright, not-dogs and sham-burgers are ready,” the man announces while handing Cleveland a sandwich. “Hey, bro, you want some fakon on that?”

Cleveland slams the man’s hand on the grill and says, “Smell that? That’s meat burning” and gets the vegan to say “That smells so good.”

Although Thanksgiving and winter time aren’t usually the times for barbecue, if you’re planning to throw one or attend one for mixed eaters, it can successfully be done without anyone suffering from 1st degree burns.

First, you can check out some suggested grilled vegetables and salad recipes from Laist.

Curry Tofu Egg-Less Salad

The staples of a vegan egg salad are easy to get down. Tofu, some vegan mayonnaise and a spice for that yellow coloring eggs give, like turmeric or curry.

Kim Barnouin, who prefers Nasoya vegan mayonnaise, chose to put curry in this vegan egg salad recipe she created that’s found in her new cookbook, “Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook.” Curry, she notes on her blog, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. This has been shown in both research and anecdotally. One doctored recalled that when his patients vacationed in India and ate the curry-rich dishes popular in the region, their arthritic pain decreased.
