substitutions

[befsquire]

i know there has to be a lot of things out there where you can substitute one ingredient for another and you can't tell the difference. but, i think i only know one.

when baking, you can substitute applesauce for oil.

i've never substituted applesauce for eggs; my mind can't make the leap to "if it works with oil, it could work with eggs." no time adjustment necessary with oil though.

gelatin - agar agar. it's a seaweed flake product that you can actually mix with hot juice and make your own jell-o type stuff. works well in desserts too.

ener-g and wonderslim are both awesome egg replacers for baking.

plain unsweetened soymilk works well in almost any recipe calling for cow's milk.

you get to learn a lot of these things when you go veg...

You know, I think Wayne Rooney will come on as a surprise substitution in one of the early games. He seems to be healthy now, and maybe even coming on in the group stages for a few minutes could be a possibility.

:D

Just the other day I bought some egg replacer from Orgran. It's made of potato starch, tapioca flour, vegetable gum, methylcellulose, calcium carbonate and citric acid. It's from all the way from Australia (http://www.orgran.com/images/product/S1055.jpg)...
I still haven't tried it yet, was gonna make some rhubarb pie, but haven't had time.

butter flavored cooking spray

Oh, no. No. Seriously, just use a little, uh, butter. Not some pretend chemical frankenbutter concoction. K?
