Is it sad that I am Canadian and the only words I recognize are avec and L'Ouest and of course the names of Cities. When I first read this thread I assumed the OP was talking about nutritional yeast but I wasn't sure and I wasn't brave enough to ask.

Haha, no I dont think it's sad, I think it's pretty standard actually.  You can spend your whole life living in Montreal and not know a word of french and you would be fine.  Any language is a great language, in my opinion.

BTW, where do you find nutritional yeast?  Should I be able to find it at the health food store?  And I thought I heard someone mention something about it and Vit. B12.  The lady at the hfs told me I should take supplements because of the veg*n thing.  Does anyone know about this?

You should be able to find it at a health food store/bulk bins of market. If you are L/O vegetarian, you should not have any issue getting B12, especially if you eat eggs. Those of us eating a plant based diet must make sure to eat B12 fortified foods/supplements. Lots of nut. yeast contains B12, but some does not.

... et puis depuis mon arrivé aux USA je les vois s'appeler des français.

pourquoi ça ?

I know, right? I've been more aware of that fact since a couple of years. C'Est peut-être pour faire référence à nos racines?  ;) Me, I consider myself Acadian, it's easier. ;)b

ETA : And oh yeah, I love NY, however, I wonder how long it can keep in the cupboard. Does it have an expiration date? I keep it in a tight sealed plastic container.

Dans la tele français les franco-canadiens ce sont des quebecois. La bas je crois qu'on s'appelle "français" pour pas confondre avec les "anglais" (les anglo-canadiens.) What they do about the Irish Canadians I'm sure I don't know... :-D :-D

So can you use it as a cheese substitute?  Like for lasagna or pizza?  Whats the texture like I wonder...you guys said it comes in flakes but what about when its heated or baked with something, is it close to cheese texture?  I have to go to the health food store tomorow and try to find some.

You can thicken your nooch sauce with some arrowroot for a strangely gooey cheesy texture, if you like. I usually do.

A big splash of oil, warmed up over medium-low heat. Add enough nooch to soak it up, and a spoonful of arrowroot (or flour, or cornstarch). Whisk/stir it a bit until it begins to smell toasty (being careful not to burn it), then pour in some soy milk. Keep whisking while it thickens, and add more liquid until it's the consistency you like. Optionally, throw in some salt/pepper/garlic/mustard/onion/ketchup etc. ;)b

l2a has a really good recipe on here for EEZ ZEE Cheezy grilled cheeze too.  just keep looking at recipes on here and other vegan sites - you'll keep on seeing it pop up, especially in mac & cheese recipes.

Thanks for your nooch tip Heli! I always somehow think maybe I'm doing the nooch sauce wrong in the back of my head...don't know why. This clears things up for me thanks!

Yr welcome! That's just my own peculiar way of making uncheeze sauces. If the nooch is good, the toasting can make it amazingly cheezy. I hope it works for you.

Yes, I'll definitely try toasting the nooch first.... I think that will add some more rich nutty flavor!

Yes, thanks for the tips everyone.  I definately didnt think it would be this versatile... I guess I'll just have to pick a recipe and try it!
