Beer-glazed black beans; chocolate-tofu pudding

[florafloraflora]

At the risk of sounding like a big shill, I have to share how happy I am with the vegan recipes I'm finding on Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything iPhone app. That, and my veganized version of the Everyday Buttermilk Waffles yesterday morning were a huge success. [Note on waffles: ground flax seed makes a good egg substitute if you like 'em

I go to a camping festival each year and there is a community potluck at it. The vegan table is always a bit light on food so I try to make stuff for them (I'm not vegan) that is tasty, filling, AND can be made while camping.

I think I could make the pudding ahead of time and bring it (will it keep for 2 days?) and I could totally make the beans.

Question about the beans - is all beer vegan? I ask this because I just found out that sugar isn't vegan so now I wonder what other stuff I assumed was vegan, isn't.

www.barnivore.com is a great resource (that's updated rather frequently) to find out if your beer/wine is vegan. what would make it not vegan is the isinglass some companies use to quicken the process (had to wiki it the first time i was researching this stuff :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isinglass )

:D

one handy little tidbit tho is all beers/liquor from germany IS vegan guaranteed.. due to their strict requirements on how it's all processed, no animal product is permitted. yay germany! and yay for me cuz i love the german beers the best! :D
