Cruise PV mange tout- allowed or not?

[curvygirlie]

is mange tout allowed on PV days?

I'm aware that peas are strictly forbidden, but is mange tout classed as the same?

 

[Maintainer]

They are in the book as being ok (p.319).

 

[curvygirlie]

ah yes, so it is. :thankyou:

Maybe i should actually finish reading the book. I'm only up to the recipes on pg 159, must admist I've been putting off reading the rest as he does tend to waffle a bit..

Mange Tout are the same as beans, french or runner, as the peas are the bit that are the carb so only tiny. Sugar snap I would say would be a bit different as the peas do get much bigger in them (this is from a gardening perspective) so I would avoid them.

I didn't spot that mangetout were allowed. That's excellent because I've been doing a lot of stir-fries since I came off attack. It's the only way I enjoy vegetables!

Are all the veggies in a normal stir fry mix allowed then? Starting cruise tomorrow and hadn't thought of stir frys, which I love! I guess they're allowed as they're just peppers mushrooms beansprouts, have I missed anything?

Are broccoli cauliflower and sweetcorn allowed on cruise?

 

[Poppy03]

Not sure on beansprouts but sweetcorn is a definate no, very high carb. Broccoli and cauliflower, cabbage, chinese cabbage are all good.

 

[Dub07]

Yes, and as well as Poppy's suggestions I've added celery, onions, sometimes cucumber (deseeded) or blanched carrot batons to mine (varying each time). Lots of fresh ginger, garlic & some chillies every time though. They all add to the colour and texture and it feels like a 'real meal'.
