Mr Singhs - New vegetarian takeaway in Gants Hill

[MisterrSingh]

Being a vegetarian I can attest to the affects of estrogen in soya based foods. Although I wasn't a heavy consumer of soya foods (in terms of daily consumption), I did eat a sabji made of soya mince every few weeks that may have been wonderfully tasty, but also promoted a couple of unfortunate side affects that aren't entirely conducive to a masculine image, lol. Thankfully, since completely cutting it out of my diet 5 or so years ago things on the estrogen front have been negated. Plus it use to give me kabaj but that's another matter entirely.

Don't forget that dairy contains actual estrogen. Soy contains phytoestrogens like many other foods. Maybe it's just that every body is different but I know guys on a vegan diet that experience no negative affects from soy.

I would stick to organic milk from grass fed cows if I drank it . The problems with soy is if it is soyprotein isolate it behaves differently to edamame, tofu and other fermented soy products.

I understand it :-) I personally gave up dairy a while back and my health improved considerably. Not going back even if it is organic.

Everyone has a different experience. There are lots of healthy vegan people.

Flippin' hell. Although I applaud bringing out the dangers of oestrogen producing substances, arguing like we are here seems plain nuts. 

In my opinion we do need many more places for Sikhs to eat out and socialise. Living around East London with its plethora of halal outlets makes it hard to get any food on those rare occasions we might feel like eating out. So I'm glad Sikhs are opening businesses like this. 

We NEED to create a strong robust diverse Sikh economy. Things like this helps.

I always find that for the most part, Sikhs tend to avoid going into the food/ catering industry.

It seems Muslims love going into opening the Halal Fried Chicken/ Piri Chicken outlets. So much in that, I wonder how they stay in business when one Abdul competes with Mohammed who competes with Rashid who have identikit Halal Fried/Peri Chicken joints on the same stretch of road in a matter of 50 yards.

However, when Sikhs do venture into the food industry and make a go of it, they invariaby make a fantastic success of it.

From a business perspective, if there is a gap in the market and there is a demand for it then Sikhs will make the most of it. And Sikhs being Sikhs means that they attract many Non-Sikhs as well.

If it is vegetarian food then no one does it better than we do. We have the creativity and diversity in our dishes to make it happen.

muslman go into catering because it the way to spread halal meat availablity and crowd out nonhalal ... thus part of the conversion process is surreptiously done , all you need is for them to read shajada bus you're a muslim. Don't you remember sakhi where one captured singh had his kesh cut and they did sunnat but Guru ji said did you eat their meat or touch one of their women... there was a reason. Singh said no then Guru Gobind SIngh ji it's is a good job you didn't, go for pesh and join your brothers. 

What I do not understand we come from a culture which has thousands of years of veggie cuisine , how about banking on that rather than aping unhealthy western fare?

I reckon that's it. I'm at the stage where my body tells me what's working and what isn't, and unfortunately soy was one of those things that i had to cut out.
