The Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York is credited with bringing us the sloppy delight known as a chicken wing. Exactly how it happened is somewhat of a mystery as there are three different versions of story. There is no mystery about the wings that are pictured on my playlist cover. The Top in Gainesville offered tempeh buffalo wings on the menu, I ordered them, loved every second it took to devour my plateful, and have tried to mimic their creation ever since. This mix is all about the sauce that dribbles down your chin, the fingers that must constantly be licked clean, the celery sticks that are served as an accompaniment and the pain you feel the following morning, when you are sitting there praying that it will go away. Its also for those moments when you curse yourself for eating spicy food that your body can't handle, vow to never do it again, only to return a few weeks later. This playlist makes the entire process (from cooking to bowel movements, from eating to vowing never again) worthwhile.Track Listing:

I'll do a quick post later including the recipe for Buffalo Tempeh Wings. Enjoy the tunes.
Can I be brutally honest with you?
ReplyDeleteI am not too fond of Hot Wings. The few that I have tried have been waaay to hot for my liking, I could barely taste them. I think it's the super-hotness accompanied by the sloppiness that turns me off. I figure if it's gonna be messy - the taste better be worth it!
Thanks for the honesty Dionne. What's the point of a food that's only aim is to burn your mouth. For some reason I have taken a liking to the hot sauce (Frank's) that I put on the tempeh. I also love everything tempeh so that helps.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try tempeh wings. Never had the chance. I love Hot Wings.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to eat more meatless meals. I bet the hot sauce covers up some of the yuk of those meatless "meats". I guess it's just a matter of time until I learn to like the taste. By the way, your meatballs were very good!
