Thanks for the feedback. From what I can tell on the web though it appears that sea spaghetti and kelp noodles are different…have I misinterpreted something? The ones I was looking at are really dark brown/green and look like a flat noodle, tagliatelli or something like that. Are we talking about the same thing? oh the confusion of exotic raw foods sometimes…:)
Sounds like kelp is a good one though so I’ll look for that over here (UK) and hopefully enjoy it as much as you both have:)
sid23, where do you get kelp noodles in Seattle? I’m in Seattle too.
cir-1976 – thanks for all the info…that clears up a lot of questions for me. From what you’ve said it sounds like kelp noodles might be the best bet for me but I’m also struggling to find them anywhere. I’m getting very familiar with the blank looks you describe! But I’m based in Edinburgh so there’s not as much variety as you have down in London so if you’ve had no luck either it seems we may be out of luck altogether for the time being. I’ll give blue dolphin site a try though and see how I get on with their stuff. Thanks for all the help:)
I would definitely be open to sharing in on a bulk load of these. I’ve been having cravings for spaghetti as I watch my SAD partner make it every few days. He eats and I watch intently…a bit like the dog who sits by the dinner table:)
Odd that you mentioned red sugar – I live just a few doors down from them. They’ve been there for months and because of the name I thought they were a normal chocolate shop/pastry shop. Never even crossed my mind that they might be raw but thankfully now I know and have been enjoying their raw chocolate treats very frequently:) But I’ll ask them next time I go in if they can source these anywhere and post what they say back here. Take care!
Mmmm pot luck sounds lovely cir…any of you based in Scotland? Perhaps I need to ingratiate myself with the good people at Red Sugar (who I only know well enough to chat to very briefly). I bet they know the ins and outs of UK rawness:)
Fee – thanks for the feedback. I always get a bit edgy about things from the sea for some reason, there’s a certain taste to it that doesn’t settle well with me (I grew up in the mountains far far from the sea). So it’s good to hear positive reactions to it. Any special way you like to prepare it? I think I’ll order some this week and test drive it so I’m wide open to suggestions here…
hey UK’ers, I know alot of others on this site might beg to differ with me about my opinion on the kelp noodles, but to be honest, I dont think youre missing out on as much as you think you are. I was pretty disappointed with them when I had them in the US. maybe i prepared them wrong or something, but I had them first at a raw foods restaurant in seattle and wasnt too keen on them and the crunchy texture. i gave them a second try at home, but just didnt find them to be as great as others thought they were….to be honest, they have a weird crunchiness that reminds me of eating cartilage or something. ick. so all im saying is dont feel too bad; you may not be missing out on as much as you think you are. i FAR prefer courgette pasta for things like pesto with sundried tomatoes and mushrooms or with avocado cheezy sauce.
