doughy? what does that mean?

P.s. I tried 2 cold and they taste mingin, like play-doh

Not cooked? But shove it in the oven for a minute to warm it up.

Well, something that lacks flavor will tend to taste like... Something else that lacks flavor.

mingin?

mingin?

google.

So anyway does anyone know whether I'm sposed to heat em up? Or is it safe to eat the other two cold?

I'm sure its safe to eat cold, otherwise they'd have a big warning on the label or something.

Not necessarilly - my snack noodles (Sainsbury's Basics version of pot noodle) don't have a warning that I must not eat em cold.

ah stuff it, I'm hungry and I think my immune system will manage O.K. if I'm not sposed to eat em cold, plus they're made completely outa non-animal substances so they should be O.K. right?

sure.

yes you can eat them without cooking and you wont get sick even if they were meant to be cooked.

if they dont have cooking directions on the packaging, they arent supposed to be cooked.

bake them on 350F for about 10-15 minutes or until they smell good and look cooked. ;)

And that packaging presumably will have cooking instructions on it. If it does not then you can safely presume you should eat them as they are.

Hmm... maybe you just haven't eaten the right... or wrong, depending on how you look at it, things yet. Like lentils. They are toxic if eaten raw.

They do have cooking instructions.

And is that true about lentils? What about other pulses/veg/nuts/fruit?

And is that true about lentils?Probably only in sufficient quantities, like most legumes.. But you wouldn't eat more than a few raw anyway, if you could help it.

Don't make assumptions about me. You have no idea whether I would eat more than a few raw or not.

Just don't eat them raw. A large serving won't get anywhere near killing you, but you'll probably get diarrhoea.

Does this mean you posted a thread here before reading the packaging?

I'd say if the pastry is hard and making a vague attempt at being golden brown, you don't need to cook them. If it's soft and greyish, you should.

For future reference, maybe.

Well the thing is, it was kinda golden brown on two of the pies, and I did read the back which had cooking instructions, so I was confused.

Freefrom -just pure air!

Nah, loads of ingredients. Still tastes like play doh

Well, fair enough. If you're not dying, they were probably ok. probably.

Most legumes? Like, say, peas? I could eat those raw all day long, with little toxic effect (there's a digestive after-effect which ... well, we won't go there). I know that raw soy beans are bad for you, something they contain blocks the body's ability to assimilate protein, or something.

They'd probably melt!

sounds doughy to me. I would say try baking one.
