記事内容と関係ないですが、最近Tom Cruiseにはまってます。
超陽キャなのにストイックでコミュ障っぽいとこがたまらなく可愛いなと。
アミハマやカヴィルさんと合わせて、たまに関連芸能記事読もうと思います。

で、ストイックなとこを見習って食事制限ゆるく始めたので飢えまくり→料理記事を読むことで発散　という循環が発生してます。ふふ。

eccentricity

意味　[C][通例-ties]奇行, 奇癖, 風変わりな癖 [行動].

So many veggie burgers available today are built with industrial meat substitutes that it’s hard to tell them all apart. The most delicious are still made with actual vegetables, and this is what makes them shine, giving them character, eccentricities and deep flavor.

何だか良くないイメージの単語？だけど、好意的な文章だよねえ。「肉が代替物なんだからせめて一緒に挟む野菜は本物を食べたい！」ってすごく腑に落ちるわ。

marvel

意味　（よい意味で）驚くべき人 [物, 事]; 驚異 (wonder)

When a veggie burger is good, it’s a marvel of texture, often deepened with the umami of mushrooms, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, miso or kombu. Here are a few favorites in and around Los Angeles right now.

barley

意味　[U]大麦; 大麦の穀粒 (食用のほか, ビールやウイスキーの原料となる)

There are two patty options at this excellent vegan burger spot — an umami-rich vegetable patty made from barley and nuts, crisp with panko, and a more fast-food-like one made from TVP (textured vegetable protein), for those with nut and soy allergies or simply a taste for (housemade) imitation meat.

ナッツは食感よさげだなー。

leaning

意味　[複合語で]…の傾向を持った

Babette Davis runs an old-school vegan restaurant in Inglewood with a nostalgic, hippie-leaning veggie burger.

substantial

意味　(かたく)[通例[名]の前で]（数量· 規模などが）かなりの, 相当な; （満足できる程）十分な

This colorful bicycle shop and bar on the Los Angeles River in Frogtown isn’t vegan, but the housemade veggie burger is a charmer all the same. Smoky, substantial, tinted with beets, it comes on a toasted bun with a little slab of tempeh bacon and a side of waffle fries.
