simmie Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Would something called a souffle (but really isn't) that uses egg whites, shredded coconut, and coconut oil be considered SWYPO? I'm the hardnosed one a lot of the times, but this one I just don't see as SWYPO..... The recipe calls for beating egg whites until stiff peaks form, folding in coconut, then placing a yolk and the whipped egg mixture in a rameking and baking. It doesn't sound SWYPO to me (my test is: does it make me want the real thing? This doesn't meet that test), but others feel it definitely is. Would appreciate feedback on this. I don't see SWYPO as being tied so strongly to the Name of something necessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britishgal Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 To me this would be swypo...I'm a pudding person! I guess my main question is how would you be eating this? How does it fit within the meal template? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmie Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Yeah, this was on a group -- and it would be satisfying part of the protein requirement. It would definitely be part of the meal template. For me....well I'm a pudding person too, and this isn't really pudding from what I can figure.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 21, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2015 A souffle can be a savory or dessert dish. It is okay as a savory dish, but not as a dessert even if all ingredients are acceptable. I think adding shredded coconut puts a souffle in the dessert category, but if you made it without coconut and maybe with some added beef, veggies, etc., it would be fine as a savory dish.

Allia Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 What about carrot or sweet potato soufflés? These are sorta sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 What about carrot or sweet potato soufflés? These are sorta sweet. Those would be ok - best served along with a protein to fit the template. Tom is referring to a dessert-type souffle, like a chocolate souffle, for example. That would be off-limits.
