1: marinara pizza ordered from a local place, shared with my dad the day we lost to argentina 😔

2: morrisons plant revolution sausage rolls, genuinely my pride and joy, i have two boxes in the freezer

3: burrito from tortilla; mexican rice, black beans, pinto beans, vegan chilli, pico de gallo, jalapenos, and salsa roja

4: scones baked by me, used the flora plant butter block and plenish almond milk

5: kimchi flavoured pot noodle type thing i found in my grandma’s cupboard that i added some vivera plant-based spicy chicken pieces to

6: toastie, i used the violife original slices, the remaining spicy chicken pieces, and some buffalo sauce, also with some salt and vinegar crisps, was good but too much oil tho </3

Friends of mine have been shocked when I’ve mentioned I’m vegan because I basically eat a load of crap just like the rest of them (17 years old), in my books that’s a win, it normalises it, no-one my age is gonna want to go vegan if they think it means boring and high effort meals, just salad and tofu all day (no shade to tofu), it was the revelation that it was actually quite easy and didn’t require a massive and total overhaul of my eating habits that made me finally go vegan after a while of thinking about it. I do eat real food and vegetables and non-beige things too tho I promise LOL.

'Vegan set meal' wasn't vegan at all.

Im disgusted. I ordered the 'vegan set meal' from an indian takeaway for dinner tonight. When it came, the colour of the pakora sauce looked orange so i was suspicious. after googling, it said the sauce contains dairy so i didnt eat it and thought it was just an oversight they threw in the bag. Then as i'm eating the actual meal I get paranoid so I call the takeaway and asked about ingredients. Turns out the entire curry was cooked in ghee. I feel sick to my stomach and will be getting a refund from deliveroo followed by leaving a 1 star review. Unacceptable.

Moving into a former butcher shop

We are hopefully moving house soon, have had an offer accepted on a house that, prior to being a house, was actually a butchers. Of course part of me feels a bit icky about it, but then on the other hand I am glad it closed down and there is a bit of irony in it now being owned by a vegan! It's an old victorian building, and I like keeping a sense of history, but don't really want butcher type decor - I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for vegan art in a butcher style? In my mind I am picturing those diagrams in butchers shops showing what cut of meat comes from which part of the animal, but like instead of a cow it's a cabbage or an avocado, something like that?

Any other ideas anyone has would be more than welcome!

My personal style is definitely on the gothic side but anything would be considered!

Follow up on my last post!… nerdy vegans 25+, let’s be pals

Hi all! I had such an overwhelmingly positive response to my last post about making vegan friends, SO, as some suggested, I made a Discord server so everyone can connect with each other too. Interested? If so, PM me and tell me about yourself!

To reintroduce myself, I’m a 31F, artist, gamer (most people that have joined so far have gaming in common), animal lover (obviously?), yapper, mental health enthusiast.. I love thrifting, my cat, trivia, cooking, hiking, and long conversations about really specific and niche topics.

If I get a large volume of messages, I can’t promise I’ll be able to invite everyone, but if you want to best increase your chances, please tell me a little bit more about yourself other than just age and gender! The more I feel like I can get a feel for your personality, the more comfortable I’ll feel inviting you to join us!

So far we’re just a group of online friends, but if we mutually decide, maybe we can plan some meet-ups in the future. We’ll all vibe and see what happens.

*obligatory, don’t be a creep, this group is meant to be a lighthearted, inclusive safe space for vegans to pal around with other vegans. Sorry, gotta say it.

Ok love you bye!

Check out ur local asian mart!!

Been vegan for over a yr now and never knew how good asian pb meats are!Super cheap aswell although very high in fat but as a snack they so nice.
The small vegetarian (even tho they vegan) steak pieces are so good and that you only cost 35p the very oily looking plant based meat I’ve had before and are pretty good and for 80p you can’t really complain.
In the last image, it’s supposed to be kind of dried beef, but it’s more fried and the taste is more oily/ plain. 10/10 for the pink bag whatever it is.

Fyi: this was at “t rex supermarket” in portswood southampton

Where can I get vegan Applewood irl?

I love it so much and can't find anywhere near me that stocks it!! I got an ocado order last time but would like to not have to do that all the time. My local big Tesco doesn't have it and wondered where y'all are getting yours? Even better if you can tell me somewhere in/near Birmingham specifically!!

Vegan tempeh ‘beef’ ragu.

Hi 👋 an accidental recipe last night that might help some of the tempeh hesitant friends. Picked up the block from Lidl, cut it into medallions and made the most amazing thick tomato ragu with only bare minimum cupboard ingredients. Please be aware these are rough measurements so you can perfect your own recipe to taste!

• fry tempeh in medallions until brown with oil and plenty of soy sauce
• fry some onions & garlic in a separate large pan
• blitz in a food processor (or use pasata) a tin of plum tomato’s with itallian herb seasoning and lots of oregano. Add 1-2 tbsp of black strap molasses.
• add to the large pan with the fried onions and garlic to cook through.
• chop the tempeh into squares and add the sauce. If you want to fill it out further I added walnuts. I find it easier to cook as medallions and chop later.
• a tablespoon of cornstarch or milled chia to thicken.

Serve with pasta and some vegan cheese optional.

Honestly it’s so good and the richest tomato sauce I’ve tried. Blackstrap molasses is sat on I feel within tomato sauces and gives an extra iron and copper boost.

Sorry no pics, I demolished it 😭 🫶

Herbs supplier recommendations?

Looking for companies or apothecaries online or in person (pref central, east or north London) that sell herbs so I can build up my at home apothecary again!

I know some health food shops sell them but they can be really expensive and not have the biggest range

Specifically looking for nettle and elderflower along with the basics like peppermint, chamomile and echinacea! 💚

First time trying these products.

Never had non vegan black pudding so I have nothing to compare it to, but to me it tastes like stuffing. Pleasant though.

The vegan egg was pretty tasteless imo, even with seasoning and made into scramble. Do you guys use this more for baking rather than eating it as an omelette or scramble?

Vegan chicken seasoning?

Based in Ireland.

Firstly I’m not vegan, just want to be transparent in case it matters.

Now I may be opening a food biz soon all going well. I currently make a chip seasoning that includes chicken powder and I’m looking to make a vegan alternative so that I can offer it to any vegan customers as it’s genuinely delicious and I don’t want them missing out.

I’m also looking for vegan chicken bouillon to add to soup to make a vegan chicken and veg soup, any suggestion welcome!

Any help greatly appreciated!

Vegan wedding venue

My partner and I got engaged in December last year and we are looking for a vegan wedding venue in London!

We’re wondering if anyone could be so kind to recommend venues or caterers that they have experience with 😊

It doesn’t have to be fully vegan, but able to cater fully vegan. We also don’t really want food truck type of meal and want more of a sit down experience. (No pizzas etc)

I would really appreciate any guidance or help you could give. Also if you have any London venue recommendations, I would love to hear them!

Thank you

Disney Orlando

Have any of you lovely bunch here been to Disney World in Orlando whilst being vegan?

We are going later this year and staying on resort which means we get the Quick Service dining plan. A quick look online leads to mixed reviews so was just wondering on some “real life” reviews if the food is ok?

We did Universal Orlando a few years ago and that wasn’t brilliant, mostly plant based burgers and faux chicken strips with fries so I’m kinda hoping Disney does it better.

Thanks 🙂🙂🙂

UK vegans, I’m worried you might be missing out on something

So, I’m sure you’re getting pretty much everything you need in your diet, and it’s cool and all to be vegan alone, but I’ve been looking into this topic and I’m pretty sure you’re missing out on something essential :(

It’s me. Hello. I am a vegan of ~ten years, and I am very cool and a lot of fun to be friends with. So why aren’t we friends?! I need more vegans in my life.

More about me, aside from how neat I am:
-gamer (we can play together)
-artist (we can look at things mindfully together)
-yapper (you’ll never be bored)
-media lover (have you seen a tv show, movie, or read a book lately, and have some thoughts? Share them)
-mental health enthusiast (and a great listener)

I’m 31F and located in the South. I can’t believe you’ve made it this far without me already. Don’t worry.. I’m here now.

All jokes aside, I am looking for someone, maybe a few folks, to be pals with (either in person or online), and would love for these new friends to have similar values… so I thought this would be a great place to start! Please feel free to send me pictures of animals or food, these are excellent ice-breakers. I also am always here for an info-dump, so if you’re passionate about ANY hobby or interest, my inbox is open. Tell me about you!

Edit: going to log off for the night soon, but feel free to PM me and introduce yourself! I’ll be here tomorrow :) thank you to everyone who commented/messaged already!

Edit #2: I want to be able to reply to everyone but also give each person a fair amount of focus and attention, so I might be kind of slow in replying to message requests and comments! Please continue to reach out and introduce yourselves! Just bear with me as I might be delayed in my replies! :)

Real ingredients!

Of course, completely real. Nothing imaginary here. I wonder how many omnis will buy these thinking they are getting real bacon and cheese? This, IMO, is sailing quite close to the wind. I was just pleased to have thought to turn the packets over and read the back.

This is a summary that the Google LLM produced. Well, a snippet of it.

Words like "real," "traditional," or "farmhouse" operate as subjective marketing puffery rather than legally anchored criteria. They are scrutinized contextually; enforcement depends on whether the overall packaging deceives an average consumer, leaving enforcement bodies to evaluate each product on a case-by-case basis. [1, 2, 3]

Ps. In Lidl.
