The Vegan Thread

Does it have to be black? Brooks are busy issuing vegan models for each of their leather range. They're a sort of dark grey.

By the way, are we any closer to setting up that ride yet? :)

can anyone recommend a vegan (vegetarian) restaurant that meets the following conditions:

• central london
  
• takes reservations
  
• table service
  
  

thanks!

I always recommend RASA N16 in Stoke Newington, although that may not be Central London enough for you. (Take care not to accidentally go to RASA Travancore on the other side of the street, as that's a meat restaurant.)

needs to be central x

Mestizo? http://london.mestizomx.com/

Sagar - Just off Tottenham Court Road - Great south Indian food.

Lets do this! Cant do this weekend. How about next? Plenty of time to deliberate on the route.. But Stroke Newington, Shoreditch, Waterloo, Brixton / Peckham loop? Plenty of options there Vegan wise.

Vantra Vitao. Mostly Raw / Steamed food if thats your bag

Getting a tattoo on my arm this weekend so next week sounds good. I'm pretty shit with routes so please feel free to suggest!

@noiser Mildreds is pretty good :)

Interesting..

Since it doesn't look as if we'll ever get this ride together, how about this for a dinner date?

Not too pricey and with beer. (I know the latter won't appeal to clockwork_killa and XRuSxeX.) Also @ing @itsbruce and @nickvonfiction, who I know both like Mexican food.

(Found via Fat Gay Vegan's blog: http://fatgayvegan.com/2015/08/27/mexican-food-and-beer/)

Two dates available, Friday 4th and Saturday 5th. At Look Mum Mare Street.

Hi all, just wondered if anyone had any recommendations for building muscle/weight as a vegan? I've had a search of the thread and couldn't see much. I've always struggled to maintain weight when training hard, but this has never really bothered me as weight loss has generally been beneficial for the events I've been racing. I fancy moving to shorter distance races next season and want to build muscle and weight in the gym through the winter - just wondered if anyone had any recommendations on protein supplements or general diet changes? Any pointers really appreciated, thanks!

Vegan Gains - You tube. Hope your not sensitive.

Thanks for the link, who knew vegan weightlifting was such srs bzniss!

With Patrik Baboumian and Mr Universe Barny Du Plessis - now vegan - its got some more attention in that world!

Don't look at Vegan Gains, the guy's a fuckin' douche of the highest order!

massive choice of vegan pizza at Fed in Dalston. not cheap despite the backpacker feel to the place but boy do their pizzas come fully loaded.

and a quick shout out to the Duke of Edinburgh in Brixton who had a couple of vegan options on the menu.

Checking antiperspirants today and didn't spot any obviously labelled as vegan. Anyone know which are (if any)?

As far as I know you don't have (the drugstore) "dm" in the UK; but maybe some of your drugstores sell the brands "Alverde" and "Balea" as well - they do vegan shower gels, body lotions, antiperspirants etc.

Going to be in New York for 4 days - any suggestions for good vegan places? Probably going to be based in Green Point but likely to travel...
