Gaining a newfound respect for the Vegans and how fucking hard it is to find decent food.
Went to Food for Friends in Brighton on sunday and had a cracking meal but even then as a vegetarian restaurant there was maybe 20% vegan options across the menu (2/10 dishes per course). I'd seen the menu online and decided in advance on some aranchini but when we got there the dish was different and contained feta so no vegan option available, by which time my stomach decided that it didn't care (particularly as this is a fairly weakly self-imposed vacation into veganism on my part).
This morning I brought my breakfast in (raw cacao cereal and cacao mylk) but ran into Waitrose and picked up a Vegetable tikka massala with a big vegan sticker on it for lunch just before starting work. It wasn't until just now I went to heat it up when I looked at the back and milk is in the ingredient list about 6 times. again for me this is more of a first world problem and of little consequence but if I was a "proper" vegan I'd have been left with no lunch.
The effort required to keep on top of this stuff particularly when shopping somewhere like a supermarket just seems exhausting.
