The Vegan Thread

That's a great idea! Endless combinations as well.

Just seen the Greggs news to the point where I checked out where the nearest one is to me at work... miles away!!!! Might have to venture into Southend at the weekend as Greggs is way too low brow for Leigh!

I have 3 within a 45 second walk of me, but only 2 of the bastards are doing them. There are another few within about 5 minutes walk.

Needing input from Ldners on which ones are doing them - also, have they stopped doing mince pies yet? Want to stock the freezer...

A friend of mine is organising this in a couple of weeks:

Yes, great for lunches, and also great for checking of a few on the daily dozen app, for those that are into that. (Everybody should be 😉)

Just nipped to greggs, not too bad at all. Maybe not as good as 2 from pound bakery, but better than 1 for 80p or whatever they charge (who would buy 1?) I'd take my normal pound bakery mix of one sausage and one veg curry as the best option if there was a branch in town, happy to have sausage and pastry based snack food nearby though.

Love Bosh's dressing which makes everything in a bowl taste better:
1tb olive oil
1tb tamari
1ts toasted sesame seed oil
Crushed garlic
Grated ginger

Got my vegan saus from the Tottenham Court road branch.

They are very good.

I gather Piers Wan*er has been moaning about them. Even more motivated to buy loads. My nearest store closes at 5.30 and I’ll not get to it before shift ends. I may have to wfh tomorrow.

That's my Friday lunch sorted!

Oh and all this chatter over the sausage rolls I'm not sure if this was mentioned...

Obligatory 'don't read the comments' warning applies.

Ah sorry I missed it!

Thought I'd pop this here, might be of use for someone.

No Greggs saus rolls in Southend... trial in London only at the mo!

There's a list on their website of branches with them in.

Although none left for today in my most local local.

None in Peckham! Humph.

Nipped back out to try the other locals, sold out at the first but success at the second. Also reminded me there's a veggie pret on the corner, and I discovered there's a taco bell down the road now too, not that I'm likely to go in there now I'm off the cheese.

what they serve probably isn't cheese anyways.
