The Vegan Thread

Mostly chains. Tibits is pretty close.

I’d say oatly (basic one even) / provitamil is better than anything alpro, I find they put stuff in it I find gives it a weird texture like thickeners etc:

Water,
Oat (8.7%),
Chicory Root Fibre,
Sunflower Oil,
Calcium (Calcium Carbonate),
Sea Salt,
Stabiliser (Gellan Gum),
Vitamins (B2, B12, D2)

Edit: it’s all about personal taste anyway, not trying to say ones better than the other

Yeah mostly chains. From memory wagas do a vegan menu now, there's also honest burger with their plant burger.

Waterloo has the Windmill, King's Head etc, pubs with some decent vegan Thai stuff.

Thanks @MCamb as well for your input, appreciate it, will try the oatly and see how people like it!

Leon's new Love burger is pretty good.

Last time I put oatly in hot coffee it curdled. Don’t know if they fixed that or that’s why they made the barista version

Oatly was 'bity' for me. It was like putting ready brek in my coffee.

I have tried every available plant based milk and the Oatly Barista is the only one where you don't need a stirrer close to hand with your cup of

Finally tried the new Hellman's mayo - much as I would like to say you're better off sticking with the dedicated vegan brands, it is excellent.

Regular oatly is fine in hot tea, and I think goes better with tea than the barrista stuff, slightly smoother mouth feel.

Been knocking up aquafaba mayo too, dead easy and tasty.

slightly smoother mouth feel

Keep talking.

FFS now this is exactly the kind of statements I did not want to hear after just making my mind up!

Oatley froths the best in my nespresso frother thingie

I've never had Alpro Oat curdle. It's not too sweet, and has a nice creamy taste. I'm always on the hunt for it @ £1 - Sainsbury's are pretty good for lower prices on non-dairy milk.

Hah. The struggle is real!

I definitely prefer oatly to alpro, although maybe my milkless palate has progressed since trying it. Someone made me a soya milk brew the other day and I really enjoyed it, when I was used to cow milk I always found soya kinda claggy and weird.

This may be of use.

Same here, but I prefer the long-life (i.e. not chilled) Organic version that's just oats, water and salt. The Barista (very stiff froth) and 'enriched' versions (also long-life x2) taste a little too doctored to me, and leave a funny taste in my mouth.

Vegan dining in the dark:

In addition, the restaurant does not advertise as vegan even though all food and drink is completely plant-based. Imagine the thousands of non-vegans having this fun experience only to discover at the end of the night that they were eating vegan food.

I guess the secret's out now ...

This was probably only a matter of time, but it's excellent all the same:
