The Vegan Thread

I made a Thai green curry using the recipe for this paste for dinner and it was pretty banging! Would recommend. Would also recommend toning down the garlic slightly.

whatttt never! Turn the garlic up. always.

This! Recipe calls for 1 clove, I add 1 bulb.

Trust me, I'm normally the same but I can still taste it a couple of hours later, ha ha. Maybe the other stuff just needs toning up slightly instead.

Why so little?

Get t'fuck vampires.

Asda to introduce an ‘ambient vegan aisle’ in shops. Unfortunately I don’t think that means they’ll be playing The Orb next to all of their meat free products https://www.thegrocer.co.uk/asda/asda-to-become-first-uk-retailer-to-launch-ambient-vegan-aisle/648624.article#:~:text=Product%20prices%20would%20be%20“market,risen%20275%25%20since%20last%20year.

Finally made it to Saorsa 1875 in Pitlochry for lunch right now.
Really want to stay here one day!

No idea. We got a voucher for Xmas from my bro and we’re passing thru today on our way back down to London. It’s well nice in here.

Fucking log plates can fuck off tho.

Lizzie pointed out could be a Covid ting- single use then chuck it on the fire...

It's on our list of places to go. Was looking at their hogmonay deal for my birthday but just unsure whether to book what with all this covid nonsense!

Well, we can only speak for lunch but it was delicious, the hotel looks amazing and the staff and pups were freaking wonderful.
We’re gonna come and stay next year for our anniversary.
So much good riding in the area(both on and off road) so you really can’t loose.

Quite sad really.

Any recommendations for a vegan Hot Chocolate powder?

Tried Eat Chay in Boxpark yesterday, baos were well nice. Had the fried tofu and chik’n ones.

This is the best one I've ever had but it's hotel chocolat so not cheap.

Green and Blacks one is good too and cheaper.

Doc says my B12 levels are really shit.
Think this is the first time this has happened since I'm vegetarian / vegan.
So far I never took any supplements, just eating very healthy and varied, taking care to include things like nutritional yeast, alcohol free wheat beer etc. -
whats forum consensus on supplements?
I just went and bought some B12 / folic acid stuff with high numbers as suggested by the doctor (who does not seem to be well educated on vegan diets though).

I just use the Vegan Society VEG1 supplement.

With any luck, they might send to Germany. I can't imagine there isn't some sort of German equivalent to it, though.

First of I just want to say that it’s good you had it checked.

But B12 does not come from healthy and varied eating.
B12 comes from bacteria. Because there is lots of bacteria in our soil and in our guts you can either eat dirt or feces (the bacteria that produces B12 unfortunately lives past the point in our gut where we absorb it, so it has to exit before re-entering) OR just take a supplement. You either need 500mcg a day or 2500mcg once a week.
Given you are low I’d take 500mcg twice a day for a month to boost your intake.
It’s water soluble so you can’t overdose on it.

Personally I think it’s part of being a responsible vegan. You need to have B12 under control to silence the sceptics.

You should also add 2000 units (50mcg) of Vitamin D to that, but you didn’t ask specifically for that so I won’t go into depth. It’s just a recommendation.

Sound advice.

Can anyone recommend a probiotic tablet? I used to drink biomel but it ended up being quite expensive.

Do tablets work as well?
