The Vegan Thread

Yet another supermarket option but you can't go wrong with a Linda McCartney imo. Cheap as chips in Iceland too.

You're wrong and everyone's going to lap it up :)

Anyone taking vegan omega "fish oil" supplements?

If so any recommendations?

Cheers.

The regular sausage bean and cheese melt is somehow highly ranked amongst many people. I don’t get it myself.

I can't wait, sausages, beans and cheese are all glorious.

Never got to try any other, but so far I'm pretty happy with these.

Has anyone tried or is using Potato Milk ?

I've just ordered some of this ...

Even when congealed in a room temperature, soggy lump?

No, but I saw the article in the Guardian and am tempted for coffee and such. Interested to hear how you find it.

Just read the linked article it's interesting stuff and if they can get the price down its a smash hit. Is the reason plant milks are expensive simply because of the size of the operation?

saw the article in the Guardian

This one ?

If the barista version is as good as the Oatly barista I'll be happy.

Cheers.

That's the one!

I 've ordered 6 x 1 litre - https://wdsgroup.co.uk/product/dug-barista-potato-milk-vegan-friendly-alternative-milk-6-pack-x-1-litre/

Potatoes use about half the land it takes to grow the equivalent amount of oats.

Amazing, has anyone even posted that before? :)

has anyone even posted that before

I DAFS but couldn't find any mention - have they ?

I imagine you may have searched for 'potato milk'.

That's a good price will check it

I imagine that's the main reason. Is dairy also subsidised in the UK?

Ended up going to Yard Sale Pizza in Balham. Ordered the vegan pepperoni pizza and an ice cream sandwich for dessert. Also got the garlic&herb and bbq dips. Everything was awesome. Definitely want to go back and try the vegan bbq chicken pizza.

Is dairy also subsidised in the UK?

I was going to mention this- deffo subsidies in the uk!

This is interesting:

I'm sure people in Lewisham already know about this, but a friend has just pointed it out to me:

https://www.theplantbasestore.com/blogs/news/the-plantbase-store-officially-opened-its-next-store-in-lewisham-in-late-april

It sounds as if not all the stock is vegan ('plant-based' should mean it is, but they mention 'vegetarian' prominently, perhaps only to pull vegetarians in), but a lot of it clearly is. It's an offshoot of Longdan, as you can see in the picture.

Ah, I passed a Plantbase yesterday and noted it was next to Longdan, so wondered if they were linked. Longdan have been upping their vegan offerings for a while, this is good to see.
