The Vegan Thread

just a little shout out for Thrive in Cambridge. scoffed the TLT there the other day. and overall the place was doing things right

its good innit.

yeah. totally. really sorted me out on Weds. and will be back as have to head to that town fairly frequently.

Anyone tried this https://www.ocado.com/products/m-s-vegan-chocolate-coconut-cream-liqueur-509387011

Is it the alcoholic liquid bounty bar I've always dreamed of?

Buy it, tell us...

Was never a cheese fan so wasn't something I missed but wow the cathedral city is so good. Lived up to the hype.

I'm not sure what they've done because the ingredients are the same as all the others, it's not one of the fancy cultured ones.

Have tried this twice…
… but smell
It’s awful
Fills the room with fetid rank feet stink
Sorry :(

Yeah no idea. Even melts pretty well too.

It does smell a bit, but so does actual cheese.

That could be the issue
Stinky cheese gonna stinky

It's pretty stinky but nothing compared to a brie I was gifted once for lending a Frenchman a bike whilst he worked the cheese stall at Manchester Xmas markets.

The winter market pop-up thingy in front of the town hall?
They were really good
Went when fam were at uni there which, terrifyingly now I recall is nearly a decade ago :(

One of those, yeah, polo friend who has a brother who lives local and comes over most Xmas seasons to work the markets, I should see if he's about this year actually, not for cheese though.

Was a good find but unfortunately(?) they’re now t’other side o’ moors in’t Sheffield so unlikely to drop by :(
Anyway, thread derail apologies
Recommends for vegan good things in Kelham Island area?

Where's good to eat in and around Brixton these days?

Far from exclusively vegan, but the ital menu at Negril is banging: https://negrilonline.co.uk/order-now#ital-vegan

Heard En Root are in the cinema now

Blue Moon by the cathedral was pretty good when I was up that way a few weeks ago.

What's the warmest merino alternatives sock choice out there? I need some replacements for my merino Woolie Boolie socks I've had for about 6 years which are finally wearing through on the heel and toe.

The Prendas Thermolite were recommended somewhere on the forum and if its dry are by far the best winter sock I've tried

Thanks, will give them a go

Mince pie research has led me to these bangers. The whippable cream did not whip but it tasted good. They mince pies were incredible, really short pastry and tasty filling.

Will have to get my mitts on some! I've been lagging behind in my mince pie consumption this year. Need to get my shit together.

Anyone got a fave / tried and tested seitan roast recipe to share?
