The Vegan Thread

Also, substitute that cheezely business with some proper bottom shelf cheddar and I'd destroy those beans on toast.

Really, Balky? Without bacon? It doesn't sound like you.

In the reply to my post stating, that it looks like a poor person's diet.

ahhh furry muff, should read more than the last few pages, busy trying to watch a film from my laptop on my tv = not working so surfing/trolling forumsi wouldnt usually stick my nose into....

I was jus expecting something more spectacular and healthier looking, to be honest.

Don't feed the troll. :)

Not vegan grub anyway ;o)

Beans are strong... beans dont need bacon.... Its the eggs that are weak... eggs need bacon.

Vegan carrot/banana muffin recipe:
Take bananas- let them go over ripe.
Mash- these are your 'eggs'
Add sugar, baking soda, flour, tonnes of grated carrots and a splish of water, till appropriately muffiny batter texture occurs- gooey, but not pancake, almost @ sticky dough stage....

bake for 23 mins till muffiny @ 190 ish.

yum. (non vegan)

Tasty Vegan brekkie/lunch/Dinner/snack
Soft Tofu, Rice(pre cooked and cold), green brocolli-ey veg (ideally Chinese broc) or whatever you have that you love, Mushrooms (lots!), Spice to taste.

Stir fry all ingredients till nicely softened. drain all water and reserve.
Add tofu so it forms an 'omlette'. Put all veg and rice in middle and fold.
Eat.

3 to 4 large carrots- grated- some fine, some not so fine
2/3- 1 cup of mashed banana- I tend to use more not less
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup Flour
1tsp baking soda

Make sure you have some water and some flour at hand to make the batter appropriately viscous- look online for a guide if you've never made them.
You can also chuck in some vanilla essence( a dash) and some cinnamon (1 tsp) to make it even better, and some nuts (walnuts crumbled) or some pineapple to make it more enticing....

Its a very good basal recipe and IMHO- the bananas make the resultant muffins a million times tastier than the non vegan equivalent...

It's lovely- also- check muffins @ 15 and 20 mins, as it can cook super fast!!!!

this makes around 8-10 muffins.

also as I adapted the recipe (from a friends carrot cake recipe)- I had to make it up a bit so apologies for the inaccuracy that will come with it- its well worth experimenting till you get a decent batter for a while, as the first few attempts may yield a not so great muffin.

How come this thread has been relegated to M&M after 580 posts. I thought that veganism, along with anarchism, was an essential element of today's London cyclist.

;o))

Bobbinbird, the hazelnut and almond milk is teh sex. It's mostly rice milk but the nuts make it that much creamier. Also bonsoy is great for soy milk.

So where do you buy this hazelnut and almond milk, it sounds great.

If it's anything like Horchata I'll give it a go!

I don't tend to digest dairy well so don't drink milk but off the back of this thread last night I picked up some so good oat milk and it's pretty good (it tastes like the milk you get in the bottom of your bowl after you've finished your cereal unsurprisingly enough) so think I'll try a couple more the hazelnut and almond one sounds awesome though.

Can any of you vegan chaps let me know if nut milks are any good please? I'm having to stop eating dairy products and also soy products for health reasons, so soy milk is out.

Try 'Oatly' oat milk, really nice! Never really been a fan of soy stuff, bar the chocolate flavour alpro!

Scrambled tofu with facon on toast is amazing! Cheezly on the other hand...

You're a faconger are you?
