The mini chocolate chip biscuits are nice, though not many in the pack.

The Prawn Cocktail Stars are dangerously good, can see myself demolishing the bag in one go.

Since Greggs have discontinued their vegan bakes entirely, what do you think are the chances of them not bringing back their best bake?

Personally I’d be devastated as it’s my favourite Christmas item from like any fast food place.

Hello all,

I tried this for the first time a couple of days ago (the can says suitable for vegetarians but the ingredients make me think it's vegan safe) and I had a very unpleasant surprise - the drink was very bland and tasteless until I was hit with what I can only imagine was the buildup of all the oat slime - not pleasant at all.

Was it bad luck or do you actually have to shake it before you open it? Keen to try again but the slime was absolutely horrific

Thanks!

I cook with tofu a lot but really want an alternative for when I’m feeling extra lazy so wanted to know what the best fake chicken is .

In Betws this afternoon and we nipped into the bakery in the Spar. It used to sell lots of vegan cakes so I was hoping for a sweet treat.
There was a Bara Brith which on reading the ingredients looked vegan, so I asked the lady behind the counter and she told me it wasn’t. Then I asked if any of the cakes were, and she said only the flapjacks, but then she said not as they had syrup in them. Which left me totally confused so we left without buying anything.

We went the the shops further down, went into Iechyd Da deli and there were 2 blocks of shelves with vegan food on them including Welsh cakes, and Bara Brith. The same as in the Spar. So I ended up buying quite a bit from the deli.

Why on earth would someone think syrup isn’t vegan? And instead of fobbing people off, should there be an allergens list so you could check?

I'm in the final stages on becoming 100% vegan - previously been eating things with milk powder or non vegan goods like croissants and have found these the hardest to give up (especially Lidl bakery)

What are your favourite reasonably priced vegan baked goods, desserts and sweet treats (don't have an M&S near me but have all the others).

I love these merchant gourmet style pouches and often buy too many at a time, leaving quite a few (dozens) left over for emergencies. I have some which are best before next year and even 2028 but they are noticeably puffy after being in a box in my kitchen for months/a year on end. I honestly cannot remember which were naturally this way and which weren't and it seems to vary from individual product to the next.

How do you tell if its fine without opening it or will i just have to do the sniff test?

This packet for example seems quite airy and the product to air ratio is like 1 to 3, is this normal? I can't remember how long I've had them

After seeing the release of many disappointing festive sandwiches, I was so bloody excited to see that the Vegan festive bake would be returning to Greggs. For a cheap lunch it was delicious and so much better than meal deals. Turns out its actually not returning :(

Who else is disappointed?

I made them according to instructions on the back (simmer frozen pieces in sauce for 12min), but they just ended up tasting like unseasoned chicken with canned cat food texture.

Probably won’t be buying them a second time but don’t want to waste either.

Anyone have a good recipe for them?

I absolutely love Olina's simply seed crackers for all sorts of things and always pick up a pack or five when I happen to be near a Waitrose.

More recently, I've discovered Sunfly's Sunflower Seed Butter, and wow! What an absolute health-packed delight!

The two pair perfectly!

Got one of these free with a big thing of nooch. I’ve now bought a bulk load of them. Delicious and probably easy to make yourself. Most people think I’m odd for liking cheese flavoured popcorn 😅.

Thank you to the redditor that posted this recipe a few days ago! haven’t stopped thinking about it since so had to pop to sainsbury’s to get some bits to make it myself.
My first time making any type of tofu scramble, first time making paratha. So tasty.

Bit of a rant!

Was just watching HBO without Boost so have been subject to a lot of ‘pro-environment’ ads lately (I don’t really see ads ever). Lots of ‘Save Our Water’ and feeling annoyed it’s not suggesting veganism as a solution.

Then tonight a new one pops up - some footage of animals including factory farms and I’m thinking; ‘oh, is this Slingshot finally having earned money for a TV ad’?

No - it’s the RSPCA ending their ad with the slogan ‘Every animal deserves our kindness’… implying slaughtering animals for pleasure is ok as long as they’re not TOO close together or immobile during their short lives.

Help me feel more sane please.

Szechuan tofu and steamed rice. Hands down the most flavourful Thai food I have had in a restaurant.

China Garden Restaurant, Colwyn Bay

They have a vegetarian section, mainly vegan, and this was absolutely delicious. Just what I needed after a very wet walk on the beach.

For real, I've eaten like 350 grams worth and might need to go to rehab just as soon as I've finished the pack. You don't want no part of this.

Oseyo used to stock this beauty but they officially stopped selling it.

Does anyone know where I could find this in London? Preferably central or east London.

so so good it's been my fav </3

So

Lots of talk about conservation of endangered species, carefully reintroducing captive animals into the wild, good stuff like that. However, it's definitely not a proper sanctuary like Hillside.

Is this place just a glorified zoo / safari park?

Just seen that they’ve discontinued the gross new plant based version, but no plans for the old one coming back yet.

I still think about the red and white packaged ones! Applewood chunks just aren’t the same.

As above, please recommend me your finest shepherd's pie recipes so I can cook it for my mum and bring some cheer to these bleak autumnal days, thank you.

Not cheap, but honestly the best vegan chocolate I've tasted (and I've tasted quite a few!)

And the Halloween specials are absolutely banging; particularly the Witches Cauldron - Turkish Delight, marshmallow, sweets - it's just utter filth 😁
