There are those who question things, and act. And there are those who have closed minds, and ignore. Dismissed or ridiculed by the latter, some of us took it upon ourselves to beat a drum for an animal-free diet and refused to be intimidated. Over months, years, our numbers grew and grew. Veganism is now mainstream. There remains much to do. Some will rise to the task and others will snipe and remain in ignorance. I'm confident that the UK's meat and dairy industry is in irreversible decline.
Here in Broadstairs we now have a new Vegan Restaurant that does vegetarian fish and chips - no idea whats subs for fish ...
It's not vegetarian fish and chips. It's simply a vegetarian meal with absolutely no correlation to fish and chips. The only reason the handle 'fish & chips' is used is to make the un-appetising meal sound edible. Even vegetarians need the suggestion of meat or fish (whether it be vegetarian sausages, facon or other such meat based references) to sell a proportion of the foods aimed at that target market.
What sounds more appealing, vegetable cylinders or vegetarian sausages?
Actually that's pretty wide of the mark.
I've had vegan fish and chips that taste identical to fish you would get from the fish and chip shop, only difference is the texture is less of a bite and more soft. From two different places as well, one was from a vegan pub in town and the other in a Greene King. I am very critical when it comes to comparing a vegan replacement because I practically lived off meat before, but if I was to ever go back to non vegan for some bizarre reason fish wouldn't be on the agenda when I can get it vegan.
The suggestion of a meat title is also in most cases, to make a regular eater feel open to the idea of eating it and getting an idea of what it is in a way. And of course it helps a transitioning vegan.

Poached eggs, avocado and spinach bagel from brunch, with lashings of black pepper and BBQ sauce.
Wallop
Freshly ground black pepper is so great. In the middle ages it was dearer than gold. I also own a pepper grinder that doesn't break does a brilliant job and is guaranteed for life.

Please don’t take this as a pop because it isn’t, but I don’t really understand why vegan “fish and chips” is called fish and chips ? Doesn’t really help the vegan cause or entice a “real” fish and chip eater to partake. Not this one anyway. I find the same over “veggie mince”. It’s not mince because 99% of people would equate that name to mince beef, lamb etc. Why not just call it what it actually is.

I got the arsehole with a mate's husband over the weekend. We might not be friends any more after I called him a "stupid, selfish, ignorant, thick ". TBH, that's not a massive loss - she's been a mate for 30 odd years, so our friendship will survive (it survived me rattling her when I was a pissed 20 year old so this Johnny come lately hasn't a chance really, at four years of marriage)
He said he was thinking of feeding their cats a vegan diet. I only resorted to profanity and threats of violence after trying the usual common sense approach of telling him patiently that cats are obligate carnivores, that their diet absolutely requires meat (and not supplements), and that feeding them a vegan diet would make them ill and slowly kill them.
Now thinking of staging a bizarre 'animal rights' style rescue of their cats on humane grounds. Anyone want 2 neutered male tabby cats, somewhere between 3 and 5 years old?

I see the RSPCA are threatening legal action on the grounds of animal cruelty for anyone feeding their pet cats vegan food and not meat based

I'm just of the opinion that there are far more important things to be worried about than a chicken/pig/cow etc. being killed, if i got bogged down in things like that i'm not sure i could enjoy my life tbh....

There’s also those who don’t care that much.......that’s where I fit in.

Sorry about the link to the sale.
Serious question. What is the fish substitute?

Well I never.
