I've been on a gluten free diet for four days.
How do you vegans do it. I'm having to force myself to like greggs vegan sausage rolls0 -
Greggs Vegan sausage rolls are delicious! I'm not vegan/veggie but i'd eat them happily0

Gotta agree with this, not healthy but certainly any step towards less meat consumption has to be good.Pelling1993 said:Greggs Vegan sausage rolls are delicious! I'm not vegan/veggie but i'd eat them happily

I’ve reduced my gluten by 80% (and done nothing else) and have dropped 1.5 stone in 8 weeks.smudge7946 said:I've been on a gluten free diet for four days.

I really do wish supermarkets would offer more meat-free ready meals. There's a massive market for them.1

So long as the protein is high enough and it tastes good I don't really care if it's meat or not. Morally I guess it it ticks those boxes it'd actually feel pretty good to not be meat.

Brilliant. Making it more easily and readily accessible for people will no doubt make it much more popular.Anna_Kissed said:2 -
Not a “BUTCHER” then is it?Anna_Kissed said:3 -
Indeed, it is not.
I had drafted a comment last night to say that I didn't like the use of the word 'butcher' in the context of something that has no butchery. I then decided to post the Tweet without comment and see what other Lifers thought.
I'm no drum-beater for Sainsbury's - I've complained in the past about some of its own-brand foods being mislabeled. The idea is, I think, to 'normalise' - to those who are used to visiting butchers and eating meat - the idea of alternatives to /replacements for animal parts. 'Health food' shops have been doing this for years, of course, but, to some, such places might appear to be 'off-limits' (the place of yoga devotees and Green Party types).
Times are changing and the evidence of the benefits of a plant-based diet are numerous, compelling and backed by science, medical opinion and common sense.
The meat and dairy industries cling on - and in numerous cases are reinventing themselves with the provision of animal-free products.
For those of us who have been campaigning (in my case for many years) for animal advocacy and a better offer of animal-free food, it is pleasing to see that, at long last, our efforts have defeated the 'old order' and have realised alternatives that are increasingly popular.

Little steps. No use banging on about being vegan and reducing meat consumption and then complain about something that will encourage and make what the real goal is easier and more palatable to the meat eaters. Vegan Deli wouldn't attract as much custom as Vegan butcher. Little steps.Anna_Kissed said:Indeed, it is not.

Just on the basis of the thread title.
Does anyone know of any particularly good vegan restaurants in London?
I can see one called Drury around Leicester Square.
She's from Russia and has said she doesn't eat meat. Dave2l goes the extra mile.
I'm gana feel like James Bond.

Try Purezza, it's a pizza place that specialises in vegan pizzas located in Camden. It's won awards and all sorts, haven't tried myself but it's on the list. Alternatively if you do a quick Google search mate a lot of places offer a vegan option now, even KFC have released a vegan burgerDave2l said:Just on the basis of the thread title.

Happycow is a good app for locating vegan restaurants1 -
For those that are interested I am going to start throwing stuff on this thread that I think are good meat replacements so people can get an idea. Before I went vegan my diet was quite literally meat on meat. Proper vegetable dodger so I feel I can gather what a typical eater would enjoy that is a vegan replacement. Hopefully it can help a few people who want to try and transition or try and cut down on meat5

Yeah Purezza like @Braziliance said or try Mildred’s (there’s a couple around central).Dave2l said:Just on the basis of the thread title.

First one of the day, mince meat replacement. I obviously miss the texture of chomping on spag spog and if I'm honest a veg spag spog just doesn't quite cut it, this plant based meat replacement is a gem and I would recommend anyone to give it a go.
Meatyness replacement - 8/10
Taste alone - 7/10
Taste with the sauce - 9/10
Overall fake meat rating - 8/10

Capitalism is all about choice, so all power to vegans. Although the emphasis should always be choice.0

The emphasis should be Justice. Capitalism is not an enlightened, benign entity. It has the potential to enslave and cause chaos.2

Cheers @Braziliance go no time for the preachiness of some others but will take on board what you suggest and give a tryBraziliance said:For those that are interested I am going to start throwing stuff on this thread that I think are good meat replacements so people can get an idea.

I made aubergine non-meatballs for my gf last week from the Leon vegan cookbook. They took a while but were worth the effort. I didn’t have the flax seed (must have lost it) but otherwise was fairly true to the recipe.
the recipe is at the end of this link after some extra words.

Ive recently switched from dairy milk to alternatives. Not health reasons just really dont want to drink pus and antibiotics in milk. Alpro soya milk i find good for everyday milk such as in coffee but i tried oatmilk recently and much prefered it. Its just very expensive for a family so i wondered if there is an inbetween value wise?2

Make it yourself, you'll save a loads of money and cut out so much unnecessary shite from your diet, it takes a little time to begin with but once you've got the hang of it you'll never look back.orpingtonRED said:Ive recently switched from dairy milk to alternatives.

Bread, peanut butter, jam, plant milk, *all* meals are made from scratch in my home, best decisions I've ever made. If you're not sure how to get started, YouTube is the place to go1 -
