It is unlikely he would be interested in a diet of cheese, butter and eggs.

It might improve his levels of B12?

no idea what you are on about

BURGER BURGER NOW

;-)

It does make you wonder what the starting point is for some peoples understanding of veganism.

She noted that the vegan foods section at most the supermarkets she uses are slowly growing (was one 'bay' now 4 etc) and when she went shopping for us yesterday, some of them were pretty empty, suggesting an increase in demand.

She (so 'we', as she's currently doing all our shopping) also only buys (where ever possible) stuff that isn't tested on animals and we have signed a petition that would require manufacturers to clearly mark any product that *was* tested on animals, so people could make a more informed choice (it's obvious why such marking isn't the current default etc). ;-(

Oh, love a burger me and the best take-away one I've had so far is the Rebel Whopper from Burger-King.

Gonna do brunch in a mo. Fried mushrooms (tiniest splash of veg oil), grilled 'sausages':

If we had something lighter for brunch (or missed it completely if we had a more muesli for breakfast), I might do a spag bol / chili (vegan mince etc) or a vegan sausage, load of frozen veg and some baked (cooled in the microwave, finished in the oven) sweet / ordinary potatoes and vegan gravy.

Or some quorn (chicken like) chunks with Dahl chickpea curry with some frozen veg and pilau rice and home made vegan flatbread. If you make too much you can leave it in the fridge and few days and re-heat it ok, no meat to go off and poison you.

Fruit salad with vegan custard for pud.

If we fancy a treat then one of my home made vegan rock cakes and a cuppa. ;-)

Or if I'm having a beer, a bag of these are very moreish:

Plus one row of vegan dark chocolate ...

BEEF BURGER NOW NOW NOW

So what you are saying is you like buying synthetic meat. Why not the real stuff? You know you like it.

It reminds me of an old colleague. He would invariably have chips at lunchtime because his wife had put in on a diet and had banned chips.

One day you'll see the light and pop into McDs or some up-market alternative for your fix of real beef.

Well have one then, who is stopping you?

Bring one here I'll even cook it for you.

Cheers, T i m

Oh, did you find a BK that has separate grills for meat and non-meat patties?

Obviously, no-one in your family has arthritis, or there would be some significant items missing from your looks-like-meat-tastes-like-meat synthetic diet.

WHY DO VEGANS HAVE TO HAVE THEIR STUFF SHAPED INTO MEAT LIKE THINGS...i DON'T GET IT....s*it

I've not looked, why, do you think I'm allergic to meat or animal fat or something?

Cheers, T i m

Why do crazy people shout on the Internet!?

A. 'They' don't, they often make their own meals from scratch do can make them how they like.

However, if you want to encourage someone to eat say a plant-based burger, 1) the easiest path is to make it look like what they know, so they won't get freaked out if it was square rather than round etc.

3) It sometimes makes it easier to incorporate in a meal if the plant-based version looks like the meat based thing. Toad-in-the-hole wouldn't look the same if the 'sausages' were cubes.

The vegan's themselves cgaf, they are just happy not to be eating eyeballs, ears, noses, gristle, cysts, bone ...

Cheers, T i m

My newsreader attributes that post to you. The best take-away burger was a Rebel Whopper.

Then I just wondered if you'd found a vegan BK.

Allergic to fat? Hope not, you've got a lot in your head by the sound of it.

Did you know that Jim has a fetish for cross-dressing?

no he didn't 'till you made it up and told him....tee hee

Then it seems switched on at least. ;-)

Yup, that was me.

No, like I said I found the Rebel Whopper burger a good take away one?

Oh, you were trying to catch me out because they cook both offerings (meat and plant-based burgers) on the same grills and you know I'm a vegan! ;-)

Like I said, I'm not allergic to eating to animal products and if my burger happens to touch a meat one or the fat from it, they aren't killing the animal for me and they don't need to to make or cook mine.

If they weren't cooking any meat burgers at the time, my burger would just be cooked in their plant oil.

I'm surprised you didn't also mention that the mayonnaise they offer to put on it isn't vegan? I don't have it of course and would go for something else (or go without) in any case as I've never really liked mayonnaise.

Aww, no that *is* funny and thanks for your input. ;-)
