Favourite vegan food products - Australia

[Mystic]

[ Spiral Foods (http://www.spiralfoods.com.au/main_frame.html) Organic Pasta Sauces are delicious - Arrabiatta, Basil & Garlic and Funghi :p

Nature's Path (http://www.naturespath.com/products/) Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal - sometimes can be hard to get :(

What are some of your favourite?

[Mystic]

I also like the vegetable creations (http://www.vegetablecreations.com) range, particularly the hot date chutney, rice balls, spinach & potato rolls and the dhal pie

The Blue Lotus (http://www.vnv.org.au/Products/MeatAlternatives.htm) Macrobiotic rice burgers (which do not contain honey like the description says) is yummy


Pitango soups (http://www.pitango.co.nz/pitango.html) are delicious - the Indian pea and vegetable soup, tomato soup, tuscany ribollita (minestrone) and pumpkin soup are all vegan

[Mystic]

Originally I started this in the Australia thread, but a couple of non-Aussies posted there too - so maybe we can all share our favourite products and that way, if we ever go abroad we know what yummy things to look for :)

Korn, feel free to delete the Aussie thread ;) ]
Hi, I split the thread into several separate ones instead (for UK, USA, Australia, France and Canada)....

[Mystic]

That's a great idea Korn :)

How could I forget sweet williams (http://sweetwilliam.com.au/products.html) soy chocolate? Especially Tangerine :p It isn't fair though, coz I am not supposed to have cocoa :(

[Mystic]

Oh and Muso mungbean and soybean chips

[Miel Miette]

I like Vitasoys Lush Chocolate soymilk. mmmmm.... and Fruccio's Dutch Chocolate Ice cream.

[Mystic]

Available in Australia are Liebers white chocolate chips which are vegan. You can buy them at Kosher supermarkets

[Mystic]

Whisk and pin (http://www.whiskandpin.com.au/shop/) make excellent muesli and dried fruit - mmmmmmm the strawberries and wild figs are particularly good - and the bircher muesli is to die for - if only it wasn't so expensive..........

[vegboy]

hi,

i really love the soy chocolate by sweet william...although it contains sugar...im trying to find out if it is not processed thru a bone char...tricky to find out but im trying my best.. they have originial, roasted almond, and tangerin flavour..they used to be $1.50 a bar at coles..but a few months back they pushed up the price to $1.75 a 50gram bar, so its not cheap. If anyone knows re their sugar, it'd be great..i just logged onto their website at www.sweetwilliam.com.au and remembered that they have another flavour called rice crackle...plus i also saw that they have a (cane) sugar free bar...i guess that's the one i'll be going for from now onwards...who cares if i dont get other flavours but at least i am not having sugar that could be process via bone char.

No Aussie sugar is bone-char processed, so Sweet Williams is okay.

I think tempah is bleyagh but yesterday went to Soul Mama's for a FUNdraiser (the fun was waiting two hours for the entree) and they served a satay tempeh which was bloody yummy. It didn't have that pasty consistency that tempeh often does (like offal - kidney *gag*) but was soft like it had been stewed in liquid peanut butter.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

And I can almost hear again after the vegan chef extrodinnaire who organised the lunch pointed the microphone she had just finished speaking through at her husbands beautiful Fender combo amplifier which it was plugged into and the resulting feedback blew out all our eardrums and probably the cone in his speaker.
Tee hee...

The Coles store on Grote St has some tofutti cheeses as well as some great vegan junk food (in the cheese/yogurt fridges there's a vegetarian section). Haven't seen tofutti cuties anywhere however.

I was also wondering if anybody knows if there is a place to buy Soylati icecream anywhere in Adelaide??

By the way - I tried that Sweet William Tangerine Chocolate when I was in Australia and Mmmmmm - it reminded me of Jaffas!! :D Yum!

The company that I work for is now importing Darrel Lea licorace into Canada. We are selling it 2 for the price of one right now. Of course I stocked up!!! We cannot keep the Mango flavour on the shelves - it sells out right away!! :D

[Imapeach]

Ok. I emailed the Soylati people and here is where you can purchase the icecream in the Adelaide area:

Foodland North Adelaide.
IGA North Adelaide
IGA City East
Coles Unley

time to go shopping!

I have seen Amy's canned soups lingering around a few Health food stores.

My boyfriend bought me the Tangerine choc the other day, and it was 'sugar free'??? It tasted the same, so "Maltitole" must be some non-sugar-form :D

[Mystic]

Yes, some genious has FINALLY come up with a formula that represents Australia's most missed when overseas products - Arnott's Tim Tams and Arnotts Mint Slices, in a cruelty free, yet still amazingly delicious form :D

Check these leda luxury biscuits (http://www.ledanutrition.com/products/products/) out and get your hands on it ASAP
