Thanks Pookah but I'd already been there... and it doesn't have the Golden Spur chocolates Linxie was talking about :( Still, I've just ordered lots of goodies from Animal Aid so can't complain!

I went looking for Golden spur chocs in local hotel choc - none left they had removed last few as close date:( however they did have new ones smudge - dark choc with praline soft centres - so yummy!

Got chatting with the manager - she said they are getting requests for more vegan chocs - said to tell vegan friends to email via contact page of their website - the more requests for vegan chocs the more they will make - all different types!

So get emailing;)

My current favourite uk vegan food product has got to be Green and Black's MAYA GOLD hot chocolate because it tastes like liquified Terry's chocolate orange chocolate a la vegan ;)
With love from Love.XXX.

I love that :D I prefer using 2 spoons of that, and 2 spoons of the dark green and blacks hot choc... and then putting a few pieces of the maya gold choc in as well..... *piggy* tehe.

Having been a big mac and cheese adict when I was veggie, I reckon that Shells and Chreese fills the gap. Not quite the same but still, good enough.

The new packets of panda licorice comfits are now marked suitable for vegans.:D I love these but hadn't bothered with them since turning vegan as I wasn't sure if they were vegan or not.

I just discovered this vegan cheese sauce powder:
http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/detail/471273.html (http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/detail/471273.html)
Sold in Tescos and Holland and Barrett.

I plan to have macaroni cheese this week! I had it yesterday on my veggies with some cheesley mixed in and it was weirdly cheesey (if a little like Wotsits). Anyway, it's better than the dairy style cheese sauce made from a powder - that is if my memory serves me well from back in the day; you know when there was a war on and we all gleefully ate powdered food every day! Seriously, I'm not sure if I remember what cheese tastes like at all, but it well reminded me of cheese.

Also Linda McCartney wrote to a friend of mine and listed their new quarter pounders as vegan. I checked today out of interest and they are not. It says contains milk on the back of the packet which is a big indication...

We had some Asda Meat Free Vegetarian Chicken Style Fillets the other day. They were really pretty good.

Anyone else tried them yet?

I've had them, one in a mega sandwich type scenario which was really nice, and then as part of an easy-roast yesterday. I think I like them. I bought them on a bit of a whim to make some beanburgers up to the "buy 2 for £3" thing hehe. I can't tell if they really taste like chicken or not. They're not the kind of thing I usually have, so I think that's why I enjoyed them... something different! Would I be remembering correctly if I said they have strangely few ingredients for supermarket foods? I seem to remember being surprised and impressed.

Yeah they did seem almost healthy with lots of added fibre - presumably for texture. We had them with spring greens, mash, and gravy. Deep fried in batter in a bun might be good.

may i please make a small mention of the New Covent Garden soup of the month - they're selling a special Halloween soup and unlike most of their soups, it's actually vegan! it's pumpkin and pepper, it's really yummy and a percentage of the proceeds goes to help the Bat Conservation Trust. ;)

New Covent Garden often have vegan seasonal soups - they had gazpacho this summer. Drinking soup from a pint glass at work is always good :)

eta: according to their website http://www.organix.com/Content/Food-for-Children/Where-to-Buy they're sold in lots of places - you might find them in the baby/kid section :)

Trufree advises customers to be cautious


Trufree the maker of wheat-free and gluten-free biscuits, snacks and pasta, is advising consumers with a dairy intolerance that its new custard cream biscuits now contain milk.

As part of a recent re-launch the new improved recipe for the biscuits now contains a small amount of milk.

Managing director, Chris Hook said: “The pack clearly states in the allergens box that the custard creams contain milk. However, as a precaution we have decided to add a ‘contains milk’ sticker to all our packs after a number of calls from concerned customers who have to follow a milk free diet seeking clarification.

He added: “These are our most popular biscuits and we would like to reassure our customers that we are committed to offering them delicious wheat-free and gluten-free food.”

Mr Hook continued that anyone who has bought a packet of the biscuits and is concerned should call the Trufree Careline on 07041 544 044. Trufree will be happy to offer a full refund to anyone who is unhappy with their purchase.


WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
if it's not broke, don't fix it!!! :mad:
