Vegan comfort food

[fondducoeur]

scrambled tofu, tofu/veg stir fry, lentil soup, chili, or shepard's pie (probably my favorite comfort food if I feel up for preparing it)

Not sure if this counts as comfort food but lately I am snacking on popcorn every other day.

I've also had serious cravings for cornflakes too.:confused:

i'm very comforted by hobnobs

Hobnobs are vegan? This is...*wipes a tear from his eye*.. the happiest day of my life!

[ShadowTears]

Chocolate and ice cream. Even better? Chocolate ice cream!
Certainly not healthy but hey, we're talking about comfort food here!

Sorry to be the possible bearer of bad news but I sent an email to United Biscuits a few days ago asking if Hobnobs were vegan but so far no reply. (I wrote to them because Hobnobs did not come up in their "suitable for vegans" listing.)

I'm fairly sure the basic Hobnobs used to be vegan, but that they make some other varieties (chocolate?) that aren't. I wonder if it's the cross-contamination issue again, if they make more than one kind on the same line.

ETA I think anything involving toast makes good comfort food :o

Baked potato and baked beans :)

[Tofu Monkey]

My comfort food is normally something savoury and snacky that I have prepared in case of these moments. Things like Vegetable samosas, falafel of tofu wieners.

[Festered]

The broccoli and Dill soup I just made !

[Bearshark]

The trouble with this thread is that it makes me want most of the food on here!

Chocolate. That's my go-to comfort food when I'm feeling blue or it's that special time of the month. For this reason, I always have a Chocolove Raspberries in Dark Chocolate bar stashed away in the back of the cupboard.

On hot days, ice cream is what comforts me. I've been known to race out the door in the middle of a sweltering summer night in search of a container of Purely Decadent coconut milk ice cream.

Sometimes nothing but the sensation of eating something cheesy and fatty will comfort me. I'm so glad I discovered Nacho Mom's Ultimate Vegan Queso. I can stick my finger straight into the jar and eat it this way and be happy. And what a bonus—it's fat free, so I can indulge without the guilt!

at the moment, cheezecake.

[mecocat]

for me it has to be hobnobs topped with Pure cheese then topped with lashings of blackcurrent jam!!!! mmmmmmm yum:D

[Gail]

Oh, yay! HobNobs are vegan?!? Who knew?!

No reply so far from United Biscuits regarding Hobnobs so I won't be eating them.

Re honnobs, What could be in them? Milk and egg would have come up on the alergy list and honey would surely be in the ingredients?

My comfort foods are: shepherds pie, anything involving potatoes including crisps and chips, takeout curry with popadoms, homemade korma with naan, alpro chocolate soya milk, date slice, plamil chocolate spread sandwich, and the newly discovered, amazingly delicious, moo free chocolate :D

[Lara_Hastings]

Spagetti with soycrumble sauce and lots and lots of ketchup! This makes me really bloated though as I overeat so easily with pasta.

I love that, I just found it not too long ago and love it! Though I admit I like to use it as a dip for tortilla chips. :)

^^I just saw that stuff for the first time on an online store yesterday. It is actually good? I was skeptical, but now I want to try some!

[mecocat]

i'm pretty sure there's no milk eggs or honey in hobnobs!

I think that there must be something about Hobnobs that makes them unsuitable for vegans, otherwise United Biscuits would have surely put them in the "suitable for vegans listing"? They did put McVities ginger biscuits in that listing. Sorry folks.

I love dunking ginger biscuits both for the taste and because there's less brown sludge when you get to the bottom of the cup/mug.

Not sure why HobNobs are not on UB's suitable for vegans listing. It could be a possible cross-contamination issue but if they won't get back to me then I can't know. Sod 'em.:(

[HotSquirrel]

it's a toss-up between casserole with dumplings OR Redwood sausage, mash, greens & onion gravy... oh & apple & blackberry crumble & custard for pud mmm!

I love dunking ginger nut biscuits in fruit tea- it makes them taste like crumble!
