It means it contains all vegan ingredients but not on purpose. The company who made it wasn't thinking of vegans, the ingredients they used happened to be vegan.

Sorry Tigerlily, but how do you know they weren't thinking of vegans? It seems like a rather pointless distinction to make. If something is vegan, it's vegan, I don't see how the company's "intention" has any bearing on the final product. :rolleyes:

I think it's important to differentiate between the two and their intentions. The reason being, a company that has intentionally created a vegan product that has the Vegan logo is obviously not going to add milk or casein at any given time. A company that has products which are not intentionally vegan (called accidental vegan) can, will and often do change their recipes and add animal products such as milk powder, casein..etc..
Therefore, I think that a definition(accidentally vegan) for a product that is not intentionally vegan is appropriate. :)
Also, I would rather support a company that is intentionally adding vegan products to their food lines and supporting the movement by bearing the vegan logo.

I mean it's made by an omnivore company, who does not make vegan specialty foods. They happened to make a knock-off version of a popular chocolate candy. They happened to not use milk in their ingredients. When they were making it they weren't thinking, "OMG THIS IS SPECIAL VEGAN CANDY!" They were making it for the general, chocolate-eating public. The fact that they happened not to use milk is what makes it "accidentally vegan". I'm not the first person to use the term "accidentally vegan", it's used by a lot of people all over, even PETA uses it to describe mainstream products with vegan ingredients.

I'm uncomfortable with the distinction, because it makes vegan foods sound "elitist" and makes us sound even more of a minority than we already are. I feel too that it's wrong to call beans, fruits or veggies "vegan food"... they are simply food items, and those which made up the vegan diet before these speciality foods even existed.

Tigerlily

Oh jeez. :rolleyes: Why are you taking this so seriously? I'm not trying to start an argument, I wasn't trying to make vegan food seem elitist, I wasn't trying to make vegan seem like a minority. I just used a common phrase that many vegans have used before and I didn't think much about it.

:rolleyes:

This may sound strange, but try your local chemist - they're usually quite good for this sort of weird stuff (well, ours is, and I've heard this from other people).

I'm not uncomfortable with your point of view. I'm uncomfortable with how you made me seem like an evil person for suggesting a food item was "accidentally vegan".

Fiamma, "accidentally vegan" isn't a phrase that Tigerlily made up. It's a very common phrase here in North America. I guess it's like a bit of slang.

I quite like the phrase actually lol.

Anyway Tigerlily - I accidentally bought 4 boxes of those things tonight :D :D :D :D They'd better taste good!!!! :D :D

Tigerlily

They do taste good! I'm going to buy more tomorrow. I think they only sell them around Christmas time, so I'll stock up!

B: Three cups of coffee, oatmeal, toast with Earth Balance spread, and orange juice.
L: Banana and vegannaise sandwich, blue corn chips, black rice Thai salad, Knutzen's cherry cola Spritzer.
D: Green salad with a Seeds of Change dressing, fried Garden Tempeh, stuffed portobella mushroom, french bread. Dessert was the almond and pecan soy ice cream by Turtle Mountain. I used veganrella for the mushroom and it was better than the other vegan cheeses I have tried.

I drained and pressed tofu and made some tofu eggless egg salad for tomorrow's lunch.

Banana and vegenaise sandwich! That sounds odd but good. Tell me more about it. I'm curious. :p

Growing up in the south, we ate some strange things sometimes. I always thought it was because we didn't have much money or it might have been a family peculiarity. We ate banana and mayo sandwiches alternating with canned pineapple and mayo sandwiches. Nothing else, just the bread, fruit and mayo. Vegannaise is so yummy that I am happy as a clam to eat my fruit sandwiches. Somehow corn chips seem to be the perfect accompaniment. They just seem to work better together.

I just read somewhere that Elvis ate fried banana and peanut butter sandwiches growing up.

My sister does too, but I think she does on the principle that it's vegan! :mad: She was saying to me when I offered her panckaes, "Are they normal or are they VEGAN?" (Finally I told her that she should be eating fruit because it's "vegan!" :p )Seriously, she can be impossible.
