Re: Packed lunch
I like cooked tofu pieces (those marinated ginger ones) in pitta with salad and houmas loads of grated carrot. I also toast sunflower seeds on a frying pan and coat them in tamari and sprinkle them on too. Tofu is so good in sandwiches as its satisfying and you feel like you've had a good meal.

Actually I remember trying those tofu pieces in pitta last year, but the pitta kept falling apart. :confused: I guess I was putting too much in, or the pittas were too small.
Falafel sounds good - it is damn tasty and very filling.

Re: Packed lunch
Yeah, if the pita gets wet it falls apart. You can bring the pita stuffings in a sperate container and take the pita pocket in a bag, and when it's time to eat, stuff it. (As opposed to stuffing it in the morning and letting it sit all day in the pocket)

Re: Packed lunch
I love sandwiches! I eat at least one every day. I have peanut butter, or homemade hummous with cos lettuce, tomato and/or beetroot and brocoli sprouts, or soft "cheese" spread, or homemade beeny pate. I cut huge "doorsteps" of homemade (well, breadmaker!) bread. If you make your own bread, add whole-meal or spelt flour to white, you can also add seeds such as sesame, poppy and pumpkin.

Re: Packed lunch
My fave is the good old falafel & houmous on pitta bread or in a wrap
Yummy yummy

Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
If I have stir fry I mix the left over brown rice and veg together and put loads of tamari on it and stick it in the fridge then its like a rice salad for my lunch at work the next day. I like cold pasta and tomato and veg sauce too and wholemeal pasta really fills you up at lunchtime too. I get so sick of sandwiches...
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
I used to love the peanut butter from the health food shop (the one they put through the grinder while you watch) on bread, or with banana on bread...until I cut out peanuts *sob*
I also LOVE LOVE LOVE vegemite on a sandwhich. Nothing beats it. Although it's just not the same since I cut out my vegan margarine.
Plus, Vegemite is a rich source of B vitamins!! :)

Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
Why did you cut out peanuts?
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
Oh I read something on a raw food site, I can't remember the exact detail but because they give so many people food allergies and they are cooked nuts I decided to discard them. When I eat peanut butter it makes me break out too.

Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
My favourite sandwich has to be avocado, tomato and spinach, maybe also with vegannaise or houmous if I'm feeling decadent. Otherwise it has to be peanut butter and either jam, banana or dried apricots. *drools*
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
Oh yeah, avocado rocks. We go with avocado, roasted red peppers and either grainy mustard or black olive tapenade as a spread. Why didn't I pack that for lunch???
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
Lettuce, tomato, sweetcorn and peppers i just love the taste :)
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?

-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?

if you wanted to you could, but I doubt it would be at all appetising. If you want lentils in a spread you could do an internet search for recipes for it.
Wht not try making hummus instead, lentils and chick peas are nutritionally similar and there are loads of hummus recipes out there!

Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
How sad am I? I just read my own post without realising, while thinking oooh that sounds soooo good! I've inspired myself to make a sandwich.

From the uk Vegan Society,50 sandwich suggestions with something for everyone to enjoy:
14. Bagpipe Bun – vegan haggis, Piccalilli and salad
WOW! a lot of these sandwiches look sooooo good! However.........vegan haggis? i thought haggis was a good enough reason in itself to go veggie.

Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
Marmalade (vegan) on wholegrain toast..... Mmm, reminds me of when I was a kid and my mum made me breakfast. Now I have to make my own..... sob sob!
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
Im still putting loads of garlic in toasted fake cheese sandwiches. I must pong.
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
spinach, cheating ham, salsa and tomato..
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
Red peppers, lettuce, tomato, and sweetcorn just love the sweet combination of taste xx try one and see :)
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
That does sound nice Bobillydylan. How about Fake cheese, hummous and fresh coriander? I had that again today. Very nice.
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
it is tabitha i like hummous to, but im not a lover of fake cheese..i know i shouldnt say this but even when i was into dairy products i hated cheese! couldnt stand the taste. I will have to check out the fresh coriander though thankyou :)
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
Im not mad crazy on fake cheese either, but in my meat eating days cheese was my "thing", so I suppose I need the fix. I have to disguise it very well. I love coriander at the moment.
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
Has anyone ever tried rice cheese slices, they're not too bad, but you need something else in the sandwich to spice it up.
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
they sell them in my local health food shop, but these have dairy in them....seems bit of a contradiciton to me that! but they do.:(i did try them once before i realised, and yes i liked them...grr...lol
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
Yes the rice cheese slices here have that casein milk protein in them:(
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
I've found one brand of truly vegan cheese.. and i believe it was called "vegan cheese".. it was rrealllly good.. but other than that brand [which of course, just HAS to be on the other side of town now that i am car-less :(] all the other faux cheese i've come across either have casein in them or lactic acid. Thumbs down!
-
Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
I like making tofurky sandwitches and putting alot of acocado in it.

Being car-less (or car-free) is one of the best things we can do to help save our beautiful planet and get and keep ourselves fit. It is also more sociable as we are not cocooned in our little (or not so little in some cases) metal boxes. Also fewer small creatures killed on the windscreen and under the tyres.
Anyyne else without our own car other than me and TAB? Can we have a separate thread on our transport styles?

There is one already. From memory, it's called "What kind of car do you drive (if any)" or something like that.

Re: Favourite sandwich filling/bread spread?
banana!!
fortunately that has always been my favourite as its the only sandwich from my meateating days that is vegan (egg mayo, tuna mayo, chicken and stuffing)
favourite vegan fillings: fake chicken fillets
also good - fake sausages, burgers, beanie burgers, mexican bean burgers, falafel and hommous (cant remember how you spell hommous!)
