Re: Vegan in Brussels [blog]
Thanks for posting details of your blog, Shi - it looks very good. Was interested to read that you can get seitan in Carrefour - I don't think any supermarkets have it here, yet we probably have more vegans than Belgium. Maybe other people buy it to use in oriental cooking there?
Re: Vegan in Brussels [blog]
You can buy Seitan in Intermarche (France, Portugal etc), however it's not as convenient to use as all the 'finished' vegan products we have in the UK.
Re: Vegan in Brussels [blog]
Yes, "convenience foods" are certainly convenient, although a lot of them aren't that nice IMO so there may be something to be said for seitan.
In Paris in Jan we went in a Monoprix food dept and they seemed to be selling quite a few soy-based ready meals, which I hadn't noticed before. Didn't have time to read all the packaging to see if any were vegan, but it's an interesting trend.

Thank you for visiting the blog. I have no idea who buys seitan in the supermarket because I feel that I am the only one to buy it. I suppose there is a demand, maybe it's the curiosity that leads people to try. However, it does not look good for an omnivore.

I went to Paris last year and I found some vegan products at Monoprix : Vegetables pâté, flavored soy milk, soups.
I think being vegan becomes a tendency in Paris.

Salut! J'adore Bruxelles! Je pense qu'il y a beaucoup de options pour les végétaliens en Belgique, dans les supermarchés comme Carrefour et il y ont des epiceries bios aussi. Merci pour le lien :D

Bonsoir,
Bof, pas tant de choix en Belgique par rapport à l'Angleterre. Mais nous ne sommes pas les plus mal lotis. Ce n'est pas plus mal, ça nous pousse à cuisiner davantage.
Et merci pour la visite sur le blog !
