Re: Pictures of good vegan food (5)
according to a friend of mine it is possible to travel from England to New York state fairly easily by cargo vessel and costs about £400 each way (including food but unlikely to be vegan, though there is often the possibility of having stuff veganized and if you bring canned marinated tofu and the like you'd be set) Accommodation is apparently quite comfortable in the guest cabins too, though it takes about a week to get there.
Personally, a 7 hour flight from Heathrow to JFK has got to be better than a week in a very comfortable prison.

Re: Pictures of good vegan food (5)
I agree Bradders, I think i'll take the 7 hour flight...rather than a 7 day boat...once they make a speed boat that gets there in 7 hours I'm sorted. lol Or when apparition becomes possible.

You weren't looking very hard ;)
There are cruise ships between the UK and US, including the QM2. There was a deal recently for £699 per person - UK to NY by air, returning by sea on QM2.
Nuff said!

Depends if you actually need prescription drugs to go anywhere near an airport or not.....

Re: Pictures of good vegan food (5)
You're just being picky ;)
My post proved that there are passenger boats operating between the UK and US, with the pricing illustrative of how cheap it can be. A quick google search only found list price of of the return trip by sea, which is around £1600.

marrers- that food looked like art!!
Are there any London-based restaurants that make dishes that look that grand? The 'fanciest' veggie restaurant I've been to is Demuths (in Bath).
Saf probably being your best bet?

Dinner tonight was pizza and garlic pizza/ bread. The above is the garlic pizza with slices of melting cheesly stuff. Olive oil with crushed garlic on a rosemary base
http://i546.photobucket.com/albums/h...osswat/006.jpg
Before I put the spinach and cheesly on. This is so I can show it to Pizza Hut to show them what an acceptable amount of toppings look like.
Olives, onions, orange peppers, sweetcorn, peas, spinach and a tomato base with mexican fajita flavouring mixed in. I pre-cooked the toppings.
http://i546.photobucket.com/albums/h...osswat/014.jpg
All cooked and chopped. Nom nom

Re: Pictures of good vegan food (5)
Why thank you. Am making it again tomorrow to cook while we are out at a group meeting. I put ketchup in with the gravy too.

Re: Pictures of good vegan food (5)

Re: Pictures of good vegan food (5)
Thanks Sunkist, BB decorated them though. They were really easy to make too and didn't use loads on ingredients.

Re: Pictures of good vegan food (5)
Delicious looking cupcakes Helen and the garlic and rosemary bread looks so good I can even smell it! :)

Re: Pictures of good vegan food (5)
I imagine it tastes similar but the fideo is probably a lot better, I've never had tinned spaghetti - yuck!
-
Re: Pictures of good vegan food (5)
Tinned spaghetti is yum! That's the second time it's been mentioned on the forum today (breakfast thread) :)
-
Re: Pictures of good vegan food (5)
I was raised on tinned spaghetti!
eta When I first ate real spaghetti as an adult I thought it was horrible, a complete disappointment! :lol: I still think of them as two different foods, a bit like white bread and really nice heavy wholemeal bread.

Thanks:) It didn't take long to make,- I just made the coleslaw using shredded red cabbage, grated carrots and onions,-and then mixed it all together with some Plamil mayonaisse and some paprika. I steamed the sweet potato and green beans .
Your pickled cabbage sounds interesting,
:)
I pickled red cabbage with green beans, peppers and chillis in pickling vinegar. It's give the vinegar a bit of a kick. I didn't soak anything in brine first so I should probably eat it within a few weeks. Looks great though.

Re: Pictures of good vegan food (5)
on the subject of Naan, is it vegan from the indian restaurants does anyone know?
-
Re: Pictures of good vegan food (5)
No, naan is usually not vegan at Indian restaurants - although making vegan naan would be simple.

imo, homemade ones are rarely light and fluffy and frequently doughy and undercooked - at my house anyway! :rollseyes_ani:

Have you tried the method i detailed? I'd agree with you if using an oven/grill, but cooking directly over a flame gives way better results - assumeably because it's a closer temperature to that in a tandoor.

True. :-) Maybe I should have written "although making the naans at Indian restaurants vegan would be simple" instead.
I googled vegan naan, and there are some recipes out there, but I haven't tried them. I posted some of the links here: Naan recipe needed.
