Thanks for the support everyone. I know that there is tons of support on this forum that outweighs the negativity, and that vegans are just a microcosm of society and thus there will be extremists...

Totally agree. But I will say this and then probably leave the board forever since I am sure I will be unwelcome. I have been a vegan for years and a vegetarian for many, many years before that. ...

Well my mum and late grandmother became Canadian after being here for a long time, but I"m the only one to be born and raised here.

Yep, it's the best. Whenever I go to Europe you just wave your passport-no lines. I'm the only Canadian in my family. The rest are British and German (Grandparents and up are mostly German, few...

:D :D

I swear one day I'll just get on a plane and move there (I actually almost did once-I was in London and almost didn't leave!!), that way I guess everyone will have an accent :)

My...

:)

You say bin or been? I've never even heard of 'bin' pronouncing before!!

We pronounce it as British too! I loooooove British accents though, gotta marry a Brit so I can listen to the accent all day long :p

After reading through this thread again, I don't even know what's American and Canadian half the time, except of course for the obvious cultural ones like toque and zed :) .

Although, I've heard...

Freckles-I've read through lots of the forums and I have found on occasion, some more 'militant' comments being made that I don't agree with personally and I find a little close-minded, and yes it...

actually wait... I've heard there's chocolate covered marzipan in Europe that's vegan (that I can't find here). When I was growing up I ate marzipan like crazy.
So I say chocolate covered...

OK, so I would clearly be dead first since you all are so healthy, but I"m going to say chocolate. At least I would go out happy!

I know. When it rained for that 40 days straight a few months ago, it was horrible, I'm not used to that either because at least in Ontario it may be cold but the sky is blue. When we had that...

btw: all the likes I agree with. B.C. is incredibly beautiful, cleaner air, much much more laid back and vegan friendly than other places. It is my favourite part of the country by far.

I'm in Victoria, and same thing with the needles and homeless and drug problem. I moved here from Toronto and I cannot believe how bad the homeless and drug problem is here. I see more needles...

Sure cedarblue-couldn't do it today though. I'll try it soon and let you know how it is.

Thanks so much Jane. I think I'll try 1 or 2 of them tomorrow since I have most of the ingredients already.

That's what I'm worried about :( . I may not be able to use those recipes then because obviously real milk is NOT an option.

One example would be whipped toppings that call for whipping cream (and whatever flavour I chose to make of it). I have no idea what I could substitute for the cream that would be of the same...

I am seriously contemplating starting a vegan catering company-specifically desserts. It's probably in my blood since my grandparents/great-grandparents etc. all did this, but I am having a problem...

I can guess what that means but huh?

skilful is 1 l? I thought it was skillful; and the ze, se, I'm definitely American on. OK, I got manoeuvre wrong on that english test too!!! banque? OK, that's it, I'm not reading anymore right...

OMG, I spelled it wrong :o , I am sooooooo bad!!!!

OK, I'm going to check out that link now!

This thread is so funny!! I tend to spell things the Canadian way (colour, favour, cheque of course), but some things I am super Americanized. I took a test last week and you had to say what words...

Thanks Karma (and everyone else!), that sounds great.

Hey Robert, thanks so much for the ideas and offer, you are awesome!:D
I'm sure I could use your help along the way and I'll let you know. I had actually thought about a book since people always...

I recently quit my job trading (total capitalist, market driven, male dominated job-nothing against men, just the worst of men ;) ) so I could stop getting to work at 6am and actually do something I...

Exactly what I was thinking.

From everywhere I've travelled (which is limited to North America and Europe), I would say England, that's where I found the most vegan options. Definitely not Canada, although BC is the most vegan...

I love their pineapple chicken balls-so yummy

Apples

I use ground soy products (Yves in Canada, I'm pretty sure it's in the US). I cook it with lots of veggies and pasta sauce and either eat it plain or with pasta. I've also used it to make tacos and...

All these ideas sound great, thanks - and I love mustard, I never thought of using that for flavour.

Thanks for the ideas! I dont think the marigold is available in Canada, I haven't seen it and I checked online and it was all in UK prices. I will definitely try the other recipes - 6 hrs simmering...

Hey,
We should definitely all get together and have a potluck :) . Wow, Hawaii, that must be nice, especially from Ontario (they're in the -20's right now!!).

And the bunnies are everywhere - I...

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had a simple recipe for a good vegetable soup and how to make (cooking time, spices to make it taste good, oil, etc.). I tried to make some soup from scratch years...

Thanks for all the ideas everyone, I'm thrilled to have all these breakfast options. :)

Wildflower, I tried the oats with banana and soy milk and it was really good (I'm going to go get some...

See, the avatar is a UVic bunny!!

Hey, I'm in Victoria (moved out here last April from the East).

I don't know any other vegans either, not even back East! But people are definitely nicer here about it than in Ontario- there I...

I've read in several places that the best protein is at least double the count of the carbohydrates, which is why the breakfast foods (patties/links) or tofu is what I have been eating. I need about...
