Hi, I go to Bangkok about once a year. I've never found eating vegan much of a problem, in fact I have more trouble here in London. Most restaurants have a page or two of vegetarian dishes in their...

Just a small note about chocolate in Japan.
Whenever I'm in Japan, I've noticed that most chocolates, even the ones that clearly say "72% cocoa", or even higher percentages lie "85%" cocoa...
Place one sachet of the powdered kombucha into a tea cup. Do not use rolling boiling water (water that has just been boiled), but water that has been boiled and rested for a little bit so it's not...
Truly idiotic. And depressing. (The book, not you guys)
Hi, I'm assuming you're a girl so you'll have to say "soy vegana."
El Corte Inglés is a store where you'll be able to find several soy yogurts and other goodies.
¿Este plato lleva carne? is...
I get my agave from either Fresh & Wild or Planet Organic. Do they not sell them in Holland & Barrett?
I've had one sandwich from Pret in the last 4 years, so I don't feel too bad. I'm just pointing out that technically a 33% stake does not mean owning a company completely.
McDonald's only has a 33% minority stake in Pret a Manger, so no, it doesn't own Pret.
I've seen Fresh Organics products in Planet Organic as well. As for Paddington Station, you can get a vegan wrap from EAT upstairs.
I've never heard any guy put it that way, but ok Russ, if you insist your spoon is too big, then too big it is.
Jeez, you counted the words? Which ones, ghee and Selfridge's?
And aren't M&S the ones with the dodgy vegan list?
Nice new avatar, Russ.
I love dates in date maamoul. I've been able to find some made with vegetable ghee instead of butter at Selfridge's.
Hi Antonia, I haven't drank any alcohol for about three years. The looks I get when I announce that I don't drink are quite similar to the looks I get when I say I don't eat meat. So it shouldn't...
I think I would find it quite hard to not eat on a 17 hour flight!!! I can hardly go three hours without eating as it is!
Thanks for that Kiran. I swear I'm not that lazy, I went to look for this, but somehow ended up in the Unilever corporate site.
Oh, and I lied. I use Biona marg for baking cookies, but not for...
Hey Kiran, thanks for the pic. I never eat butter substitutes or margarine (simply because I've never been into them), but could you tell me why Flora isn't vegan?
Oh, and the thing in the very...
Addendum: I went to Kung Tak Lam Shanghai Vegetarian Cuisine, but the Peking Road branch in Tsim Sha Tsui. It's a proper restaurant, not a buffet or anything, and it was fantastic. It also does...
Hey Lydia, that's really awful. Can't you get yourself and Seb registered somewhere else? I know they always make it sound like it's impossible to change GPs, but it is possible to get transferred...
I was too grateful that he wasn't giving me the usual bs to notice anything hinky about his advice. I was just sitting there and basking in the warm glow of his acceptance...quite a rare treat for...
I had one GP who saw me for shin splints. I told him I ran every morning in the park and that I walk almost everywhere, he asked me, "Why do you run and walk so much?"
He was in his 60s and...
KLM is usually good with vegan meals. Bland, but acceptable. I flew with them last year.
I just had some fantastic vegan meals today on Cathay, from Hong Kong to London. They even gave me some...
I don't normally use egg replacers, although I know many people do. Many vegan cake recipes use oil, bananas, or a ground up flaxseed and water combination. I use oil.
btw, Spanish is my native...
I use it for baking instead of maple syrup, it helps make really light cakes.
Absolutely. There's two employees in my local Planet in Westbourne Grove who actually smile. I figure they won't be there for long, since they don't fit the miserable company culture. The managers...
And a high thread count/weave T-shirt to cover up. :)
Extremely. You don't know the half of it! :p
Gulf Air has got quite a good rep, they should do all types of meals. Any chance you could get your local Gulf Air reservations office number and talk to them directly? I always find them much more...
I flew from London to Hong Kong yesterday, on Cathay Pacific. The food was really good, and my whole meal was vegan, down to the sunflower spread they provided for the dinner roll. Garbanzo beans...
Stu, do you mind being a bit more specific? (Especially if it's really gross) What type of negative effects did you & your friend experience?
Dove, you were given a local anaesthetic? I didn't get anything, just the needle going in like normal...!
For the girls, in the UK they have a lower weight limit of 8 stone or something like that. So if you're under that, they won't let give you blood, I think. They even weigh you. :o
I second Mr F. To meet all your requirements, it might be easier to just make your own.
Sometimes it has honey, if it's the honey roasted type. Again, it depends on the airline.
On one flight on KLM, we were given these weird cracker-like snacks. I think they were pretending to...
Even though I always request special meals, I still bring tons of food with me. I don't trust anyone or anything.
Wow, did you get to wear a cute uniform? I don't even know what to call them anymore. It used to be air stewardesses, then they became air hostesses, and now I think they're flight attendants or...
Yes, VGML seems to be the magic code.
I just booked flights from London Heathrow (LHR) to Hong Kong (HKG) with Cathay Pacific. They called their vegan meal Non-Dairy Vegetarian.
This is Hong Kong's vegan society:

I do this kind of thing all the time, but I try to do it surreptitiously, so as to not annoy everyone!! Although inside I'm thinking, "Ha! Look at the crap you're eating!"
Has anyone mentioned the Divine Darkly Easter Egg? I think it's 70% chocolate, and it includes chocolate covered Brazil Nuts. But I haven't checked the ingredients personally, so don't know if...
