I had some of that in Spain about 3 years back, fantastic stuff, it's a bit like eating coal but really addictive, unfortunately when I bought it it had milk in it though.

Today:
1 cup of coffee with vanilla soy milk.
2 pieces organic multigrain toast spread with chocolate peanut butter and mashed organic banana.
1 sandwich: 2 pieces wholewheat bread, shredded lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, cucumber, mustard.
1 small bowl of fruit salad: peaches, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon.
1/2 can Fresca.
1 soy hot chocolate.
1 can Amy's lentil soup.
2 pieces organic multigrain toast with Soy Garden spread.
1 glass of water.
Soon I'm going to have a cup of chai tea with vanilla soy milk and
A Belsoy chocolate pudding cup.
1% of it has to be something else, and part of that 1% was definately milk (or at least a milk product), I remember well because it was not long after I became vegan so I ended up leaving most of it when I realised. They probably do different recipes for each country or it's changed over the years.
L - was sick to my stomach at work, and hadn't eaten, so I resorted to a clif builder's bar and an Amy's stir fry cooked....in the microwave! *duh duh duuh!*
I haven't eaten microwaves food for four years. I remembered why (apart from the health issues). It tasted HORRIBLE. I've had it made in the over many times, but this time is was rubbery and hard and gross. Later, 25 buttons brought me aporper lunch.
2nd L - proper stirfry with whole wheat organic noodles, organic veggies (carrots, broccoli, corn, peppers, lima beans), and crumpled up expired organic veggie burgers
S - builder's bar, sparkling apple juice, some saltines (for stomach), and a bite of papaya strips
D - left over stir fry
2nd D - day before grocery day medley; steamed left over organic produce (zicchini, cucumber, broccoli, bell pepper, potato) and organic brown rice.
They are milk free here but dark chocolate tastes like poop!
Peace, love, and happiness.
And how do you know what poop tastes like?
BREAKFAST:
Two wholemeal seeded bagels with organic peanut butter and jam
LUNCH:
Falafel, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, hummus(caramalised onion version!!) and some homemade chip shop chips.
DINNER:
Burrito made with pinto beans, salsa, little bit of mince, grated cheezley and a whole avocado mashed up to form gucamole lol
The taste of anything in my mouth for 5 seconds does not equate to the beauty and complexity of life.
lots of eating out yesterday for my dad's birthday, so:
b- two wholemeal toast with raspberry jam
l - salad at the tate consisting of:
sliced beetroot, watercress, green beans, and soemthing else but i can't remember. possible gem lettuce. sounds basic, but was actually really tasty (and quite large, too).
snack - um...chips. i knew where we were going in the evening and thought i'd better stock up!
d - gem lettuce and walnut salad to start. chopped tasty tomatoes, fennel and steamed spinach for main (too small, see below for comment) and pinapple with pomegrante parfait for dessert.
the restaurant for dinner was called J Sheeky, in covent garden. it's a fish restaurant owned by the same group that own the Ivy. they do have a veg and vegan menu, however the vegan options (as you can see, apart from dessert, which was lovely) are very lacking in...well, anything. it's weird, because the vegetarian options are really quite substantial.
it's the second time i've been there (tis my dad's favourite restaurant), and i'm thinking of writing them an email, just saying i'm grateful that they offer options, but really they are not nutritious enough and wildly overpriced. what do people think?

Had a horrible experience ingesting dairy products today...went out for lunch with my mum as a test to see if I'm over the disordered eating patterns I've had for most of my life. Thought the meal tasted odd...later found out there was butter AND milk in it. I also found a piece of bacon in my side salad. I sent that back and got a new one, but found out the rest too late. I wanted to cry. I did cry. I feel so unclean, so disgusting. It's my fault, I should never have gone to the restaurant, I'm so selfish and pathetic
Consoled myself with a lovely tofu stir fry for tea but I just feel like I want to claw off my own skin and get all the dairy out of me...

aww Skylark, it sounds like such a rough day for you. Don't be too hard on yourself you had no idea what was in there. I hope everything went well with your mom despite this and your day gets better! :HUGS:

Thank you Ella - it's just so frustrating when you specifically say VEGAN and explain what that is in great detail, then talk to the same person you explained it to afterwards and have them tell you they made a ****ing SOUP with butter and milk...a TOMATO soup *explodes*
Sigh, anyway, my mum felt really bad about it and spent the rest of the day apologising to me. I don't blame her at all as she was only trying to help me, and it was her favourite restaurant so I felt I had to go so she fells doubly guilty about that. I still love her though, even if she is an omni

I'd definitely complain to J Sheeky flying plum. And when they have improved their options to your satisfaction I'll go and eat there!
Today I had a weetabix, a banana and some blueberries for breakfast then starved all day because I didn't get a chance to eat.
Ate out at Pepperton and had red wine, fried plantain, quinoa with stir fried tofu and vegetables, then mocha cake and tea. (Then malibu! )
