My current favourite is peanut butter and carrot preserve, yes carrot preserve, a find in a Middle Eastern shop. Very sweet and very bright orange.
Hummus and grated carrot is also good.
Or just salad. Maybe smoked tofu sliced thinly, topped with sun-dred tomatoes and pesto? Vegan pate (such as Tartex, sold in tubes from health food shops), perhaps with some salad or tomato. Or how about good old reliable houmous?
my fave sandwich is vegan sausages with one slice of bread covered in wholegrain mustard, the other covered in mayonaise and the sausages covered in ketchup, how many condiments can one sandwich have?!
If anyone has had the pleasure of trying this cheese, they know exactly what I am talking about It is fairly new and not readily available to the public, at least not in the US. It is called Daiya (mmwha I love you) It is the only cheese that I have ever tried that actually melts, stings like real cheese, and is like a heavenly vacation for my taste buds!!!!! I absolutey love it! I hope they make it available for all of us veg heads to buy soon. My first unforgettably euphoric experience was a pizza joint called Zpizza! Berkley Vegan you rocked my world

I saw vegan marshmallow (ricemallow) fluff in the grocery store the other day. I'm highly intrigued.
That stuff is great. The first time I tried it and made a pnb & fluff sandwich to take to work w/ me and I was drooling until lunchtime. It's also good plopped into a cup of cocoa.
*sigh* now I want a pnb/fluff sandwich.
My fave sandwich is based on the kick ass chicken sandwich in skinny bitch in the kitch book:
50 Grams Blended Silken Tofu (or 50 Grams Soya Yogurt)
2-3 Grams Curry powder
Dash of lemon juice
Pinch of salt and pepper
6 grams of nutritional yeast.
Mix these together until well combined in a bowl.
In another bowl;
50 Grams vegan chicken
20 grams red onion finely diced
some diced celery
All mixed together well
combine the 2 mixtures and spread on some vegan bread and you have a vegantastic sandwich
Eggless egg salad, made with crumbled firm tofu, vegan mayo, salt, pepper, and dijon mustard
Usually on brown seeded bread.
I love eggless egg salad. I kind of use the recipe from How It All Vegan, but miss out half the fiddly bits. I do usually include spring onions though.
Tasty tasty.
Just wanted to share with everyone this fantastic cottage/cream type cheese I make using Kefir grains. They say that you cannot make kefir with soya milk but I have kept one going for over two years and have also shared the grains out to many friends. I have tried all different types of soya milk and the best one in Alpro organic unsweetened. you pour the milk onto the grains in a glass jar put kitchen paper over the top secured with a rubber band and leave over night. by the morrning it has gone thick. you then put this mixture through a sieve and leave the grains remaining in the sieve to start again in another glass jar. with the yoghurt mixture you can place back in a sieve lined with muslim and let it drain for a day which then leaves you with the soft cheese in the sieve and the whey in the bowl. the whey can be drunk or fed to your plants its like miracle grow! the cheese is great with salt and pepper or herbs.if you want a sweet version add algrave syrup and the juice of a lemon and whiz in a blender until smooth pour into ramikins its wonderful and yummy!
If you go to this group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kefir_making/ and ask if anyone can send them to you by post thats what i did. even if they are milk ones they can be rinsed in water and started with soya milk. mine were originaly i beleive.
Thank you Sue - might try that although I'd better choose a time when I'll be sure of using them - I imagine you have to "feed" them to keep the culture going, do you?
I usually have an avocado and veganaise sandwich or sometimes I put guacamole onto a corn or flour tortilla and heat for a couple minutes in a skillet.
