smpar Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 No eggs or fish would be a big miss for me, love a steak pie also. Do many clubs offer meat free pie's ?You’ll get a macaroni pie at a lot of grounds, and the odd cheese and onion bake. No vegan options though.The problem is I love eating different food and veganism is boring. There just isn’t enough variety and many vegan substitutes I’ve tried are just not up to it.If you’re wanting to give up animal products then stick at it, veggie and vegan alternatives aren’t boring if you give it a chance. Have a look for some recipe books, or even some videos on Facebook which can be good. Even eating out is a lot easier than it was five years ago, for example; more places have more and better options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I did give the Beyond Meat burger a go from Tesco. £5 for two burgers and they were absolutely disgusting. Quorn sausages weren't too bad though. Oat milk and Soya is delicious. I don't think I could go vegi though unless they could create meat like products that taste like meat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I often try to have 1 or 2 days meat free a week and wish I stuck to it more. Think I’d be okay without red meat etc but chicken is just too easy for me, nearly every meal I have will involve using it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cheapo beef from north and south America that's the problem. I've found oat milk to be the best non dairy milk, it's also one of the most environmentally friendly unlike soya or almond. Good shouts, thanks. I think I prefer eating venison anyway, it's delicious. I wish more wild venison was sold in shops - do my bit for rewilding and all that. Funnily enough, I was thinking of oat milk as I posted my earlier response. Your recommendation has just sealed the deal, I will buy some and report back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'm not a big milk drinker but with Oat milk I found myself drinking it on it's own. Delicious stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will need to give this a go. Tried oat milk a couple of times in tea and thought it was ‘meh’. Didn’t like almond milk at all when I tried it but quite enjoy soya milk in tea and porridge - not tried it in cereal as cappuccino put me off when there was more of it, if that makes sense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are inclined to try again, the Viv Era burgers are very good. £2.50 for 2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venti Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Went through a veggie phase in my teenage years. Then realised steak pies, bacon cheeseburgers & mixed kebabs weren't worth being pretentious for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathematics Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Couple of points: some of the fake meat options out there are good, some are bad, just like the meat options out there, you have to experiment (but aye, buy good salt); there are no good vegan cheese alternatives, sorry; fake bacon is the devil; a veggie or vegan diet is not boring, there’s a massive variety available if you’re willing to learn, experiment, pay (unfortunately), and spend time; militant vegans can be c***s, just like those that come on to threads about veganism to proclaim just how good meat tastes. I know how good meat tastes, it can be delicious, some people just don’t think it’s worth it, and; I’m not vegan, but I respect those who have the strength to be. Thanks to @MixuFruit for his kind words. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathematics Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Also: being a vegan would be whole lot easier if you lived in a country with they appetite for it (no pun intended). Much more difficult in the country like Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within a minute of meeting them, they'll tell you! Where did I say I was a vegan? I created a thread for those interested in veganism. 13 hours ago, welshbairn said: The only Vegan like that I've encountered is the OP. Again, where did I state that I was a vegan? I should declare, in the interest of transparency, that I am not vegan. I am endeavouring to transition from a carnivorous diet to either a pescatarian diet or fully vegan. I don't currently eat red meat or dairy produce at all. I don't think I've eaten chicken this year either, but I have had some bone broth. When starting this thread, my intention was to discuss recipes, protein and calcium sources, that kind of thing. Of course many people are vegan for ethical reasons, and I certainly hate the idea of animal cruelty, and given an equally nutritious alternative would opt for that. For those interested in a whole food, plant based diet for health reasons, I recommend https://nutritionfacts.org - it's a website of research compiled by Dr. Michael Greger, author of the book How Not To Die.

I went vegetarian about a year ago, and I am cutting down the amount of cheese I eat but not always successful. I have found some of the alternatives for sausages and burgers to be just as good. Though I still miss a ham and cheese sandwich. Also oat milk is perfectly acceptable alternative to milk. I couldn’t eat any of the “cheeses” cold, but I've found some taste really good when in a toastie (violife or Applewood), same with when they’re heated up over nachos or chips 2 hours ago, smpar said: You’ll get a macaroni pie at a lot of grounds, and the odd cheese and onion bake.

They sure are (I went with my pal earlier this season as he had a spare ticket and I’m a masochist). Ive seen them for sale in a few local shops as well.
