Does this look like vegan egg?

Seriously, how can this mistake be made? To add insult I've obviously got the four free batteries and not the whole pack!
Now I have to go to the post office and queue to get a receipt and then try and get it somewhere else.
What's the crappest thing to turn up that you weren't expecting?

It certainly doesn't look like vegan egg!

What IS vegan egg??

What a pain in the arse to have to send it back.

I once randomly received three calligraphy brushes from China...

SouthWestmom · 10/12/2019 15:25

Vegan egg is what I need to keep someone happy. Batteries otoh won't do it!

Have they actually asked to it back? They often say don’t bother

Depends what the batteries are used to power Wink

SouthWestmom · 10/12/2019 17:52

This is true!

Yes they asked for it back - I've had to trek to the post office to queue up and return four unwanted batteries

Buy some tins of chickpeas, you can use the liquid like egg white, does that help you at all?

00100001 · 10/12/2019 18:02

...maybe they're the vegan version of battery chicken eggs...

Does vegan egg come from battery hens, then?

MalingeringMary · 10/12/2019 18:11

Oddly, the return address is to a laser cutting company (looked cos I work around there)...Why would they have vegan eggs in the first place? Confused

SouthWestmom · 10/12/2019 18:46

Wtf is a vegan egg????

00100001 · 10/12/2019 21:35

It's a substitute for egg.

You can use things like flaxseed for things like baking or chickpea water for meringue.

Dislocatedeyeballs · 10/12/2019 21:40

Totally confused. com

00100001 · 10/12/2019 22:30

Just google vegan egg substitutes and you’ll understand

www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/orgran-no-egg-60072854?skuid=072854&brandId=366

This is the brand I ordered from amazon. It substitutes egg in recipes or you can scramble it to add texture to a meal.

But I'm going to try the chickpea thing I didn't know about.

I ordered myself a Cath Kidson wash bag and a Frozen diary arrived with a frozen pen and a dinky padlock. But for the fact the delivery note said it was a wash bag, I’d have thought I’d ordered it for one of my grandchildren!
The company asked me to return it to the post office, I said I will when I’m passing!

MAFIL · 10/12/2019 22:40

I use that egg replacer in cooking sometimes Noeuf as my DS is allergic to eggs amongst other things but I can't imagine being able to scramble it. Have you done it before, and if so, how did you do it and how dis it come out?
(Sorry for derailing the thread but I am always on the look out for new ideas!)

SouthWestmom · 10/12/2019 22:45

www.orgran.com/recipes/recipe/vegan-easy-egg-scrambled-eggs/

This is what I was going to do (main thing was for muffins for egg free visitor) - many years ago I used to get something similar from health food shops and scramble it so assumed it was the same.

How do you get from wash bag to diary ?
Isn't there a game like that?

Washbag
Diary

Change a letter and make a new word etc

I ordered a box of padded envelopes from Amazon and received a coping saw.... I contacted them and they refunded me and said I could keep the saw, so that will be a win once I find a use for a coping saw!

Ohyesiam · 10/12/2019 23:00

Op I’ve used silken tofu or vegan mayo as egg substitute in cakes , of thats any help. Domestic Gothess talks through various egg free methods on her website

Ohyesiam · 10/12/2019 23:01

I think the chickpea water might only be for meringues.
