Thought I’d start off a list of Christmas food finds for All of those who are DF this Christmas. I’ll start off with:

Bisto Best gravy
Lidl mint thins
Lidl Mince pies
Iceland Mince Pies
Iceland Turkey
Elizabeth Shaw mint crisps

Might add a few more later. Please feel free to add your DF festive food

So have we all bought our DF goodness?

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 18/12/2017 20:01

Have we had a recommendation for a good Christmas cake yet?

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 18/12/2017 19:33

Anyone have a good bread sauce recipe? I don’t unfortunately Honey one account of growing up in a very, very working class household

Aldi's pates are df too.

Anyone have a good bread sauce recipe?

Cariadd · 18/12/2017 18:38

I use Oatly cream for all my sauces both savoury and sweet and for pouring over anything. Oatly Barrista Milk for foamy hot drinks. Coconut vanilla yoghurt is nice in place of yoghurt. Oatly fromage frais is good as an accompaniement to tart puddings.

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 18/12/2017 18:33

Oh and not sure if I’ve mentioned Lidl’s spiced biscuit spread. God it’s lovely.

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 18/12/2017 18:32

It must have been the Iceland “cheap as chips” ones I had then Cariadd

Iceland Luxury mince pies contain butter and milk

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 18/12/2017 18:25

Thanks thenew. Why oh why do they need to put milk in Pate?

thenewaveragebear1983 · 18/12/2017 12:22

I shall answer my own question
Asda pork and mushroom pate is dairy free.

BouncyFlouncy · 17/12/2017 18:19

AND it has marzipan on it, others I've seen/tried such as Tesco omit the marzipan which for me is vital on Christmas cake.

BouncyFlouncy · 17/12/2017 18:17

Yes the Costa vegan Christmas cake slice is definitely DF. I may have already consumed a few and I can report no hospitalisation ( results of me ingesting dairy)

youarenotkiddingme · 16/12/2017 21:36

I’m GF. But my trip to Morrison’s in the city today proved worthwhile!

Pretty sure my freefrom cake and Christmas cake are DF too.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 16/12/2017 21:18

The lidl mince pies are dairy free and they are delicious!

Could any of you suggest a dairy free pate? Or is pate always going to be dairy-Licious by nature? I wanted to do pate, bread, and salad for my starter on Xmas day but every one I look at has cream/dairy in it.

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 13/12/2017 18:13

Think we need a tester for the Adsa Yule Log? Is anyone willing to step forward?

Don’t know if we’ve already mentioned the Asda Mince Pies but their 89p ones are DF! Full of crap mind...

Thenewaverage. vegan should mean DF & EF but I can’t find the product, or its allergy information online. Has anyone seen the ingredients for themselves?

NameChange30 · 13/12/2017 17:49

Molly
I think it depends on the store. I had to pop to another (similar size) Tesco today and they didn’t have it.

MollyHuaCha · 13/12/2017 17:37

I looked for the Yule log in Tesco today but didn't find it.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 13/12/2017 16:55

Noticed today that Costa have a vegan Christmas cake slice in their stores- does this mean dairy free? I am guessing yes, and also egg free?

NameChange30 · 13/12/2017 16:49

Everyone

I took one for the team and opened the Tesco Yule log. It’s not bad but it’s rather dry. So not a full thumbs up from me.
Sadly won’t be able to compare it to the Asda one just yet. It’s just DH and me eating them atm and we’re going away before Christmas so we won’t eat them both before we go. I’ll save the Asda one for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Bit of a risk but needs must!

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 12/12/2017 21:30

And is there anything I should look out for that you wouldn’t expect to have milk in it but it does? unfortunately everything. I’d check the labels on everything you eat and keep checking because occasionally they change the recipes and it isn’t always obvious.

Name I’ve so overwhelmed that you are prepared to go to such lengths to help us. Have we got any results yet?

M&S chocolate and coconut cream drink, like a vegan Baileys!

NameChange30 · 11/12/2017 17:20

Today I found luxury “free from” chocolate Yule logs in Asda and Tesco! I bought both obviously. Research.

Co-op have festive doughnuts that are dairy and egg free, they have white icing and gold sprinkles.

Asda have some dairy free mince pies.

LaContessaDiPlump · 06/12/2017 22:42

Namechange30 salt and vinegar crisps often have milk/lactose in why?!?

LaContessaDiPlump · 06/12/2017 22:41

Not terribly Christmassy but Greggs Belgian buns are vegan! I ate two at a sitying when I realised

Ikea also have v.nice gingerbread thins which are vegan, for those with an Ikea in reach.
