To miss genuine veggie food

[IdiotIntrusion]

In the light of all the vegan options coming out, what's happened to veggie food? Granted veggies can eat vegan but I want real cheese or mayo on my burger instead of the fake stuff.

Not even allowed to add a coffee to a 'vegan' meal at burger king, I assume because of the milk. Had to pay separately.

Just having a moan. It's annoying as hell. Anyone else?

Pizza Express has made my favourite vegetarian vegan - i.e, with vegan mozzarella, which I hate. Last time I went, I asked them to swap it for normal mozzarella but instead got a pizza with no cheese. We had waited for ages, so I just ate it rather than complain/send it back but it wasn’t very nice!

Mozzarella isn't vegetarian.

Mozzarella is vegetarian.

A quick google tells me that most proper mozzarella is made using animal rennet, which is not vegetarian. If you google vegetarian mozzarella, you get a list of vegan mozzarella substitutes.

Traditionally it is made with animal rennet. However in the UK the vast majority of mozzarella (like the vast majority of cheese) is made using vegetable rennet and is vegetarian.

I’m just going to leave this here

@KittenKong why the confused face?

Vegan bones!

For the benefit of whoever it was who was worrying about protein on a vegan diet, I thought I'd track what I've eaten so far today. This is just from breakfast and lunch, no protein powder or supplements, (almost) all whole foods. I'm not worried about the figure for iron either as we're having lentils in our dinner later, so I'm sure that will bring that figure right up.

Vegan bones!

Urgh!!! Foul. Why would a non meat eater want something designed to appear like a bone?

It looks nasty. I’m not even sure meat eaters would like that. They certainly didn’t like it when I used to have to host conferences and always (sad I know) asked guests how they were enjoying the battered goldfish (those prawn tempura canapé things that have their wee tails hanging out).
