Vegan and British

[ragged]

In October I am visiting a relative in USA, staying 2 nights in her home.
I wanted to bring her some Scotties butter shortbread... but turns out she's vegan.
Any ideas what I could take instead?

Ideally something tasty & not expensive.

She'd also like some kitsch merchandise linked to Princes William & Harry. But she can probably get huge selection to buy of that stuff for herself, anyway (online).

Thanks for any help.

Party rings are vegan :D

Soreen banana loaf? (Malt loaf isn't vegan but banana loaf is)

Bourbons and custard creams are usually vegan and quintissentially British!

Could you make some shortbread?

Oreos here are also British when they aren't in America, same for skittles and starburst.

Is she American?

A lot of bourbon chocolate biscuits are vegan - i think Tesco and Sainsbury's own brand are, for example. I've known visitors from abroad to fill a suitcase to take home with them.

Plain hobnobs are vegan as well

ivenoidea are you sure about the custard creams? i never find vegan ones, they've all got milk in... happy to be corrected!

Choc chip hobnobs are vegan,
Marks and spencers Veggie percy pigs sweets,
Co op do a dairy free fudge/ dairy free strawberry ice bites type thing in their free from section,
Sesame snacks are vegan,
My favourite are vego chocolate bars they're sold in some health food type shops and taste amazing

Just checked and the brand I get is lovemore custard creams from Ocado. You're right potato - sorry!

Some of Montezuma's chocolate bars are vegan. I was going to recommend the 100% cocoa bar but I see they also do some dark chocolate plus different flavours that are also suitable for vegans.

Even the Black Forest Gateau (ie dark chocolate and cherry) bar is vegan, and it has a large Union Jack on the packaging.

You can buy accidentally vegan shortbread in Tesco! Bigger ones usually have it, in a purple packet. By this company: m.facebook.com/duncansofdeeside/?locale2=en_GB (not sure how to make clickable - it's Duncans of Deeside).

Original and chocolate chip Hobnobs are vegan.

Accidentally vegan snack foods

Choc chip hobnobs might be good. I want something that isn't obviously niche vegan product, iyswim, but is especially British.

Some things on EyeHalve's list are very American, anyway, like Oreos & Doritos.

I just came back to the US from home and stuffed my suitcase with veggie Percy pigs, gingernut biscuits, oatcakes, hula hoops and a lot of various varieties of salt and vinegar crisps

Party rings are not vegan !
They are not even vegetarian.

Plain McVeities biscuits are vegan

roderick

Yes they are suitable for vegetarians

I stand corrected.
They changed in 2015.

Warbaton crumpets.

Crumpets are fairly British aren't they?

Macsween vegetarian haggis is also vegan, I believe, but tricky to get hold of year round unless you're in Scotland.

I've just looked at the accidentally vegan list. I'm suprised but also not suprised that chicken pot noodle is vegan...

Walker's dark chocolate mint thins and dark chocolate Turkish Delight are accidently vegan

Fry mint and peppermint bars

Chicken pot noodle isn't vegan although it is vegetarian...

Vegan Oreos would be good if the American Ines aren't vegan - it's something classic that she'll never normally be able to enjoy but can eat the British version

Green & Black's dark chocolate. Except the burnt toffee one.
