What I ate today for vegans 3!!

[Kobanidaughters]

New thread for all the deliciousness!

Do you mean the 'rewilded' area? kobani There's a book called Wilding by Isabella Tree there's an email www.picador.com It's the Knepp Project in West Sussex

Good luck with your search. I was thinking when you're settled here, and I'm at Mum's, maybe we could all meet somewhere central

B. Fruit plate; Water melon,grapes, dried figs,dates. apricot
L.Crunched up ryvitas with salad and the usual yeast spread\pnut butter.

I forgot supper it was another large fruit plate

Out of interest I made yeast spread out of the yeast flakes they sell here. We can't get the Meridian spread delivered. ( I don't eat the famous Mar. stuff!) It was dead easy to make; either mix the flakes with olive oil or with water! Or both!

Yesterday
B: too hot
L: Plant Kitchen no-pork pies, Wicked Kitchen baconnaise coleslaw, French bread, hummus and salad
D: compensating for the junky lunch, Dr Greger 'bbq' tempeh with greens and sweet potato

Today
B: too hot
L: last two no-pork pie, leftover cold boiled potatoes from Sunday
D: I'm all out of ideas. DP is out and has just let me know she won't be back in time to eat with me, and I can't be bothered to make the planned rice bowl just for me! Will probably defrost a portion of curry and have it with the rest of the potatoes.

Aw can you imagine a big fat vegan get together @ppeatfruit?!

B: sourdough toast and homemade peach and cardamom jam
L: found an amazing vegan cafe in Lewes and had a Buddha bowl and a brownie
S: raspberries, olives
D: quick roasting tin tender stem broccoli, black beans and avocado with lime dressing

@KarmaViolet how were the pork pies? I am LOVING trying all the vegan stuff in British supermarkets

The Tesco own brand Plant Kitchen ones are great Kobani although they miss the wobbly jelly of originals (many would say this is a plus point!) The Higgidy ones were horrible.

Big fat vegan get together sounds awesome!

What are your supermarket highlights so far @KobaniDaughters? Just want to check I haven't missed any 😉

I think I liked the Tesco pies too @KarmaViolet, but tbh DD18 might have inhaled them so quickly I'm not completely sure 😂

Yesterday was
B: Monday smoothie
L: nectarine, bol char-grilled cauli Caesar salad with a handful of left over roasted aubergine and mushroom chucked in
D: quiche, new potato and broad bean salad, coleslaw and big salad

FD today (easier in the hot weather)
L: salad of black beans, chopped tomatoes, celery dressed in lime juice with chilli and coriander
D: South Indian curry with tomatoes, spinach and silken tofu

Def Richmond sausages, higgidy quiche, smoked tofu, cashew milk at a non exorbitant price, vegan Kit Kat’s…..I am super up for all the recommendations. Doing a picnic in the park on Saturday so will look out for the tesco pork pies

Kobani We did try the Iceland vegan beetroot, very cheap, burgers , ok but a bit too processed for me.

Yes Part It would be fortuitous if we could ALL make a get together in e.g Brighton

L: help yourself lunch of tomatoes, hummus, carrots sticks, olives, rocket, avocado, higgidy tomato quiche
D: spaghetti with roast fennel, onion, green beans, cannelloni beans and courgettes tossed in lemon tahini sauce with olives and capers
S: HM banana loaf

Off to London tomorrow, very excited to eat out!

S.sn. smoothie with hazelnutbutter,linseeds and almond milk\molasses
Curried chard and basmati rice with tamari

Looking forward to the london report @KobaniDaughters!
Was gutted to find no vegan Kit Kat's in my local sainsburys yesterday. Social media suggests that they experienced higher demand that expected so fingers crossed that's a temporary situation

FD again yesterday
L: black bean salad, same as Tuesday

S: couple of handfuls of nuts with raisins, trek peanut protein bar
Dinner at my parents house. My mum made a vegan bolognese with wholewheat spaghetti AND an instapot tomato risotto (also vegan). I had to have a small portion of each, the risotto was especially good. Served with salad and I provided garlic bread. My sister made rhubarb pie (vegan) and there was alpro custard and whipped plant Elmlea.

@KarmaViolet I also like quite a lot of the Tesco plant kitchen stuff, but agree it's trail and error
@ppeatfruit - that's interesting. Why do you boycott Tesco?
@KobaniDaughters - hope you didn't get lost in London!

So we stayed at my parents house on Sunday night (first time since before Covid). We all took a lateral flow before we left and then again on Monday. DD18 showed a faint positive, so instead of going on to visit more family as planned we came home via a PCR test. I’m on holiday for the week anyway, but it’s buggered up our plans some what!

Monday
B: lots of fresh fruit (pineapple, a kiwi, a nectarine). 2 slices granary toast and marmalade
L: few crackers with ilchester blue and oatly cream cheese/gooseberry chutney. Big salad
D: 2 recipes from the quick roasting tin my friend loaned me. Tomato dal and sweet potato and pea curry. With rice and hm naan
S: fruit and nut mix,

Yesterday I made bread for the first time in forever (as we’re isolating and I’m on holiday this week). It’s been on my list of things to do for ages anyway. Simple white loaf yesterday as that was what I had flour in for
B: tinned grapefruit, porridge with blueberries, raspberries , golden syrup and seeds
L: just cooled fresh bread, 3 small slices all slathered in plant butter. One with marmite, one with cherry jam and one with a bowl of green soup
S: magnum, nakd chocolate/raspberry bar
D: black bean chilli, rice, Mexican Sweetcorn, beetroot, tofu sour cream and vegan feta cheese. Affogato for pudding

Made more bread yesterday, granary this time. Used the recipe on the hovis flour packet subbing plant butter. It was ok fresh, but too heavy. Will experiment more with bread recipes I think

Yesterday was
B: tinned grapefruit, 2 small slices of hm white bread toasted with marmalade
L: big salad with vegan feta, olives, Tesco vegan pork pie, 2 slices of the hm granary
D: fuck ramen
S: mango cornetto, collective plant yogurt (raspberry), cherries, salted nuts
