Wutwo, could I ask what brand of cranberry juice you've been drinking? I know cranberries are very sharp without a good amount of sugar. Or have you been blending cranberries without telling us?
Cranberry juice has been a bit hit or miss tbh, I do enjoy the sharpness with a hint of sweetness. Oo, I'd blend my own too for juice and cranberry sauce.Non-sweetened is best. I tried the Asda stuff but even their unsweetened tastes very sweet to me, and cranberries aren't naturally a sweet fruit. I ended up with Sainsbury's which at least isn't sweet. If I could buy loads of fresh cranberries I totally would blend my own!
@WuTwo I’ve just downloaded lots of semi tan recipes - where do you get your gluten and your yeast?
Semi tan? Bad application of tanning spray? Seitan!!!!
Supermarkets sell nutritional yeast (called Engevita in the UK) but I get my gluten from Amazon. Sometimes I buy the nooch from Amazon too in a multipack. Someone is usually selling stuff prime and that makes life cheaper. Search on vital wheat gluten.
Thank you, I will.
I’m going to look in a couple of food shops in town tomorrow, now that Hamish can walk further without moaning and see what’s there. I’m a little late to the vegan food party but it makes lots of sense, for many reasons. My brother-in-law breeds Herefords, my sister’s vegetarian, and I find it difficult to get my head around her pride in the calves they raise knowing that all the boys not ‘fit’ for breeding will end up on a plate. They even name them all
Lots of bees, butterflies and a huge range of birds. It takes a lot of effort to keep it controlled wild, thanks for the compliment @WuTwoThat is a gorgeous garden! Do you get many bees? *hopeful* - I am very, very fond of bees.
@Fairygodmother - nope they wouldn't survive. But looking at their truly dreadful existences (you can't call what they go through a life) - and even more appalling deaths - would you want them to?
Did you know male chicks are usually suffocated or macerated (ground up alive) as soon as hatched? They're useless - we want the eggs out of the females..... If people didn't buy eggs, it wouldn't happen.
Maybe reducing the population is a good theory but in practice do you see it happening? Buy one, and some farmer will instantly send several to slaughter, and breed more to take their place.
Not gonna start on pigs, cows and sheep. On the big complexes their lives are heartbreaking and their deaths worse.
There was a similar discussion about the KFC imposter burger and Mcdonalds vegan options - some vegans felt reluctant to support those fast food chains because animals are still being killed and buying their vegan options isn't stopping it.@Fairygodmother - nope they wouldn't survive.

Yes, I feel if people bought more vegan burgers, meat burger sales will drop and maybe they will come out with more options.@MeiChanski- I see where they're coming from, but tbh I'd rather a veganburger was bought than a meat burger, and choosing vegan might make people think, and is one less meatburger sold. Water dripping on stone erodes it in the end ......
Yes they are cooked in a separate grills and fryers. Same way Nandos and other food places do it. My uni cafe had a colour code system for vegan food and meat food.How are the KFC veganburgers cooked? Do they have dedicated vegan grills? I would be concerned they would have some meat juices on them.
