London vegan news, reviews & events
I’ve been doing this blogging thing for a long time now. Fat Gay Vegan has always been my corner of the Internet where I get to talk about food, community, activism, and all the little and big things that bring us together (or sometimes push us apart a bit hahahaha!).
But sometimes, a topic comes along that doesn’t quite sit in the same lane as where this blog motors along. It doesn’t mean it’s less important. Just different. And for that kind of writing, I use a platform called Medium.

If you love hearing people moan about bad manners, this episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast is for you.

We also talk about the surprising cultural legacy of Cheers star George Wendt who sadly passed away last week.
There is a bit of something for everyone in this latest episode!

There are some things in life that are just meant to go together. Tofish and chips. Gays and Kylie. A chocolate chip cookie and a glass of oat milk.
And now thanks to the brilliance of En Root and the Ritzy, we can add a vegan meal and an iconic cinema experience to this list of inseparable duos.
