Best crumble

by

How often do you find a vegan crumble with custard in a London pub?

If you answered, “Never FGV, never!” I would believe you and act extremely sympathetic. The lack of vegan pub desserts in the capital is close to a disgrace. An emergency, if you will.

Thankfully, the Old Ship W6 is here to elevate our compassionate pudding experience.

Not only is this pub serving up one of the items on my ‘top 13 vegan things to consume in London list’, they are also offering this seasonal dessert that would surely satisfy most anyone.

At least a few times a week I am asked to name my favourite, must-eat vegan dishes in London.

The list of food and drink I can’t live without in the capital changes now and again, but here is the current crop of things that make me go “Yummers!” in London.

Get ready to work your way through Fat Gay Vegan’s Top 13 Things to Consume in London.

Vegan jellies

by

A lot of great food and drink happened to me in Leeds during my recent trip north, including this cup of gorgeous fruit tea with vegan jellies.

I was walking through a small shopping arcade when I was shocked by the sight of the ‘v’ word. You know that little thrill mixed with panic you experience when you see ‘vegan’ written somewhere unexpected?

iocha bubbletea is an independent bubble and fruit tea outlet in Leeds city centre. Their collection of vegan jellies for adding to the teas is extensive and the servers were only too happy to indulge my need for conversation. I was so excited, I chatted them up for ages about how fab their shop was while they just smiled and made drinks for customers.

How much is too much?

by

I like to buy vegan food and I have the perfect excuse. This blog.

When I see something new in the supermarket, I usually justify the expense by telling myself I have a duty to my readers to share the information.

It is rare for something I want to not end up in my shopping basket and you are all to blame!

But yesterday I hit a wall. Would you pay the asking price for these seasonal chocolates? I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

That time of year

by

It is time.

The leaves have turned, the wind is whistling and Caffè Nero has started selling its vegan mince pie.

I picked up my first mince pie of the season at the Caffè Nero in Richmond today.

Releasing a vegan mince pie is now seemingly a yearly tradition for the coffee chain.

Have you tried one this year?

Vegan icing

by

Need quick and simple icing for cake decorating purposes? Of course you do!
Pop into your local Sainsbury’s for these squeezy tubes of convenience.

Both tubes have the word ‘vegan’ printed on the reverse and both can be found in the baking section of the supermarket. As you can see in the photo, the tubes come with three piping nozzles for creating designs and lettering.

Have you tried these cake toppings?
