Calm down with your Vego bars. I’ve got No No’s.
Time for one of my bolder-than-fudge proclamations. Are you ready? No No’s are the best vegan candy product in the world.
But what are they?
I love sugar
Vegan jam jar
This is a super quick post to ask a question.
Has Hartley’s always labelled their jam jars as suitable for vegans? I only noticed last week and was pleasantly surprised. Have they been doing this for a while? Have you noticed any other mainstream products being labeled recently?
Vegan peppermint slice
Get to your nearest Waitrose store, buy a box of these vegan delights and start eating.
I was waddling through Waitrose in Westfield White City a few days back when my chubby eyes spied an intriguing box of biscuit treats. Of course having the word ‘vegan’ printed on the package meant I hastily tossed them into my basket and trotted happily to the checkout line.
For a gluten free product, the Lazy Day peppermint slice is an outstanding item. Heck, it is a super high standard regardless of the freefrom credentials.
Tasty, crunchy and incredibly difficult to stop eating.

Chocolate by post
One of the taste highlights of the recent vegan show in Kensington Town Hall were the truffles and chocolates crafted by Cocoafeliz. If you were at this event, you probably know exactly what I am talking about. They were a smash hit.
If you didn’t make it along to see this new confectioner in the flesh, I have some good news for you.
Chaos Theorie
As you know, my mates Joe and Jess relentlessly taunt me with photos of their vegan conquests in Berlin.
All the pics they send over get me hot and bothered but I must admit this latest treat takes the cake. Check it out below.
Vegan for miles
Just over a week ago I visited the Specialty & Fine Food Fair held in London Olympia and I am now only getting around to sharing photos of some of the fabulous vegan products I encountered.
I have included social media links for each company, so please feel free to reach out to them and let them know how keen you are to see their products in stores. Some of the products are even available to order online so make sure you do some investigating.
Here we go.
Can’t even
As the title says, I just can’t.
Before you read any further, get your credit card ready and make sure there are no obstacles between you and your phone. You will need to do these things in order to be safe as you RUSH MADLY to place an order for THIS AMAZING PRODUCT.
Chocolate biscuit spread update
Don’t put a jar of chocolate biscuit spread in front of a vegan, tell them it’s vegan and then tell them it isn’t vegan. We will cut you.
Ever since I posted this story about a supposedly vegan bourbon biscuit spread sold by Tesco, my social media has been blowing up with folks telling me they had been informed by the chain that it contained non-vegan ingredients. I decided to dedicate a couple of hours of my life to finding out the truth.
Here is what I was told via a phone message left by a Tesco customer service operator:
Cake liberation front
If you have been following me on Instagram and Twitter these past few days, you would have seen I have been eating everything vegan I could get my hands on in Manchester.
One thing related to veganism that I didn’t eat was this very interesting poster hanging on the notice board of V Revolution.
1066 victory
The reader tips I receive are invaluable. As much as I try to eat every vegan item in the UK, a Fat Gay Vegan can only spread so far.
