Ep 94 – Vegan Food In Romania

by

This week’s episode of the podcast was shot on location in Brasov, Romania!

Well, my part of it was. Gil and I enjoyed a few days in Romania so this week I discuss what the vegan food scene is like in Brasov. I had a few great meals and was bowled over by number of vegan products available in the supermarket.

Josh and I also share our thoughts on the Devil Wears Prada 2. I enjoyed it whereas Josh was much more critical!

We also chat a bit about the recent local elections that took place around the UK and what the results mean. We are not experts but we like to give our opinions!

So Many Vegan Groceries in Romania

by

I am currently I’m Brasov, Romania.

People told me I would have a difficult time as a vegan and while there aren’t any completely vegan restaurants, I haven’t struggled at all really.

Yesterday I took a stroll through the Carrefour supermarket and was blown away by the amazing selection of vegan groceries. it was far beyond what I expected to see.

Huge fridges of vegan cheese, so many vegan milks, and a seemingly endless selection of plant based products. My head was swimming!

Too Good To Go mystery bag for a fiver

by

Too Good To Go is an app through which businesses sell food and groceries that is close to or on its best before date.

The app helps business make a little bit more revenue on food that would otherwise be trashed if left unsold, gives consumers a chance to save a few quid, and works to direct food away from being wasted or tossed in landfill.

The app allows you to search by map and by keywords. Today I located a small grocery store near Kings Cross that was offering a £5 mystery bag that was labelled as vegan with a retail value of more than £15.

Wanna see what I got?

I’ve made a big fuss on my blog recently about how I don’t celebrate Christmas (read here), but one thing I can get behind is vegan Christmas groceries getting heavily discounted after the date.

I popped into Sainsbury’s in Angel, London yesterday for a few essentials only to be distracted by these cheap Christmas foods.

Take a look at all nine items below.

First up are these vegan pigs in blankets which, for the uninitiated, are sausages wrapped in bacon. They have been marked down from £4.50 to £2.25.
