London vegan news, reviews & events
This impressed me. Not the products themselves, rather the label.
A recent trip to Tesco was interrupted by a sighting of the word ‘vegan’ shouting at me from behind a closed freezer door. It appears not only are Tesco product developers smartening up to the demand for plant-based foods, they have also realised the ‘v’ word is a desirable thing to place front and centre of a packet.
Here’s a super quick post to let you know superstar vegan brand So Delicious has been spotted popping up around the UK.
I grabbed the chocolate coconut milk you see below from a Planet Organic store in London and there have been reports of their other milk products surfacing around the country.
Do you ever buy the Dairy Free Sunflower Spread from Marks and Spencer? I wrote about the awesome vegan labelling of this product a year ago, but things seem to have changed since then.
It is no longer labelled as vegan. What gives?
My partner Josh reached out to the company via Twitter to see if he could get some answers. This is what he was told:
It happens all the time, right?
You are in Central London and suddenly you are in desperate need of an entire vegan chocolate cake. What a dilemma!
I’m thrilling myself by buying all the vegan groceries here in New York.
Check out my latest haul in the photos below.
I’m in NYC so that means all the vegan food.
The photos below detail my haul of snacks from my first night in Manhattan.
Don’t be jealous!
I spotted these boxes of vegan cereal in my local Sainsbury’s and I wanted to find out what people think of them.
I bought the golden syrup version and I wasn’t super impressed. It was a bit meh. Should I bother investing in any of the other flavours? Would you recommend that I try one in particular?
Josh is busy sunning himself in Florida, leaving me to fight for my very existence as snow sweeps across London. I am calling last night’s light dusting Snowmaggedon in an attempt to make him feel guilty for abandoning me for the sunshine.
Of course, Josh cares not. In fact, he is creating further hardship by emailing photos of vegan food he is seeing, buying and eating.
Check out this chiller display in a nearby grocery store. All that Tofurky boggles the mind.
