Vegan BA meal in flight

If you come around these parts of the Internet often, you will know that I enjoy showing you the vegan food I am served by airlines in my column called Food in the air.

This latest post highlights the two meals I was served during my recent British Airways flight between London and Mexico City.

As you will see from the photos below, one meal was the standard meal handed out to vegans while the other was close to non-existent.

Donuts are life

Facebook can be a tiresome place to hangout.

If you spend a lot of time on the social network, it can feel like you are learning a whole lot of information you really don’t want to know. My friends’ reaction to the latest Star Wars film nearly made me jump ship.

But occasionally the good ol’ FB gives us some truly valuable information. Specifically, where we can buy and eat gorgeous vegan donuts like these.

I saw the above photo posted on Facebook, so I wasted no time in reaching out to the poster to find out more info.

Lisa got back to me super quick with A LOT of details on what she is up to donut-wise. Scotland, you are in luck.

By now you’ve probably all read about how much FGV enjoyed the Napfényes chain of restaurants when we were in Budapest recently. I wholeheartedly agree that it was probably the tastiest food I’ve been served in Europe. However, I wanted to try some of the other vegan food in Budapest so I dragged a reluctant FGV along to Kozmosz one morning to see if Napfényes could be improved upon…

Only UK vegan pizzeria

Have you made an effort to visit the only 100% vegan pizza restaurant in the UK?

Photos are starting to flow out of Purezza in Brighton and they are making me feel kinda sad that I’m on the other side of the world. I wonder if they deliver to Mexico?

The restaurant offers a huge range of about 20 pizzas and the menu includes such delicacies as four cheese pizza and chocolate calzone.

Keep scrollin’, scrollin’, scrollin’ to see some of the good stuff.

ANOTHER vegan shop opens in UK

Cardiff. It’s your turn.

When news reached me of a 100% vegan grocery shop in Cardiff, I was ecstatic. The march of plant-based consumerism is fabulous news for our animal friends and compassionate people in Wales can now shop until they drop.

I reached out to Simply V co-founder Spencer to find out a little bit of inside information on his store:

Vegan bakery

Mexico City is intensely invested in vegan food. It is everywhere.

Street food vendors? Pizza shops? Ice cream parlours? Yes, yes and hell to the yes!

Mexico City has all of this and more. I would even boldly suggest the mega-city is up there with the untouchable plant-based locations of Portland, Austin, Berlin and Los Angeles.

Vegan food is such a serious concern here in Mexico City, you can even shop in a 100% vegan and gluten free bakery.

Check out these photos from my visit to Pan Gabriel in the leafy Condesa neighbourhood.

Vegan and not vegan

This is the first time in all of my years as a professional overeater that I have seen the following.

What is the point in packaging two clearly-labelled-as-vegan products in the same box as a non-vegan product? Check this out.
