A Blog Post About Absolutely Nothing
I have absolutely nothing to blog about today.
Not a thing. Nada. Zilch. I sat down in front of my laptop, stared at the screen for a bit, drank a cup of tea, stared at the screen some more, and then admitted the obvious. No inspiration. Not a single crumb of content. But here we are. You’re reading this. I’m typing this. We’re both involved now, so let’s make the best of it.

15 Years Of Vegan London: From DIY Potlucks To Corporate Takeovers
Fifteen years ago when I started this very blog, if you wanted to be social as a vegan in London you had to make it happen yourself. There were no vegan pubs and certainly no high street chains with dedicated plant-based menus.
This wilderness forced me to launch London Vegan Drinks, a monthly gathering where we carved out a space for ourselves in a world that barely acknowledged we existed. London Vegan Potluck was another community-driven event I curated, where people cooked and shared food because there weren’t many places to eat out.
Back then, if you wanted a vegan meal, you might get lucky at Pogo Café in Hackney (if they were open and serving something edible) or a measly number of eateries that weren’t always great. Other than that, it was whatever scraps you could cobble together from independent health food stores and Holland & Barrett. There were no vegan ready meals, hardly any supermarket own-brand plant milks, and certainly no Gregg’s vegan sausage rolls.
Then the independent vegan revolution happened. Slowly at first and then rapidly.
Foraging Wild Food Walk London
Hey London, are you looking for a new experience? Perhaps something off the beaten path?
You can join wild food enthusiast, Ken Greenway, for a foraging experience at the amazing award-winning Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park this February!
Ken will share his love and deep knowledge of foraging and will introduce you to the everyday plants you can eat, opening your eyes to a new world of possibilities and flavours. He will share his knowledge of seasonal wild foods as well as where and when to pick them.
These outdoor adventures in foraging happen semi-regularly throughout the year and are curated by food security charity Made In Hackney with the next date scheduled for Saturday February 15, 2025.
Let me tell you a little more information and show you where to book.
Get Squeaky In UK Supermarkets
I haven’t done any sort of supermarket product update in a while but this news certainly got me in the mood to share with you all.
I’ve documented my appreciation of the Squeaky Bean brand quite a bit over on my Instagram account and have even collaborated with the brand on a few pieces of content.
They sell really fab, ready-to-eat meat alternatives that are filling a big gap in UK supermarkets… and my belly.
The latest products to join the Squeaky family are these sandwich-friendly Tofu Slices.
Available in either Spinach & Basil or Red Pepper & Tomato, these slices are ready to go and will improve your sandwich game.
But where can you buy them?
