Party people have been approaching me for weeks wanting to know what I have planned for the biggest night of the year.
Well, here you go.
NYE with FGV 2014/2015 is ready for blast off.

13th Note Glasgow
I am slowly working my way through reporting back to you on the vegan wonders of Glasgow. I can see why it has often been named ‘Best vegan UK city’. The place is absolutely heaving with vegan-friendly eateries.
Take The 13th Note as one example.
This vegetarian cafe is primarily a live music venue, but food certainly doesn’t take a back seat. My group ate extremely well as you will notice from the photos below.
One night only
Manchester, here is something fun and tasty for you to take part in next week. For people reading this from other parts of the country and the world, organise cool vegan events like this!
A group called The Flanagan Collective is presenting a super fun-sounding dinner show with a tasty vegan menu. You can enjoy an interactive performance of one of the most-loved traditional tales as you eat and drink.
Sounds fun!
Read below for the finer details about the event, including the menu:
Chocolate forever
This is my second post about chocolate within a week, but I am unrepentant. Chocolate is worth covering twice in a seven day period. I’ll fight whoever says it isn’t.
I’m not sure what I have been doing with my life to somehow let this gorgeous brand of chocolate slip past me. Have you tried any of the vegan flavours listed below? (Be warned: it is a long list and will kickstart your cravings in a major way)
Warm tofu salad
Many UK vegans are used to relying on chain restaurant Wagamama when they are out and about. With more than 100 locations around the country, it seems you are never too far from one of these pan-Asian outlets.
I have previously featured a brief post about the Wagamama chain in which Josh gave his opinion on the plant-based offerings. You can read that here or keep scrolling down this page to see the brand new vegan dish added to the menu.
New vegan chocolate company
Hey, chocolate lovers. Here is some fab news.
There is a new vegan chocolate company in the UK and you can order their decadent bars online for delivery.
Check it out.
Paris adventure
Here is a first.
A blog post recommending delicious vegan food based on one of my journeys, but with no photos.
Why no photos? Let me explain.
Burger and salad
Here is a quick post from Paris about a fabulous vegan burger restaurant with two locations.
Actually, M.O.B. is a chain with three locations. Two of these are situated in Paris while the original is in Brooklyn, U.S.A.
My trip a few nights back to the Rue Charlot location in Paris was a tremendous success. Every part of the experience was gorgeous, from the food all the way to the decor. The person taking my order talked me through the entire menu and I couldn’t have been happier with the service.
Check out the photo below of my delicious smoked burger, kale salad and beer.
I would recommend this as a wonderful place to get 100% vegan food anytime you are in Paris. I wanna go back now!
Visit the M.O.B. website to see all their locations, menus and opening times.
Vegan mince pies
It is the time of year when people start eating things they would otherwise not consider eating.
Take the humble fruit mince pie as an example.
This unusual blend of dried fruits, spices, sugar and pastry is a staple at the end of the year. People eat them as snacks, buy them to go with their cup of tea and even give boxes of the things to friends and family. Fruit mince pies are everywhere but only as we approach the frenzy of Christmas. If people love these things so dearly, why aren’t they eaten year round?
Now one of the biggest coffee shop chains in the UK has joined the festive food frenzy by selling a vegan version of this traditional snack.
Vegan food in Exeter
I’ve never been to Exeter. I don’t think. I would remember if I had been to Exeter in my life, right?
I’m pretty certain I have never been to Exter in Devon but if I wanted to go, I now know of two pubs that each have a vegan menu for me to work my way through.
The Farmers Union and The Twisted Oak are two pubs owned by the same people and fortunately for the vegans and vegan-curious of the region, these people have decided to add an entire selection of vegan meals to their menus.
Check it out!
