Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 They sound interesting at the very least. Finishing off dry January which was an absolute piece of piss. Easy to do when you see a rapid weight gain over Christmas, I suppose. Then again, I’ve done some stupid things drunk but never anything as stupid as signing up for the Great North Run so cant wait to get back on the drink.

Tom 13846 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I'm doing dry & Vegan January. I'm keeping the veganism but I'm looking forward to a drink Dry January has been a piece of piss tbh, a lot of the non alcoholic beer is canny if you're out too. Erdinger/Heineken etc. 'Ghost Ship' tastes just like a proper ale but it's not vegan for some strange reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19824 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 How you getting on with the veganism, Tom? I’ve struggled to stick to it. My Mrs has been fully committed to for environmental reasons for about six months so I eat vegan with her but am veggie about 50% of the time. Cheese is my weakness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13846 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Great, I'm really enjoying & feeling a lot lighter and a lot more energetic. It makes cooking a lot more fun too - as everything feels new at the moment. It makes shopping a lot quicker too as I know there are aisles I can basically skip. I've slipped up once - some crisps I ate had milk in despite having a big V on the side - but it's no big deal really. Some of the vegan cheese is great but the majority is utter shite. I enjoyed the Edam/Mozzarella efforts a lot and we had it on home made pizzas which was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19824 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Vegan milk options are great. I actually prefer oat milk to cows milk now. I’ve found it quite easy to give up eggs too. The vegan cheese is where I struggle with it. They’re getting better but they’re still no replacement for the real thing. At best, the ones I’ve tried are like the worst types of processed cow’s cheese. I’ve tried loads of vegan pizza but am yet to sample one that tastes anywhere near as good as the real thing. I don’t mind eating loads of beans and pulses for protein but I just end up letting the most rancid farts rip, so struggle with it for every meal. The temptation is to eat loads of processed vegan meat substitutes, as some of them are pretty good now, but which I try to avoid as they are often quite high in sodium and other icky stuff.

Dr Gloom 19824 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Any vegan cheese brands you’d recommend? The ones that are coconut based I struggle with but I heard the cashew ones might be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13846 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yeh I love oat milk - but I'll often drink coffee black, especially at work where I don't want attention seeking 'special milk' in the fridge. We made our own pizzas and it was pretty much as good as the same thing tbh. For protein, Tofu is pretty good plus I eat a lot of nuts. Worst comes to worst if I come back from the gym and I'm knackered I'll just eat spoonfuls' of peanut butter I do eat the meat substitutes but not too much. Although the Vivera range from Sainburys is pretty decent. When I was on a veggie diet last year I'd have the quorn pieces a lot - but again, bizarrely not vegan.

Violife is pretty decent but again it's Coconut based, Sainsburys own brand mozarella is good but I think the best we've had is the Cheezly stuff! I think Asda do it but we got a lot of it for nowt from a restaurant where my sistter works. Edit : daiya was great too but its not cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
