Vegan

[Sqad]

To try and save the planet and after years of TV adverts.......I tried vegan sausages.

Bloody awful, tasteless although they did look like sausages.

I don't want to know how animals are killed......I will never be avegan.

Some meat sausages are bloody awful and so are some vegan. Some are okay, some are quite tasty

[pat2604]

I always wonder, Sqad, why vegan and Veggie foods are made from resemble meat eaters food, like sausages and burgers with the claim that they taste the same!

[naomi24]

‘Cauldron’ sausages are good sqad. I had some at a bbq and they tasted so nice I asked what brand they were. I had no idea they were vegetarian.

[Stickybottle]

Try the Linda McCartney range
Especially the burgers
I seriously could not tell that they were not meat

I am not vegetarian btw

[pat2604]

Made to resemble

[pat2604]

Why should food for people who don't eat meat taste like meat!! That's just plain daft to me!

[Sqad]

Thanks folks but once bitten.......etc.

[barry1010]

Pat, a lot of vegans enjoyed eating meat before and very much miss it. They didn't choose to be vegan because they don't like eating meat

As a comedian once said :
Because meat is murder and murder tastes pretty damn good !

What are organic farmers going to use for fertiliser if we get rid of all our food-animals?

[tiggerblue10]

Which ones did you try, Sqad? Some of them taste awful but the Richmond meat free ones are good. Even son likes them and he usually hates meat free products.

[barry1010]

bhg, they are already using human waste

[Sqad]

tigger...........Tesco's.

If we get rid of farm animals, what are we going to use to feed our dogs?

[tiggerblue10]

I tried the tesco ones and didn't like them at all.

As I said the Richmond ones are quite good. Burger wise, the Beyond burger is delish but a bit pricy. Co-ops 'GRO The Incredible Burger' is delicious too and cheaper.

[bhg481]

I avoid organic food wherever possible; the source of fertiliser makes me even more determined to avoid it.

[barry1010]

Most organic farms use animal manure

[ToraToraTora]

barry, fair enough but why are we importing it? There is plenty of home grown surely!

[ToraToraTora]

anyway, if god didn't want us to eat animals why did he make them out of meat?
