Gets a bit heavy with data at times but mostly I found it really interesting. Cool to see it from an angle that doesn’t talk about animal cruelty. Animal cruelty is the main reason I’m doing it , but I mean it was great to see a load of other reasons why it’s a good thing to do. Health, economy, environment. Enjoyed it, even though there was some stuff in there I didn’t really agree with. But on the whole it was more reinforcement that I’m doing the right thing (for me) nice, glad you liked it, I agree some bits I took with a pinch of salt, but I found it a really interesting perspective. The argument it puts forward about stopping eating beef is by a mile the best thing you can do to help the environment over any recycling, water limiting etc at home was quite eye opening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soya milk and soya yogurt are lovely. I'm not vegan, I just genuinely prefer them to natural milk and yogurt.

villa_chemist Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Soya milk is nice in coffee, but I haven’t found anything as good as cows milk in tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer almond milk to soya. But I have to agree with the tea statement. There is no way you can make a decent cup of tea with any other milk, it's just horrible on every level without proper milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a no taste philistine and your views have zero validity on this matter. Try spending a fortnight in the Balkans. Strictly Nescafe or Turkish coffee. I miss my Moccamaster badly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 24, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2018 Tried Cauldron Sausages yesterday. Delicious. Definitely a little less juicy than real sausages, but just as tasty. A week down as a veggie and it's been no bother at all. Was even on a stag do on the weekend and managed fine, despite a bit of a ribbing from my mates who were all suitably surprised I'd gone veggie! Definitely starting to notice how little choice there is for vegetarians at certain restaurants and shops. Tried to get a Boots meal deal at the airport on Sunday and there was only one vegetarian sandwich, and that had onion in which is a no go for me. And the bacon sandwiches being eaten by the others on Saturday morning were very tempting, I must admit. Anyway, I don't think I'm going to struggle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you are, check out Chesters. It's a vegetarians dream of a restaurant. Bistro 1847 in Brum is pretty good if you wanna try a veggie place closer to home. In supermarkets your choices of sandwiches will always be egg and cress, and chonion. If you see a Ploughman's, you're in luck Edited July 24, 2018 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of Bistro 1847. There's a new vegan place called Natural bar and Kitchen in Brum that is meant to be really good. Cosy Club have a Vegan menu too. I've not tried it, but the "normal" food there is really good so hopefully the veggie stuff is good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fine dining but decent to have a bite with a coffee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 There's actually 3 of them. Renato Lounge in Mere Green Quinto Lounge in Sutton Verdo Lounge in Wylde Green The one in Lichfield is called Faro Lounge. It's a chain but doesn't feel like one if that makes sense.

Ohhhh, I see what you mean. I have heard of the Mere Green and Sutton ones. I've been to the Quinto Lounge, although not for food. I just didn't realise they were all a group.

If you see a Ploughman's, you're in luck Chesters is a great place to eat and does indeed cater brilliantly for vegetarian and vegans. Love it there even though I always forget about it when thinking of places to eat out! Not sure if already been mentioned, but Goodfellas do a vegan pizza which I had for the first time last night and thought it was delicious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes have a brekkie in there if I fancy a change from the spoonys over the way! Edited July 24, 2018 by Xela 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
