Xela Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Went to Natural Bar & Kitchen, a vegan bar and restaurant, in Brum on Friday. Its opposite the Mailbox. my vegan mate treated me to 'fish' and chips aka battered tofu and chips. It was really nice to be honest. Obviously not as nice as proper fish but surprisingly good! Very similar texture to battered halloumi. Also noticed most vegans tend to be female so there was a good ratio of women to blokes in there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word to the wise, lots of vegans are skinny blokes with long hair and a sarong. You don’t want to find an unexpected sausage in amongst the veg any more than they do. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm **** strange. I walk into a vegan restaurant and they all duck under the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Quote A MALE Pizza Express customer punched a female vegan activist in the face after a group of protesters stormed a restaurant last night. Activists walked into the pizzeria in Brighton holding up photos of animals saying "I want to live" and shouting "it's not food, it's violence". https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10037496/pizza-express-customer-punches-female-vegan-activist-pizza-express-brighton/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gently fry finely chopped garlic and ginger in oil, add lots of ground black pepper, sichuan pepper, cumin, chile, then add lots of light and dark soy sauce, ketcap manis, a touch of vinegar, and simmer for a while, 15 mins or so, adding a little water if needed. Add the fried tofu to the sauce just to warm through, and serve wih rice and veg. I do this half and half with tofu, and cubed pork belly, fried until ligntly browned then set aside and added to the sauce a bit before the tofu to finish cooking through. Because veganism has its limits, and pork belly is the food of champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get some tofu on a plate, put some spices on it according to own preference, little salt, little pepper, and then you throw that shit in the bin. Trust me, works great!

You get the tofu, drop kick it across the garden into next doors land and get some real food out instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
