'Veggie Planet' is no more :(

I was at the market in dun laoghaire today (haven't been in ages) and disappointed to see that 'veggie planet' have stopped using their name and now serve chicken curry

They still have most of the same dairy free spring rolls, etc., but big signs everwhere advertising the meat. I wonder what got into them.

Karuna's kitchen seem to be there now too (that govinda's type stand from temple bar market). But I think they use a lot of feta and paneer... good for veggies anyhow.

Yeah I haven't been there in a good few weeks myself, but remember noticing the last time I was there that they'd started making a few chicken dishes. I don't know why they'd just decide out of the blue to start making meat dishes. Very disappointing:(

the need to make a profit? It can't be easy selling only veggie products, I imagine it's borne out of need rather than greed.

yeah true. It's just strange to go out of your way to make vegetarian/vegan food, market yourself as a vegetarian/vegan food vendor and then go make a load of meat dishes. I suppose it's all just strategic change.
Still saddening for the likes of us
