The Grapevine (OFF TOPIC CHAT) Part II

loveisdivine

Yay, hopefully pick one up tonight. Is it good? I used to love blue cheese.

Tar.Aldarion

I really liked it, different but really nice. Had spirulina, cashews etc so it also is a lot better for you than other fake cheeses I see. I'd like to try their "cheese" plate!

loveisdivine

Just read the Vegan Ireland thread on after hours. Woops

Tar.Aldarion

To read or not to read.....

Tar.Aldarion

I'd rather avoid the never ending battle with non-reasonable people, feels like this

loveisdivine

I know, I don't know why I even clicked on it. I knew what it was gonna be but somehow I just don't learn.

Tar.Aldarion

Oh I used to write essays in those threads for years, takes a lot of self control when something annoying like that comes up. Ugh. I can really understand having to click in but you inevitably feel worse for it which I have to remember!

Zombienosh

There's a thread about veganism/vegetarianism every few weeks in AH and they always end up the same. some people get so outraged and offended at the idea of someone being a vegetarian.

--LOS--

...but yet this forum is so quiet, they're not the bravest people!

Anyway I feel like I can't say nothing when I know it's there, I feel better to say something, I try to remember that I'm not vegan for a selfish reason so I just feel the need to say something. Head melting though all right

If we wasn't sposed to eat meat then why are they made of bacon?

those banana pancakes..................

loveisdivine

Well didn't make it to Cornucopia. After spending nearly an hour going in circles around town because of roads being closed for the protests, we gave up and came home

Zombienosh

Town was a bit mental alright, Dropped into KC peaches the other night, didn't know the did food other than cakes, but they have a pretty salad bar, I overloaded on some Kale salad and they also had a vegan cake yum.

Zombienosh

That thread........

I can't understand people who really drive home the idea they love animals..........yet eat them?

Tar.Aldarion

damn you sova, i want to go every week :mad:

loveisdivine

Just heard about these new rules for EU restaurants having to state what foods contain particular allergens on the menu. Eggs and milk are on the list, which will be handy. Shame its not all dairy though.

Tar.Aldarion

Ah, nice start, you'd think it would add all dairy though as it's the same problem.


Sova are doing a new years party I see, ticket includes a main and two starters. BYOB haha, cheap drinking then.

loveisdivine

Gonna try again tonight to get into town and buy some cornucopia cheese. Fingers crossed this time!

loveisdivine

Well this time I actually made it to Cornucopia. Unfortunately they said they don't have any cheese, haven't had any for 2 weeks and don't know when they will be having any again

Zombienosh

I've never had this infamous cheese, do they make amazing vegan cheeses or something?

Tar.Aldarion

AH that sucks loveisdivine, pain in the ass to get in there.

They do Zombienosh, they sell blue cheeseand other things to takeaway and serve cheese plates in the restaurant.

BMJD

I bought a few packs of Violife cheese in The Health Store yesterday, it goes really well on homemade pizza and make great toasted cheesy sandwiches.

Tar.Aldarion

Yeah that stuff is great, when I was at the vegetarian day fair thing they were there with all their cheeses, delicious times were had! Yes I would like to try them all. Got their cheese from firehouse pizza this week, nice that it's starting to appear in pizza places.

Just found out Justin Hawkins (of The Darkness) is vegan and looking awfully attractive these days
