    I didn't have saffron so I substituted some tumeric instead and a little chili powder because I like a little bit of heat. I didn't have artichoke hearts or asparagus so I used whatever other veg I had. I made the sofrito linked in the article first and took my time with the paella. I got the paella rice in Tesco.

    This will be my Christmas dinner 2020.

    Don't really want to start a thread so I'll just stick this here.

    This cheese is outrageously good. Gave it to a few at work and some said it was actually better than dairy.

    That's where I got it. I had a laugh. They were seriously shocked at how good it is. Me too.
    Combine it with Dennys' meat free burgers and you could fool anyone.

    I find it a lot nicer than the Violife.
    The Tesco Applewood and Tesco own brand chili cheeses are nice too.

    That cheese is indeed excellent, perfect texture. A bit coconutty on it's own but perfect in things.


    My fave is the smoked applewood sliced cheese, delicious and melts really well.

    Texture wise it is lovely. But do you not get the coconut taste coming through?..that brings it down a star and a half for me.

    Haha, have a blast it's very simple:

    Ingredients:
    - 1 tub of vegan mascarpone (got in @thecarrotstail ), alternatively 1 block silken tofu
    - 1 lemon
    - 1 tub of elmea double plant cream, alternatively coconut cream
    - Icing sugar, according to taste
    - Cinnamon
    - Rum or rum aroma
    - Coffee
    - Biscuits (used digestive but vegan lady fingers are ideal if you can find them, maybe online?)

    1) Whip the cream. This can take ages with a handheld whisk. Life hack - put it in a jar with some air and shake it for a few minutes instead.
    2) Mix mascarpone with the lemon juice, cinnamon and icing sugar.
    3) Fold them into each other.

    Mix the rum with coffee, dip biscuits in it one by one as you use them. This needs a lot of coffee/rum as it will weaken in the final product.

    Layer a row of biscuits then cream, etc as tall as you want. Finish with a layer of cream (and pour remaining coffee/rum on it) and pour cocoa over the top. Put in the fridge overnight. Et voilà.

    I have a piece in my mouth as I post this, just to be sure>< , but no I actually can't. I'm smacking as much as I can, on second piece now, and....nope. Tastes great to me. It has been over three years though...I'm going in for a third piece. ;)

    Looks great Tar.Aldarion!

    My humble efforts pale in comparison.

    Brekkie
    Chocolate weetabix, walnuts and almonds ( good for calcium), mixed seeds especially sesame ( calcium) and mixed berries with Tesco unsweetened soy ( €1.50 good value ).
    -I had a look at Flahavans' milk but doesn't have added calcium so a pass for me.

    Celery soup ( onion and garlic base obvs. ) with tofu and Alpro single ( cream ).
    After squeezing water out I 'marinated ' tofu in veg stock and 2tbls soy about 20mins and added all to soup thereafter for cooking. I took most out before blending then put back in.
    Cream at end.

    I had these as a snack since I ate dinner far too early (spirallizer twisty fries in the air fryer and double vegan cheeseburger - tasty but lacked fibre).

    2 of those Tesco wholemeal pittas done in the microwave until softened then filled with a huge dollop of hummus and pickled cabbage, with some onion salt to taste. My go to power snack (a beastly 15g of fibre).

    I haven't made this yet, but i will and it looks incredibly easy and delicious!

    BBQ Chickpea Tacos

    https://honestcooking.com/bbq-chickpea-tacos/

    BBQ sauce is never a thing i buy, i just don't have a use for it, but i never thought of putting it on chickpeas. Perfect!

    I will use the small wholemeal wraps from Dunnes, they are really good.

    It's a farmer trying to wind someone up because they hate vegans, I don't know why this is tolerated.

    Such an inflammatory post, no need to use that kind of language.
