Lets try and keep this civil people. The meat eaters versus vegans thing has been done to death. Most of the board have nothing new to add. If you feel compelled to reply telling us how you're knee deep in chicken wings that is entirely your choice.
Anyone doing it? Just tried the new Costa vegan 'cheese' and 'ham' toastie. I hope they keep it. It's good enough to for me to choose regularly.
Any decent product suggestions? Recipe ideas? etc [Post edited 5 Jan 2020 13:41]

Though a week or two off the pop is probably a good idea for some peeps, for your mental state as much as anything. As far as food goes, I don't really get why people can't stick to a sensible diet all year round except for the obvious cluster of celebration dates that happen around Xmas. |
Look, that would involve actually making REAL lifestyle choices rather than spending a month in social media bragging about it then seeing in February with with 18 pints, a bag of haribo and a bloody great big bacon sandwich. |  |

Nah he's just so repetitive and dull. It isn't lost on me though that I asked for people to be civil and then wasn't. Guess I had better apologise.
*grits teeth* apologies.
Thanks for the milk suggestion Ryorry. I love Oatly's oat milk. Only had the barista version so far but it's the best i've tried. If chrisswailes recommends hemp milk you should ignore him! It's vile. | |

'Eat and drink sensibly all year round' is 'edgy' now. Blimey, now I REALLY don't understand you kids. | |

Yeah, hemp milk is so vile it doesn't matter who makes it, it's always the same degree of horrible!
I don't mind oat milk, but prefer to get away from grain drinks where I can, as I eat so much bread, wheat & oat biscuits on a regular basis.
I do think Badger has a point actually - it's always better to stick with a good diet that you also enjoy year-round, rather than go with brief fads (not saying that veganism is a fad for those who want to commit to it, but some people will try anything for a short period in the hope that it'll bring about some sort of health & weight-shedding "miracle"). | |

That's it. Just choose the part of your post that doesn't make you look a bell. | |

Of course he has a point. Veganism is becoming more popular by the year though, not just in January. Many people try and eat well all year round. That's partly what the previous threads have been based on. Quality healthier meat, dairy alternatives etc etc. | |

There is a correlation between the number of vegans in the UK and Towns performance.
You know what you need to do..... |  | | |

I'm not vegan. Just enjoy the novelty value of eating a bit differently for a month. | |

And support your local Farmer!
What is it with all these flouncy vegan recipes? |  | | |

Here is my two pennorth; almost all vegan fast food/take away food is spoiled by being too spicy. Restaurant food is in general ok in Pizza Express and so forth. |  |

Why has nobody pointed out it’s 2020? Come on J2, sort it out.
Veganism is tough, I’ve tried it before and really struggled to be truly vegan. Adopting a plant based diet isn’t the hard bit, it’s the not wearing leather shoes / belts and no dairy i find very hard especially with a tea or coffee. And the odd little things, like honey which technically isn’t vegan. I find it far too limiting and quite frankly a little OTT for me.
Veggie I can do. I had a year without meat a few years back, and since then although I’ve reintroduced it I eat much less meat than I did before, and definitely favour no legs or 2 legs over 4.
I’ve got some great recipes, I’ll DM them tomorrow |  |

I had the KFC Vegan burger yesterday as was intrigued, was decent enough and wouldn’t worry about having one again.
I’d find vegan way too difficult with regards to dairy and eggs and not willing to be committed to it, it seems such an extreme and challenging way to go for a month but fair play anyone that can.
Will try and do more veggie days this year, but any more than that is beyond my capabilities and effort levels when eating as part of a family |  |

I had one of their other varieties of shroomdog and was not at all keen. Their smoky jackfruit burgers on the other hand were right nice. |
The jackfruit burrito from tortilla is their best product but that says more about how rubbish tortilla is I suppose but the jackfruit burrito is enjoyable | | | |

Saw the queues for the new Greggs vegan slice... round the block!
As for recipes, I usually make Indian food for my vegan/veggies pals as it's relatively simple to do and doesn't require fake meat of any kind. Veg curries, daals, etc. Also a good excuse to load up your cupboards with spices.
Dunno if there's a Leon in Ipswich but the vegan lad at work goes there fairly often and their vegan options look pretty good. [Post edited 4 Jan 2020 12:19]

I’d imagine Thai curries to be pretty good for this sort of thing too given they’re typically done with coconut milk? |  |

Most non-Western food is often light on dairy and meat to be fair, or can easily be made to be so. |  |

So far I’ve had...
Greggs Steak Bake - Not great warm, but nice when cold.
Waitrose Meat Feast - OMG STRINGY CHEESE SO GOOD.
Probably gonna go have the new meatball Subway and Costa toastie this week.
There’s really no excuse to say being vegan is too hard or expensive in 2020. |  |
