On a couple of threads recently, we've referenced how vegans seem to be ... unpleasantly evangelical, lets say? The wife of one of my nephews has had a medical recommendation to eat vegan for a month or so, to deal with a bit of an allergy in her new baby (don't ask me about the specifics of that, I've no idea).
I'm writing because the recommendation has finished now, and she had a few products unopened that she passed on to me, as a vegetarian. I opened the "cheese" today, its this stuff:
https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/p ... /305972822 £2.60 for 200g, so not hugely more expensive than say, feta.
The thing is, it's disgusting
I don't eat much processed food - the most processed things I eat are probably jars of pesto and tins of baked beans, so most processed foods eg supermarket pizzas, taste awful to me. If this is what vegans are eating, no wonder they're grouchy.
This thing is a substitute for cheese: but it's 24% coconut oil. I'm really sad too, because it's made in Thessaloniki, and the Greeks are still in a fairly bad place economically. But this won't get them out of it
So… a day in the greenhouse,a day cutting and stacking a humongous haul of firewood ( this will be Winter 23/24), a day brewing hooch and making chutney and pickles, a day with the toolbox doing general repairs etc. and two days fishing. Not forgetting that my days will NOT be starting at 4.30 in the sodding morning!
