Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 vegetarian cheese (as it is called) is normal cheeses with non animal rennit...so it is vegetarian because of this...vegetarian means we don`t cut the throats, we just steal their kids and suck their breasts _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Hi there, Yes, the vegetarian cheese is NOT vegan, but there are some cheeses here that are; " Cheezly " for example. There are some other sorts as well, but I usually buy the Cheezly-ones. I can recommend it if you like to have a vegan cheese alternative, you can get it with garlic and bacon(!) flawour as well. The bacon one got me a bit afraid that the flawour actually come from meat, but I've been insured that it's not! Don't you have anything like that where you live? Do you have soya milk or soya icecream & similar things? LOVE Sandra _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Hi Sandra, Portugal used to be vegan's hell, but it is rapidly changing. We can now get soy ice-cream, milk, cream, etc., vegan pizzas and all sorts of ready made meals. But vegan cheese is still missing. Thank you for your suggestions. Could you tell me if I can buy any of those products through the internet?

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 I prefer Scheese especially the Edam,Gouda and mozzerella. - " Sandra Pehrsson " <sandrapehr <vegan-network > Friday, March 16, 2001 4:12 PM Re: vegetarian cheese > Hi there, > Yes, the vegetarian cheese is NOT vegan, but there are some cheeses here > that are; " Cheezly " for example.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Hi Joanna, I'll try to check it up for you, it might be possible to buy the cheese from internet. The only thing is how it can be send to you, it needs to be refridgerated (right spelling?). I'm glad to hear that you are able to get some vegan food down there as well. How is it with eating out? Do they have a good selection of vegan food in the restaurants? LOVE Sandra _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Hi, Is Scheese the little compact white round one? I've tried that one (if it is!). It's the only one they had available in Sweden when I lived there and I like that one to, but think Cheezly tastes more and melts a bit better!

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Cheezly definately is the best melter...as I said before...if you grate cheezly in to a bowl, add a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil, some yeast pate (or chopped onions, stuffed olives, red pepper, etc), mix it all up and then spread it onto two slices of bread (to avoid burning try and cover all the bread). Grill untill it until it bubbles lots but doesn`t char, then fold the two pieces together and toast both outsides. Finally a little bit of " pure " (my fav) marg on top and serve to your delighted relish!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I sent this message to another of my groups this morning - they were actually discussing cheese, so it was timely. However, I think we all need to be reminded of this once in a while - especially for when weÕre eating outside our own homes. Not to rain on anyone's parade, but we're at the beginning of a new year and we have new members who may be new to vegetarianism. So here's aunty's word of caution: Remember, not all cheeses are vegetarian - they are a milk product, but other ingredients which go into the making of the cheese have traditiionally been from dead-animal sources. Especially problematic for all vegetarians is rennet in cheese. Rennet (from a calf's stomach usually) has the enzyme rennin, considered necessary by many cheese makers for a good cheese. Some cheese makers now use a vegetable source, but many traditional, old-time cheese makers and connoisseurs insist that rennet makes a cheese of better flavour and consistency. For a (no doubt partial) list of cheeses made without extracts from parts of dead animals, see the following: http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~veggie/nonveg/cheese.html They note: " Remember to check the ingredient list of the cheese if you're not sure. Look out for rennet or enzymes. Many packaged cheeses and other foods contain Vitamin A Palmitate, which is made from fish gelatin. Also, check for whey, since this is a byproduct of the cheese-making process " [and may therefore be non-vegetarian]. For more info on Rennet (for those who are new to vegetarianism and don't know) see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rennet For lists of animal products in foods, see: http://www.cyberparent.com/eat/hiddenanimalsinfood.htm http://www.happycow.net/health-animal-ingredients.html There are lots of other sites - some in our Links folder - for animal-free foods and warnings about hidden animal products. It's not difficult to find out what we need in order to keep to our vegetarian (or vegan) lifestyle. Finding the right product, however, can be quite another matter, eh?

And besides the awful fact of eating not just an animal but a *baby* animal, supporting the rennet industry directly supports the veal industry, because they come from the same place. (This was one of the things that put me off dairy in general, by the way. The realization that a milk cow is a milk cow because she's given birth and her calf has been turned to veal.) > For lists of animal products in foods, see: > http://www.cyberparent.com/eat/hiddenanimalsinfood.htm > http://www.happycow.net/health-animal-ingredients.html Excellent links! I notice the first one says of isinglass " rarely used now " and I'm not sure that's true. There are a couple of links that have alcohol that is certified vegetarian (i.e. isinglass is not used) and I'd think isinglass must still be fairly common to have to make a list like that. Here are the links, by the way: Vegan Wine Guide http://vegans.frommars.org/wine/ Vegetarian Beers http://homepage.ntlworld.com/geraint.bevan/Vegetarian_beers.html (I'm still in mourning after learning that Guiness is not vegetarian.)

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 This is such a good point. One other thing I just found out because one of our major grocery stores started posting these signs on the produce. " Produce (then a list like apples, cubumbers, green, red peppers etc) coated with rennet or petroleum products to preserve freshness... Yikes! I try to stay organic as the budget allows!

I knew about wax and petroleum but didn't know about rennet! Thanks! My husband always complains about the produce section of the store where I shop because the produce doesn't look " sexy " like it does at the big chain grocery and you always have to check to make sure you're not getting a spoiled item, but I love it because it's not waxed up, much of it is organic, and much of it is locally grown. As if that weren't great enough, it's consistently cheaper than the local Farmer's Market! Sparrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Sexy huh lol That was cute. I try to buy organic root veggies and veggie that do not get peeled. I can't afford to buy all organic. I always buy organic carrots, because i juice them with out peeling. I try to grow basic herbs my self and tomatoes. I freeze what I can for the winter ( not much). It is so scary to think of all the bad stuff they do to good food. They should put warning labels. I think that all these hormones, chemicals is one of reasons cancer and obesity along with fast puberty is so large.
