Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Any suggestions for the best web site for veg*n news & views? A few years back I liked vegsourse but gone off that one. Any good UK ones? Air France gave us butter in our meals except for the way back where the catering was done by someone else. The French are so unapologetic (or not to generalise, the Air France staff). They also have the narrowest seats I've come across with very little leg room. Old plane too. Thailand was quite easy for our Vegan needs. Phad Thai (rice noodles) was awesome, with new favours. Tamarind and lime juice in lots of their cooking. Their green curries were SO HOT, but so tasty I'd eat it no mater what. Bean-curd was relatively easy to find. My only warning to people going there is not to drink their soya milk as it's often " fortified " with cows milk or ambiguous. Hope you all had a great new year and Christmas. As we were away for Christmas, we avoided that inevitable family meal where all that is discussed is you know what. Rowan & Becky --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 As if any of us needs to be convinced. What we need to do is publicise this to those who need to know! xxk@xx On Monday, Jan 13, 2003, at 14:36 Europe/London, Oliver Slay wrote: > how much dead sheep ... dead chickens ... turkeys.... cows ... are > processed through the supermarkets each day .... > > I think this would paint a most disturbing picture of modern humanity > .... > > > > > > > Rowan McCartney [be99rnm] > Hope you all had a great new year and Christmas.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 It'd be fantastic to get 'reliable' info and then we can really let roll (think, massive colour posters, etc) I'm for it - now how do we find out I wonder? Maybe someone knows someone 'in the business'? Once we get the info then maybe we can all help design posters and mount a national campaign?! Can I just ask about Tofu? I have been having it the last couple of weeks and I enjoy it, I break it up and use it in sauces but are there other ways of using it? Thanks and Happy New Year to all!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Nick asked about Tofu... it's great (stir-)fried with strong flavours (it loves soy sauce, ginger, garlic etc...) and is the staple for scrambled-egg replacement in the full-vegan breakfast - mash it up with a fork, fry it with a spot of vegan 'naisse or just some turmeric and have it with rashers, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms and bubble-n-squeak... mebbe some baked beans over-cooked for that real cheap caff sort of flavour. Diced & raw, it makes for a vegan alternative to feta in greek salads (tried Redwood feta style cheezly over Xmas, it's cheezly in oil, no more no less, so not worth paying more than you would for normal cheezly)... head to your local chinese supermarket and track down Tom-Yum paste for quick, spicy, tasty soups (usually mix some paste with water, add mushrooms / baby corn / carrots / tofu to taste, boil briefly and feed :-) ). N.B: Some Tom-Yum pastes are fish based, but there are definitely veggie alternatives out there. Recent disappointment : The Co-op have now started using lactose in their " chinese " cook-in sauces... and here I was thinking the chinese diet is traditionally rather low in dairy products...
