Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 Red, what do you do for a living? Angie, I can see where that's coming from. From my experience people are put off buying roo and Croc meat as it's unfamiliar and they associate it with the animal. How weird is our society! Do you have some information on VIVA? I hadn't even heard of them until the F & M special by the BBC. Yofu is what it's called. So Good (Soya milk) are launching lots of Soya-products (in Sainsburys). They already stock some. I think it's by far the best tasting soymilk on the market. I haven't seen ice cream. I get mine from H & B. They are sooo good. Made my own Tofu on the weekend, much nicer than store bought stuff. Cheaper too. > Regards, > > Rowan McCartney angiewright [angiewright] 05 March 2001 13:13 vegan-network sainsbury Its an initiative by Viva to discourage new meats getting a foot hold.Most chains agreed not to stock Kangaroo/crocodile etc.Sainsburies have gone back on that and apparently stockit again [ostrich maybe]I dont differentiate eitherbut we can't keep cow/pig/lamb out because thats what most people eat but per haps we can boycott over exotics.Didnt know they did yoghourts,now I am in a quandry!What about ice cream???

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 Both ASDA and Sainsbury's are doing a 'Swedish glace' - a vanilla, totally vegan ice-cream substitute which is really scrummy, plus it's not that expensive. I agree about Sainsbury's being good on vegan foodstuffs - got some lovely Granose strawberry and Granose banana soya milkshakes from there on Saturday. Quite cheap, about 49p each and great for taking to work with packed lunches. I still think Holland and Barrett are the best I have yet found. They do a few good vegan nutroast type things and some scrumptious stuff in the fridge, plus they have the usual soya mince and chunks (dried and frozen varfieties) and loads of different grains like millet and buckwheat plus the delicious Granovita yeast spreads in metal tubes (try the wild mushroom!) It's a bit dear to shop there all the time but as a treat, it takes the dullness out of usual supermarket attempts. Mark x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 I'm lucky there are 2 independent health stores where I live so I dont have a problem getting the things you mentioned I rarely go to the large super markets as I'm in walking distance of the Co-op and Iceland{and the health stores]I just feel I should encourage super markets that are providing what we want so they continue selling those items and interested people can also buy them.[its also cheaper!!!] - <earthkid26 <vegan-network > Monday, March 05, 2001 7:40 PM Re: sainsbury > Both ASDA and Sainsbury's are doing a 'Swedish glace' - a vanilla, totally > vegan ice-cream substitute which is really scrummy, plus it's not that > expensive.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 The Sainsbury where I live is pathetic...all it has is natural yofu (yummy) and tomor (which I don`t care for much at all)... The Holland and Barret is really pokey, but I get " cheesly " , which grated up and mixed with olive oil, chopped " wild " mushrooms, peppers etc, makes a nice toasty or pizza topping...Another Fav is Granovitas Mayola...I could never handle the plamil egg free mayo!!!...smells like paint!! We have a decent Tesco (well compared to what it used to be), which also stocks cheesly, most yofu stuff, but no swedish glace..I`m not one for processed foods, and I never ate meat or dairy alternatives until our kid was born, but now I`m quite partial to old Linda Mac's Southern Fried Grills, in a bap, with organic salad and Granovitas mayo!!!...yummmmy!! Unfortunately, during rush hour the other day just after I paid the girl on the till, I was horrified to see a can of meatballs coming down the conveyer belt towards me. Mr Big " excuse me, but that isn`t mine " Girl " well take it to customer services and they will give you a refund " Mr Big " I`m sorry, but I`m not going to touch that, meat makes me sick " Girl " oh...um...er " The queue started to get frustrated Girl " um...what if I put it in a bag? " Mr Big (with a smile) " I don`t care what you put it in, meat makes me sick and I`m not having anything to do with it. " Girl " oh...um " The queue were getting more and more frustrated and the girl was beginning to malfunction. Mr Big " If you don`t mind, I`m in a bit of a hurry! " Finally the poor girl had to get up of her till, and walk all the way to customer services with me, wait until someone came, about 2 minutes and then get me my 39p refund. I don`t know what happened to the queue. Mr BIg _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 I think we all need to be more awkward .Sometimes we seem to just keep quiet,or appologise for being the odd one out.By standing up and being noticed it makes it easier for the next vegan. Trouble is', it takes courage and energy that we dont always have.Well done Mr Big - " mr big " <pervyempire <vegan-network > Tuesday, March 06, 2001 1:14 AM Re: sainsbury > The Sainsbury where I live is pathetic...all it has is natural yofu (yummy) > and tomor (which I don`t care for much at all)...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 You're right Big. So Good has vitamin D3 in, du du duuuuuhh! Taken from lanolin from sheep's wool. So strictly it's not Vegan. I wrote to So Good about this and they replied that the wool came from sheep that weren't killed for meat. That doesn't make them (the sheep) happy. I continued to drink it because the amount of wool is minimal and I'm concerned about D3 intake through the winter. There's no F!!cking sun in this country! Plus it's the only Soymilk I like. I make my own now (Tofu too). I prefer that. So Good also said their new launch milk has D2 that is Vegan. What's the difference between D2 and D3? Anyone know??? > Regards, > > Rowan McCartney mr big [pervyempire] 06 March 2001 00:46 vegan-network Re: sainsbury I can`t remember where I read or heard it...but I think there may be something suspect about so-good...me a provamel man. _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2001 Report Share Posted March 13, 2001 I made soya yoghurt from so good once, and I think it's watered down. --- mr big <pervyempire wrote: > > > > I can`t remember where I read or heard it...but I > think there may be > something suspect about so-good...me a provamel man. > > _______________________ > Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at > http://www.hotmail.com. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
