Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 We interrupt this somewhat hair-raising discussion about cats and meaties to bring you a plea for help from the newbie vegans..... Help!!! <Cynthia is lying down with cold cloth on forehead, eyeing her cat with newfound fear and trepidation...> 1. Yes, I know you've told me this 5000 times, but is there a list for vegans that says which adult beverages are vegan, for those of us who still want to use these substances, please excuse me if I am going to die and go to hell for this..... 2. I cannot cook. Nopenopenopenopenope. I can make anything in the kitchen look and have the consistency of saliva. Can someone give me the brand names of some vegan fast food items? I thought I had it the other day when I had Boca's Bratwurst - but I found " egg whites " in the ingredients after I finally found enough light to get my bifocals adjusted. If I can nuke it, it's a winner. 3. Chocolate. I must have chocolate. Yes, I know it has milk in it. Brand suggestions, anyone? On the plus side, I want to let you all know - I went vegan recently because I have serious bowel disease that causes serious bowel obstructions which is more than anyone wanted to know about " moi " . And guess what? I do NOT have to take the 3 times a week laxative I had to take anymore. Fruits, vegetables, grains and soy keep everything, errrr, functioning like a top. Which is WAY more than anyone wanted to know so I will just have to go back to lying down and imagining Michael naked. Oh, drat, I said the word " naked " .

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Cynthia... Don't panic! As far as no-cook vegan, I'm about the same. I found the best vegan taco filling --- it's made by fantastic foods (they have a website, www.fantasticfoods.com) and I bought it at the local Kroger, so it must be easy to find. It's a boil-and-stir kind of thing, you can't ruin it. That, some beans, and some tortillas and I can make all kinds of mexican. My meat-eating husband will eat anything with the taco filling, so it must be a lot like the real thing. The store I shop at also carries a pretty good selection of veggie burgers. The brand I get is called Harvest Burger, but you do have to read the label because a few of the varieties contain non-vegan products. Also, I buy Smart Dogs, which are vegan weiners. I've had good luck finding store-brand hotdot and hamburger buns that contain no animal products. The brand that makes smart dogs also makes meatless sandwich 'meat', bacon, and ground 'beef'. I haven't tried those so don't hate me if they're un-yummy! As far as chocolate, I suffer too. I've been able to find vegan chocolate bars at the local health food store, but that's about it. They're called rainforest bars or something, a bright-colored wrapper with jungle-related names for each flavor. They're expensive so I usually find that I'm better off to satisfy my chocolate craving with some chocolate syrup in/on something. Most brands are vegan, as far as I can tell from the label. I hope you're able to find this stuff where you live. And I'm glad you're feeling better!! - Muffy - cynthiakg21701 Friday, July 12, 2002 6:53 PM Sigh We interrupt this somewhat hair-raising discussion about cats and meaties to bring you a plea for help from the newbie vegans.....Help!!!<Cynthia is lying down with cold cloth on forehead, eyeing her cat with newfound fear and trepidation...>1.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Hi Cynthia I'm glad to hear your new diet has helped so much with your bowel problems. I'm afraid I know nothing about adult beverages, sorry! but if you are in Britain there is a range of Plamil chocolate bars, which are okay-ish, but not like the pre-vegan days milk chocolate. I get my treats from Dr Hadwen Trust - 01462-436819. It helps to fund non-animal research into serious diseases. There is quite a variety of treats (all vegan), but the ones I get most often are fudge for Peter, the Turkish Delight for Colin, and the violet flavoured chocolates for me. There are also chocolate peppermint creams, chocolate orange creams, jelly bears (which I get for my daughter when she visits), coffee creams, and others which I cannot remember at present. I believe you can also get vegan sweets/chocolate online from places like Green Elephant, The International Vegetarian Union and The Vegan Society. Good munching. Jo > 1.

Boca makes a bunch of vegan items...you just have to make sure it sez "vegan" on the front....since they make things with honey and eggs as well there are a billion processed vegan options out there..i have no idea where you live, so don't know wot to recommend and, you know wot, i bet you could cook if ya started slow..!! can you boil water(w/o reading the instructions each time of course!!) ?? then you can cook get someone to give ya a few pointers...steaming veggies is a snap, pasta is simple, and there are a billion simple meals to prepare..get yerself an easy vegan cook book and try something its hella healthier fer you, its not all processed crap(even vegan foods that are processed often have numerous nasty ingredients like artifiicial flavors and colors) and you won't have tons of packaging..... cheers fraggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
