hello again old style vegans

please can you help me?

I'd like to know about HM mayo without eggs.

Please could some of you share your experiences of best recipes?

I tried the one which was (soy)milk, oil and vinegar and mustard, but it was incredibly runny

Any tips welcomed

Hi Weezl,

I hope someone can help you, I have not personally made any mayo. I found this on youtube and hers doesn't look runny.

Also this page, as well have having a couple of recipes, also has lots variations to make with the basic mayo. She does however use agar powder which isn't cheap enough for your plan, but the flavour variations might be of some help.

This one looks nice & thick:
Vegan Dad's vegan mayo

In the comments it's noted that the type of oil makes a difference as to how runny it turns out.

chocolate was called dairy free rice crackle by sweetwillian says its for vegans on the packet they had others too . my h&b is rubbish its tiny they do sell fake chesse and sandwich meat but not much else. think i will forget about starburst :eek: didnt know about the animal testing and just stock up from boots to give the kids :j

Rice Crackle if it's the make I'm thinking ok ?? is the closest thing to milk chocolate I've found -I think the same company do the chocolate buttons you can find in Tesco and Sains?

Oooh haven't been on here for a loooongggg time! Good to see some new vegans on here, hope you find everything really helpful.

I've got a bit of vegan information to share (well it was news to me but might be old news to you! )

CHIPS - a trip to what looked like a very popular F and ship shop in Bury St Edmunds a couple of weeks ago prompted My Vegan Friend to ask what the chips were cooked in, and it was animal fat.
recently, her sister has visited The North and found most places they asked in were going for animal fat :mad: rather than veggie oil (which is what I as a soft southerner am more used to) even when they had used oil before. So, if you don't ask already, or have relied on one place for chips, it might be worth asking again.

CEREALS - I've eaten Kellogs Rice Krispies, Corn flakes, and shop-bought brands of both for years, but someone threw up the question of whether the vits were animal derived. Nestle too (although some people might not have bought Nestle on ethical grounds :cool:).

DORSET CEREALS - half price in Tesco, the low fat flakes. Had a bowl this morning, very tasty!

Gotta go, but hope to get back on soon xx

Yes, the chip thing can be a pain. I find that if I wanted chips locally (which I don't - but did during our removal week) they are easy to find, but if you go to the seaside and you fancy them, because everyone if walking round with them, even if you have taken a picnic, everywhere uses lard! I guess there would be somewhere in every big town, but you would have to do a bit of digging around, not practical on a day out. I try to look up if there is a veggie cafe whereever I am going and then check if it will be open and of course if it does vegan food. I still take something with me however, incase the only choice is something I don't like!

Kelloggs cornflakes, rice krispie original and multi grain shapes, just right, raisin wheats, speacial k medley, coco pops, mega muncher original, frosties original and reduced sugar are all vegan. Some of the nestle are probably vegan also, but basically if the cereal lists vitamin D, its unlikely to be vegan unless its says D2, as D3 which is usually from lanolin could of been used. I notice all the ones listed that seem to be listed as vegan don't have vitamin D in them, so I am guessing that cereal manufacturers tend to use D3. There will be fortified cereals with vitamin D, that are vegan, but probably more a health food type cereal I think. Nestle are not listed on the www.animalfreeshopper.com, but I guess you could contact them if you don't boycott them for ethical reasons.

Hope this helps. Kelloggs Just right is yummy, but I only buy it when in the sale, as I eat too much otherwise! All knockoffs supermarket brands seem to have vit D added.

Hi all, can I jump in with a question about eggs? Why don't vegans eat them?

Please don't say 'because they're from an animal'

I only know one person who's vegan so I asked her, the only reason she doesn't eat them is because she doesn't like them. She can't think of a moral/ethical reason why not, as long as they're truly free range.

Free range chickens aren't on a production line of milking/birthing, they don't have to die to feed anyone. They'll lay whether or not they've been fertilised.

This has been on my mind for a while

Producing free range eggs still requires having fertile eggs - some of which will hatch into male chicks, which are then slaughtered.
