    :hello: Hi happy new diary. I noticed you mentioned hot chocolate with marshmallows - I didn't realise you could get vegetarian marshmallows, I'll have to look out for them as I rather fancy a HC and mallows.......

    No, but I don't see why you couldn't. You can buy frozen rice. I guess may depend on what else is a n it. Ssxx

    The Marshmallows in HB are conventional and probably not suitable for veggies. I follow a vegetarian diet for a variety of reasons, but ethics and strict allergy/dietary requirements are not amongst them, so I do not bawk at products that have gelatine in them - I just don't eat them very often. I think specialist shops do probably stock veggie compatible marshmallows, and I can only imagine, that I wouldn't be able to afford them. I realise eating MM's makes me a veggie hypocrite, if that is so, then I'm a veggie hypocrite :D

    Thanks for popping in everyone - :wave: to all.

    Having read and followed all of the old diary I have trundled across to here. So many ideas and thought trains you have provoked so I will keep on track with you if that's ok. We move to Cyprus in 2015 and these threads are like friends who I need to keep up with all the news gossip recipes etc.
