Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 8, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2019 It’s horrible and nasty and all that but Frankie Boyle saying years ago that Rebecca Adlington looks like “someone who’s looking at themself in the back of a spoon” cracked me up at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On topic; tried vegan chorizo, it was ok, better visually than anything else. Edited January 8, 2019 by Bellenda Carlisle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTH17 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Any recommendations for a nice vegan/vegetarian sit-down place in Manchester? Girlfriend is coming down for the weekend, so looking for somewhere decent where we can get a nice meal and a few drinks. Haven't really ate out in Manchester much, all the trains to Alderley Edge are fucked due to strikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Keith, neither of us are vegan so yeah, anywhere that's got any really nice vegetarian dishes are also worth a shout. Not bothered if it's somewhere exclusively vegan or not. Looking through the menu and it looks good, not as pricey as some of the other vegan-only places I've had a browse around either!

Keith Houchen Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Plus you're in a place with a shitload of bars and pubs in the vicinity should you face a drink after. Â It's trendy as fuck though so the prices for beer reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love going there, plus if they have their Happy Hour on you can get a cocktail alongside your pizza for only around a fiver, which is more than reasonable considering.

Keith Houchen Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 https://newsthump.com/2019/01/07/vegans-tired-of-non-vegans-always-banging-on-about-vegans-always-banging-on-about-being-vegans/?fbclid=IwAR2BoaxzRSchVaoG1Rlpynj3teOBYwI_4tw5TakKvpEPbAJo2pNJx3Iiqqs Vegans simply can’t help banging on about the fact that they are vegan, according to non-vegans who keep banging on about it. This is the opinion of just about every non-vegan in the country, insist Britain’s vegans, and they insist that not only is it not true, but it is, in fact, Britain’s non-vegans that are the ones with a problem. “It’s just getting ridiculous,” said Bob Cabbage, a vegan from Plympton. “These days it feels like I can’t turn on the TV or look at a satirical news website without someone making some sort of comment or cracking a joke about how vegans can’t help telling everyone that they’re vegan. “I can tell you for a fact that it’s bollocks. I never bang on about being a vegan to anybody ever. Even though, technically, that’s what I’m doing to you right now.” Britain’s non-vegans reacted angrily to this assertion. “No way. I’m not having that,” said Simon Williams, a labourer from Bath. “If you’re in a room with a vegan it’s only a matter of time before they tell you that they’re a vegan and start asking you about your diet. Happens every time. They can’t help it.” Williams was asked how many times this specific scenario has it happened to him. “I’m struggling to think, at the moment,” Mr Williams replied. “I’ll have to get back to on that one.” Could there be some truth to the accusation that it’s not actually vegans who can’t stop talking about being vegan, but non-vegans? “No,” continued Williams, “It’s vegans. It says it all the time on Facebook so it must be true.” “As a vegan, I take exception to that,” concluded Mr Cabbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Visited Boxpark Wembley last night and had a banging vegan burrito from BombayBurrito. (No photo as I wolfed it down in about 30 seconds) Loads of other options there as well if you’re attending anything at the Arena/Stadium. Went with a friend who came with another friend, who it turns out runs his own Jackfruit based business, called Biffs Jack Shack, and they’re at Boxpark Shoreditch and a few other places, and their menu looks amazing so keep an eye out for them. I could easily go vegan. The only thing I would miss would be crisps and milk chocolate I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2019 You won't have to be a football fan to enjoy this spectacular response from Ken Andreson (Chairman of Bolton Wanderers) to Dale Vince (Chairman of Forest Green Rovers and second most passionate Vegan in the UK after Maxwell).

I prefer Dark Chocolate so that will be an easy one. For me, its melted cheese which has stopped me, though hopefully i'll get over that hurdle over time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Yeah I’ve seen a list of crisps that are vegan, and to be honest I probably could do it. I just have a real problem with crisps and snacks and binge eating them and could see it costing me a fortune if I went Vegan. For instance it’s quite common for me to eat 6 yoghurts in one go, which is why I buy the 40p Morrisons own brand. If these were vegan, I’d be broke in no time!
