buchan30 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 We actually built a shed together a few years ago. When it was finished she asked me, do you not feel a sense of satisfaction from doing something like this? My response was just a simple, nah not really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Tattiescone Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Picked up a ham and cheese toastie in Costa and handed it over to be heated up. "You know this is a vegan ham and cheese toastie?" Whit? So it's not got ham in it and it's not got cheese in it so how the hell can they call it a ham and cheese toastie? And why do vegans want things that taste like things they don't like? As the lassie swapped it for a real ham & cheese she said they got a lot of complaints from customers about this "but not as many as we get from vegans if we don't have it". fucking vegans. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If folk want to eat only veg or plant products then fair enough, but why would you want it to look like sausages, bacon or chicken nuggets? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be more that it isn't cost-effective to sell purely to vegans, so they have to try to reel in some carnivores too. The best way to do that is to imply that eating their products will be as short a leap as possible from sausages, bacon, chicken nuggets, etc. Personally, I'd just form them into patties and name them after their contents, like SoyLentilsGreens. What could go wrong? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can make veg taste and have have the same texture as meat I'd have no problem switching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Quite looking forward to trying the insect-based foodstuffs that we'll have to switch to once meat becomes too expensive. At the rate foodbanks are having to expand, that could be sooner than later for a lot of folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocketman Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I like the taste and smell of bacon and sausages. I don't however like the idea of eating meat from an ethical perspective and I hate gristle and fat. Plant based "meat products" are my go to - some are significantly better than others. Beyond Meat burgers are superb - if I did go back to eating meat I would continue to eat Beyond Meat I reckon. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Had a run on really useless carrier bags recently. One shop gave me a paper bag to carry some stuff I bought and it was raining, it had nearly disintegrated but the time I’d gone a few streets away from the shop and I had to go into Tesco and buy a plastic bag before it went everywhere. Yesterday I went into Coop and they have these ridiculously thin recyclable bags. It had tore and the tub of soup I bought ended up rolling down the steps. What’s the point of them? I normally try and bring bags from home if I go shopping but both times I remembered I needed things whilst out doing something else. Paper bags and Glasgow weather are just not compatible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not vegan but presumably because they still want the taste but don't want the cholesterol, increased risk of all forms of cancer and animal cruelty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the time many moons ago when we took the bus home from Tesco - when we got home we discovered the roast we had bought was no longer with us and there was a nice hole in the bottom of the plastic bag instead. However, a couple of weeks later we found a tin of paint on the bus so swings and roundabouts I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Given that there's a tendency for vegans to get quite vocal about their choices of not eating meat, dairy etc. you'd think the last thing they'd want would be to have their preferred choice of greenery labelled with the very things that make them so angry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Popped into Sainsbury's in Linlithgow this morning and they had a whole display showing bacon, chicken and the likes, all vegan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I quite like the vegan "ham and cheese" piece that Greggs do because the "cheese" has more taste than the ordinary cheese in their carnivore equivalent. I suppose it can be argued that having plant based equivalents is a way of persuading carnivores to at least consider going veggie/vegan. Like those "personality tests" the Scientologists lure people in for... (A pal did one. They said he was a psychopath. He accepted this quite happily and didn't join the cult) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a sick joke? I bought this by accident one day and the cheese was only slightly less honking than whatever they had pretending it was ham. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
