I went to meet the boyfriend for lunch today but due to the very little vegan options (on a tight budget) when out and about I ended up just eating the toast on his Full English.
Then I met my friend who gave me the inspiration and idea to begin this vegan challenge, we went around to a couple of supermarkets because she needed some ingredients and it gave me a chance to buy a couple of vegan alternatives to things I was craving.
We went into Holland and Barrett and I bought some vegan Brussels pâté, I have to say, it was pretty convincing. However, it was quite dry so if you want to use it on toast I'd recommend lots of soy butter with it. It wasn't quite as good as the real thing but I was happy with it.
The other thing I bought was vegan mozzarella, I haven't used that yet but I'll let you know when I do.
I went out for a few too many drinks that evening and managed to avoid the cravings for a burger or pepperoni pizza afterwards and settled for chips and ketchup. It did the job. I don't think I'd survive nights out as a vegan if it wasn't for chips!
All in all today although I've not messed up the vegan front I've been terribly unhealthy. All I've eaten is bread and chips! Monday is a new start so ill be back on it and hopefully be bringing you more recipes and interesting vegan food instead of 'bread, beans, and leftovers'.
