Are pets vegan friendly?

I was on the internet late at night and came across a vegan discussion thread where someone had commented that you cannot call yourself a vegan if you have a pet. Their whole argument was that vegans should not do anything that exploits or causes an animal to be exploited, and by having a pet … Continue reading Are pets vegan friendly?

Should pugs be banned?

You will no doubt have seen the headlines this week regarding the Blue Cross' latest campaign to tackle the 'vicious cycle of over-breeding' that is currently seen in pugs, bulldogs and other breeds of flat faced dogs. The increase in use of photos of such flat-faced dogs has led to a spike in popularity and … Continue reading Should pugs be banned?

BOL Japanese katsu curry

I finally decided to try the BOL range! I have heard pretty good things about it and their food does always look quite appetising. Unfortunately though, as I don't have a microwave, that limits a lot of their ready meals - and many other ready meals really. They also tend to be the more expensive … Continue reading BOL Japanese katsu curry

What is the difference between plant based and vegan?

I do get asked this a lot. When people find out that I follow a vegan lifestyle, they almost always ask 'oh, so you must be plant based then". Which then brings the discussion regarding what the difference is between 'plant based' and vegan'. So I thought it would be fun to open up the … Continue reading What is the difference between plant based and vegan?

Buttermilk salted caramel cups

So these were actually a bonus item that came with my Buttermilk Easter Egg. As I have said in that review, Easter Egg chocolate is supreme to all other chocolate, so I won't directly compare these cups to the chocolate used in the Easter egg. Because it is not a fair comparison at all and … Continue reading Buttermilk salted caramel cups

Buttermilk salted caramel Easter egg

It is now April and with April comes Easter! Now I am not religious in any way, but any holiday that involves a load of chocolate is a good holiday in my books! Unfortunately the vegan tax seems to hit Easter eggs really hard, as I have yet to find any vegan friendly Easter egg … Continue reading Buttermilk salted caramel Easter egg
