I think I have found my new favourite candy range. I have slowly been trying the various different options from Sainsbury's, as my local store rarely has more than 2 options available. But I am now certain I will pick these up anytime I need a sweet treat because they are just too good! These … Continue reading Monster Islands candies from Sainsbury’s

Italiam Green Bakery caramelle salato brioche
These were an odd find in my local Home Sence store, but they were labelled as vegan and therefore I felt the need to at least try them. I had thought they would be a good breakfast option for days I am in the office for work, as they are individually wrapped and seem like … Continue reading Italiam Green Bakery caramelle salato brioche
Vegan chorizo is still chorizo
One of the biggest debates within the vegan vs non-vegan debate has been the use of language when it comes to food. For whatever reason, meat eaters get very annoyed about vegans naming plant based alternatives the same name as meat products. 'Sausages' cannot be sausages if they are vegan, and 'burgers' can only refer … Continue reading Vegan chorizo is still chorizo
Pig Gas Chamber shut down and demolished
In 2023 Joey Carbstrong, an animal rights activist who creates detailed expose videos showing the horrors inside UK slaughterhouses, released a video called 'Pignorant' which showed the conditions inside a UK pig gas chamber. The 70-year-old facility in which they filmed, located in Ashton-Under-Lyne in the UK - which killed around 750,000 pigs annually - … Continue reading Pig Gas Chamber shut down and demolished

New Sour Patch peach sweets
Pre-vegan me loved Sour Patch kids and they were very much my favourite sweet. Finding a suitable alternative has been a bit rocky, as whilst there are some great vegan candies out there, nothing is yet a perfect replacement for Sour Patch Kids. Which means I am quite glad they make vegan sweets themselves. Annoyingly, … Continue reading New Sour Patch peach sweets
Candy Kittens Disco Dreams
A new find! I am a big fan of Candy Kittens, and usually don't get tired of what they offer, however I was starting to get a little grumpy that I only had the same two options to choose from at any of my local shops. So you can all imagine the little excited squeak … Continue reading Candy Kittens Disco Dreams
Any recommendations for vegan food in Nottingham UK?
Another request for further information! I am planning a trip to Nottingham (in the UK - just to confirm as I know I have a lot of international followers) at the end of this month and whilst I have had a look at what vegan food is on offer here, there are so many options … Continue reading Any recommendations for vegan food in Nottingham UK?
Joe Blake’s biscoff doughnut
Now that these doughnuts are on my rader, I am slowly working ym way through the menu. Because we all know I am thorough! There is also the benefit with these doughnuts of being able to buy multipacks, so it felt only right to try a few of them. I have mentioned before that I … Continue reading Joe Blake’s biscoff doughnut
Where do vegans get their protein?
The biggest question I get asked, and even 10 years since I went vegan, I still have to explain this to people. I always find it interesting that when I was vegetarian, no one ever questioned me about my protein or my health in general. But as soon as I went vegan, all of a … Continue reading Where do vegans get their protein?
