Vegan sour patch kids released!

Sourpatch kids were one of my favourite sweets pre-veganism, but here in the UK they are not acccidentally vegan the way they are in the USA. They have released some fun alternatives, but none have been the actual 'kids' - or at least the little humaoid candy shapes that Sour Patch kids are iconic for. … Continue reading Vegan sour patch kids released!

Monster Islands candies from Sainsbury’s

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

Should there be tighter restrictions on rabbit ownership?

Labour MP Mike Hedges believes so. At a recent parliament meeting at the Welsh Senedd, he called for a wide range of changes to current animal welfare rules, including proposing rules that restrict who can own rabbits moving forward. Part of the proposal includes prospective rabbit owners to compelte a short course that properly advises … Continue reading Should there be tighter restrictions on rabbit ownership?

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

Joe Blake’s Lemon Drizzle Doughnut

Trust me to find a new vegan doughnut option! Joe Blake's seem to specialise in 'coffee and cake', so they did set quite a high bar for the doughnuts they had on sale. They are your stereotypical London coffee chain, with the very clean aesthetic and the high price tag to go with it, but … Continue reading Joe Blake’s Lemon Drizzle Doughnut
