A Vegan Nightmare!
I'll never be able to have another roast dinner again for as long as I live!
Do not despair! Progress is being made in leaps and bounds.
Sustainability is the driving force behind these changes. Alas, it wasn't predominantly animal welfare that pricked our collective conscience but hey, since we only have control over our own choices let's just start with that, and that's a very good place to start...(Doh-re-mi) Ah-hum giving away my age, yes, we'll leave that 'til later...
O Pavlova, Pavlova wherefore art thou?
I Miss You So Much!
Over here yonder in amongst all these lush and abundant plants in the form of vegan meringues and yesss, whipped plant cream that doesn't taste like a hen's backyard at high tea!
'Twas then my despair turned to utter delight. No exaggeration you could have tickled my teapot, if that's not made with animal products I'll eat my Grandma's coddled eggs. Imagine! And as wonderful as they are, wait for it, not a chickpea in sight! These are made with non-GMO plant proteins. Forget all those cholesterol-fueled meat proteins, these are the 'sustainable & healthier' proteins of the future.
Sunday Lunches Live On...
It's true to say that when children are exposed to mindful eating patterns it becomes second nature to them and since food is often associated with comfort and rarely, thankfully yet survival anymore in the western world it becomes even more important to be informed in our decision making so they won't have to go through the tedious challenges some of us generation X 'ers and Baby Boomers et al. face in an attempt to change our deeply ingrained habits, for planet, compassion and health.
Have Your Cake & Eat It
So now you most definitely can. Who would have thought? These incredible meringues, or should I say, Veringue® (vegan + meringue) I know right? Are the best I've found. Absolutely delicious with dollops of plant based cream they become a meringue lover's dream. Here the makers of these incredible little moments of sheer joy, Pretty Pink Potato (UK) have used Elmlea plant cream, another revelation for me because, well, I just never imagined plants could be so darned sophisticated!
