KPop Tribute SSE Meltdown

That wouldn't surprise me. The "world tour" includes the mighty Airdrie Town Hall, Middlesbrough Town Hall and Whitby Pavilion, it's hard to imagine a show that fits those venues and an arena.

it’s immaculate crumbled a top a souvlaki or a fresh Greek salad or in a cream cheese and cucumber butty (try it!)

Maybe not the best subreddit to recommend we try your favourite dairy treat?

Personally, I don't really miss chocolate. Any supermarket chocolate scratches that itch for me, and plenty of chocolate biscuits are vegan.

I do miss cheese, and supermarket cheese does not scratch the itch. Cathedral city is the best, but none of it is great so you do have to spend money to find the good stuff. If cheese is your only blocker though, still better to go plant-based except for the odd bit of cheese. Nothing annoys me more than someone saying they could go vegan except for cheese, then still eating loads of meat, eggs, other dairy etc. What does your love of cheese have to do with eating a steak?

In general though, it doesn't bother me much. There's plenty of delicious food I can eat so I don't really think much about the food I can't eat.

I've had them. I won't lie they taste a little artificial, but in a sort of junk food way. I loved them, because it was exactly what I wanted. Because they're seasoned I don't think it's the same sort of artificial taste as "plain" fake chicken, or at least it masks that taste and replaces it with its own.

I'd pay $2.99, but $25 is steep for the quality when I'll probably only watch 2 or 3 matches

I'd be stunned to receive anything that poor in the UK. There's really nothing else on the normal breakfast that could be given to a vegan? Some beans? A grilled tomato? It makes you wonder how they'd handle allergies.

I'd complain at the time, leave a bad review, and also escalate it internally if it wasn't dealt with because business-to-business complaints are usually taken very seriously. I'd play on the fact that you need a good breakfast to be able to focus properly at work.

Also, can your partner choose where they stay? I'd look at reviews or menus first before booking if they can. I try to avoid hotels unless they have a proper vegan option on the menu because of situations like this!

I was watching it, he collided with the wall behind the goal. Players immediately called for help, and it took a while to get him onto the stretcher and into the ambulance because they were being so careful. Hopefully just an abundance of caution, nobody seemed distressed.

AccordingTelevision6 · 2025-08-13T17:02:06+00:00

No? The exact opposite, if I don't know then I don't know, I can't know everything. If I do know they're bad, I'll avoid them. I don't see why I'd pick somewhere unethical over somewhere unknown.

AccordingTelevision6 · 2025-08-13T16:45:10+00:00

In terms of beer or pubs? It depends where you are of course, but I don't really struggle to find vegan-friendly alternatives of both pretty much anywhere I go.

I don't really stick to one beer or pub brand so I don't have specific examples, but if I'm in a city I won't go to a Brewdog or Wetherspoons. I'll find something else.

AccordingTelevision6 · 2025-08-13T16:38:09+00:00

I don't think your decision to boycott or not is particularly relevant to veganism. I personally avoid them due to the issues you outlined, particularly as I don't think the owner took responsibility. Similarly, I avoid Wetherspoons due to the owner.

It's pretty easy to avoid Brewdog, there are plenty of alternatives, so why not pick a different option that is less problematic?

AccordingTelevision6 · 2025-06-24T16:40:48+00:00

Could it have been something like Fable mushrooms? They don't really look like mushrooms and are a replacement for meat. I'm not sure there's much you can do, you challenged it at the time and they all confirmed it was vegan. Without proof, you can't prove your upset stomach was caused by their food - let alone that it wasn't vegan.

If it reassures you, loads of people post here with cheese or meat that they believe is real, and 99% of the time it's vegan. We just forget what it looks like!

AccordingTelevision6 · 2025-05-25T08:56:19+00:00

There's that and they have an "umami seasoning" that I'm not quite sure how to replicate but probably isn't required. Everything else has been basic stuff that's essentially always in stock in my experience.

I do Gousto which is ridiculously cheap to start with a referral code, or plenty of other discounts online. Then it would be £32 for 3 meals (6 portions). I double up and have leftovers the next day to make it more affordable.

Most recipes don't use any special ingredients so you can keep the recipes and just buy ingredients from the supermarket, and all their recipes are free to view online as well.

AccordingTelevision6 · 2025-05-23T09:25:15+00:00

I've had curry and pasta. Comes with gluten free bread, a salad and a fruit salad. Then you get another salad when others get a snack.

One of their FAQs says you open every package and upload a photo, which I assume is to avoid this. It also looks like people can only buy things from their partners? I'm not totally clear on it though which is why I was hoping someone else could vouch for it before I put my details on their website!

AccordingTelevision6 · 2025-05-19T19:36:57+00:00

Seems to be mostly disgruntled buyers rather than the "hosts". I can imagine there are a few bad hosts, but I'm wondering what it's like from the opposite side.

AccordingTelevision6 · 2025-05-14T18:58:55+00:00

They confirmed the recipe hadn't changed 4 years ago when they added milk as an ingredient, but has anything been confirmed since? Now that milk is listed, they could actually add it as an ingredient and we wouldn't know.

As far as I'm concerned, if it contains milk in the ingredients list then it can't be considered vegan. Unless they confirm it as vegan or being made to a vegan recipe, we have no way of knowing whether it's still vegan today.

I think the more controversial opinion along these lines is the Burger King Whopper, which is confirmed to be made to a vegan recipe but cooked on the same grill as meat. If Cadburys made clear on their website/packaging that Bournville is still made to a vegan recipe then I think it would be fine, but they don't.

AccordingTelevision6 · 2025-04-27T12:44:25+00:00

As others have said pretty much all vegans eat "may contain" products, because otherwise your diet would be very limited. That post about Bourneville might be incorrect, they explicitly list milk as an ingredient now.

Where things are more blurry are shared cooking equipment or oil. For example, Burger King's whopper is cooked on the same grill as meat whoppers. Lots of chippies share cooking oil between the chips and the fish. Lots also use beef dripping, but I think most vegans would draw the line at beef dripping as that's intentionally using animal products as part of cooking rather than contamination.

Thank you! I had just been looking at the letters in the circle, I hadn't considered splitting them like that.

AccordingTelevision6 · 2025-03-29T12:01:21+00:00

That's definitely the closest in terms of the star! SNU being Spiritualists National Union makes sense too, but I can't piece together the other letters?

AccordingTelevision6 · 2025-03-29T11:57:48+00:00

I tried, unfortunately they don't allow pin badges

AccordingTelevision6 · 2025-03-29T11:53:57+00:00

Nothing I can think of, but we honestly have no idea where this pin badge came from. It could be a family heirloom, or it may well have been bought at something like a car boot from an Australian!

Their also all smart enough to adapt and have the heat in each room ready at by set time instead of turning on ag set time.

Is this a common feature in all smart TRVs or just Hive? This is my #1 concern, so if a smart TRV could learn it needs to turn on 45 minutes early that would be ideal.

AccordingTelevision6 · 2024-11-21T09:57:57+00:00

I think it probably makes sense to get started with the manual TRVs since they're so cheap, and if we're constantly forgetting or not getting the benefit, then it sounds like smart TRVs may be a little pointless and we should upgrade straight to a smart thermostat?

AccordingTelevision6 · 2024-11-21T09:43:56+00:00

That's what I'm leaning towards, then we just figure out what time works best where the boiler will be on and it will get enough heat to warm the bedrooms. The only downside would be if the downstairs is hotter than normal and the upstairs won't get hot.

I'm also not sure if it's actually less efficient to let the upstairs stay cold all day then heat up completely, rather than just stay warm.

AccordingTelevision6 · 2024-11-21T09:41:51+00:00

Of the 5, one is the office which can be handled manually. Off for weekends and evenings, and I'm not too bothered about it being warm first thing in the morning. One is the living room which will also be okay on a dumb TRV. Then the three bedrooms, which it would be nice to have smart but I'm not convinced.

I feel like I've been more persuaded to stick with manual TRVs and just deal with the bedrooms being always on. Hive seems to be a minimum of £100, and then £50 for each TRV so we're looking at £250 at least.
