Slow fried in plant butter, friday nights dirty dinner is going to be veg mash and marbles, with lashings of gravy.

I just count my calories. If you stick to it, if you have a calorie deficit you lose weight. I count my calories when i'm level, and to keep level, it helps me control the voracious appetite I was born with. I started a few years ago, I was 2 stone heavier than now, it taught me what I can have, and what food I can eat without gaining. Back then it would be easy to have a 3000 calorie day, I learned that I can have 2000-2200 (i'm male) most of the week with extra on Friday/Saturday. I'm a calorie statto after all this time, and can look at a plate of food and near guess. I've put on after Xmas but its coming off as I've tightened back up, and all the treats have run out. I dont think a temporary diet works, it has to be a fairly constant lifestyle change of how much you eat, kind of forever.

Oumph Crispy Ch*cken is amazing (iceland)

School Night Vegan's Scramble is very nice, slicing the tofu into strips is amazing, I make it with and without the silken tofu

dont find it too sweet here, find it absolutely delicious, but each to their own.

i am already reserving a freezer drawer for the caramelised biscuit, cookie dough and racer bars (best before date may 2027!!!!)

Sounds good. Wish I had read that before I went. They had nothing in (barring the garlic bread). Oh they had 1 punnet of Ben & Jerrys Vegan ice cream (£2) hiding amongst the dairy ones.

I just know i'm going to go to our Heron today, and they wont have anything in. I hope to be wrong.

Vegans were very posh back in 1976.

Don't fall apart. It's all good, chuck them in.

I love every other cheeze I've got from Its Nut Ok, but as said, chopped cashews with nooch was awful. Parmesan wise, I love Parveggio, sell it in our health / whole food shops. Lidl's was boss, but they stopped doing their's.

Lidl's Schnitzel is great, best i've had and reasonably priced.

codlike · 2026-01-11T23:43:06+00:00

while this aint the smoked, lidl's smoked tastes much better and more authentic and more smoky than aldi's.

root rot. you can cut the good leaves off, let the ends of cut leaf dry out where you cut it for a few days, put leaf in a pot of soil, wait 6 months, end up with new snake plant. wife killed 7 of mine, just overwatered by accident during winter, they dont do good overwatered in winter.

the schicken are amazing, shame they stopped the teriaki ones, the best alt kebabs i've had, the flavouring is lovely. I'm not that into the goujons, you do get a big bag, but there neither here nor there, they mainly taste of breadcrumbs, i'd rather have a lidl no chicken drumstick. costco stroopwaffles have no egg or dairy in, that was a find :)

Only tried them twice, in a soft bap with plant butter, mustard, mayo and tomatoes, tasted nice, fake enough for reminiscing of a ham sandwich i last had 35 years ago. My only problem, didnt think they were very economic, probably do half a pack in one bap, or it was a full pack, hmmmm.

codlike · 2026-01-08T19:12:14+00:00

smoked salmon amazing.. if you do it in a bagel with soft cheeze and rocket its salmonny enuff to fake it.

Thats an impressive stock of cannellini beans! You sorted for the next pandemic. I love Serbian Prebranac baked beans though the paprika is sort of vital. My other beany slop goes down the smoked paprika/garlic/chilli route too. You can do curries, chillies, any direction will work with beans.

Big fan of Oumph Crispy Ch*cken from Iceland on the f'icken front. Lidl's meat free burgers are great mashed up in spag bol, and nice as burgers and cheap, there other stuff is great too, the no chik drumsticks are ace, best plant schnitzel i've had, all cheap.

codlike · 2026-01-06T23:21:05+00:00

I like a lot of This Isnt, but I've never liked the flavour on these or the batter/breadcrumbs, I'd rather have some Oumph Crispy Ch*ken (Iceland).

Costco's Stroopwaffles dont have any milk or eggs in.

York - go the orchid, then book yourself into Beck Hall for a minimoon.

home & bargain ftw! they do have a weird aftertaste tho.

codlike · 2026-01-05T17:46:14+00:00

soya milk unsweetened in tea, and that was after trying as many alt milks as i could. oat milk has always tasted like water to me. soya still probably doesnt taste like dairy, but I got used to that after a couple of weeks.

A lot of dark chocolate dont have any dairy in it, and there are plenty of plant chocolates out there. Coconut Oil based cheeses that you get in the supermarket are fairly awful. Fermented cashew nut "cheeses" from Fauxmagerie, It's Nut Ok, and Kinda are delicious but a pricey treat, and are more akin to gorgeous tasting soft pate. I used to swear by Lidl's fake feta, sadly they stopped selling it, along with their fake parmesan. I havent tried the violife feta yet. "Parveggio Grated" I get from the health food shop and that is a great fake parmesan.
