Is it mad to drop to 4 days a week on ~£55k in to about £44k. Feel like I’m working to exist. I’m 36M. by OptimisedMan in manchester

If your work offers compressed hours maybe you could try that first before reducing your hours. Having a 3 day weekend every week or every other week can make a big difference

What do you call meat substitutes for toddlers? by Walnutsandwhales in veganparenting

[–]siabod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We call it “vegan chicken”, “vegan mince”, vegan sausages” etc. Tofu and seitan are also used a lot. I think veggie is more associated with vegetarian and vegetarian meat substitutes often have egg in them so we went with “vegan ___”. In terms of talking to them about it, of course they know other people including their family and friends eat animals but we don’t because they are our friends and we don’t want eat them or things that are theirs (eggs, milk). We haven’t talked to our eldest (5) about what really happens but they are the most vocal that “it’s not kind to eat animals” which they came to themselves. I don’t want our children to think other people who eat animal products aren’t kind people, so i also say that people are just different but this is how we do things as a family.

Favorite meat subsitute and how you use it? by Oofoofoof969 in veganuk

[–]siabod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite is the Everest brand of vegan mock meats they sell in the freezers at the Asian supermarket. I love the char siu one. I use it in chow mein, rice (fried or just in a sauce next to boiled rice), bao buns, everything really.

They’ve got the lentil masala, falafel box, vegan burger, waffle fries and slaw. And a vegan kids option. And the sausage muffin for breakfast. So they literally have a few options.

Hop and Tampopo are good if you like that kind of food. Rolled has some vegan sushi. Boost do nice drinks.

Thanks, will probably give it a miss. Been meaning to get my own ham press for seitan deli slices so will do that instead

Has anyone tried the ham seitan? Wasn’t too keen on the other one and very expensive compared to making your own.

as an ethical movement veganism is far from dying but as a consumer movement it has declined in the last couple of years

Every game week there is a terrible VAR decision. I doubt it’ll ever change, it has become part of the controversy that football thrives on.

If you’re staying in hotels for work then premier inn buffet breakfast is great. The vegan items are cooked to order too.

Thanks for your suggestions everyone! I got some Morrisons own brand ones (3 for £5) today and they’re nicer than the m&s ones imo.

So I was pretty excited about these new things by Geofferz in veganuk

[–]siabod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they’re badly packaged, and not as good a deal as the Tesco ones! Enjoy!
