This has always been the way. Beef & Onion, Smoky Bacon etc are vegan, where Cheese flavoured crips are often not.

You need to check the label on the gangster wrapper.

I had a real what--has-the-world-come-to moment in Sainsburys the other day when I saw this. Environmental tipping points passed? Cost of living crisis? War in Europe? I know, what we really need is wine for dogs.

I'm sure I read something about vegan black pudding recently. Presumably made from the blood of plants.

I know. The advertising spiel on the back of the packet is even more... something (words fail me), if you can believe it.

This came up in a pub discussion - if happy free range pigs became blood donors, so they gave a pint now and again in exchange for a cup of tea and a kit kat, what would the ethical stance be on using that for blood pudding, assuming the other ingredients were plant based.

Its sort of already a thing in some parts of the world. In the early eras of animal husbandry cattle didnt yield much milk with much regularity so the reason for keeping them was to tap their blood and consume that instead.The Masai tribe do both - tapping their cattles blood making a dish of cows blood and milk. A sort of savoury nesquik.

Depends if anyone inquiry understood/recognised the current ethical considerations and whether any of those would still apply. Vegans don’t consume animal flesh or excretions and do not willingly fund exploitation of animals - so I’m not quite sure whose ‘ethical stance’ you’re referring to? I’m not quite sure that vegetarians drink animals blood either so again…

*edit: wait -I may not be effectively reading the room?

@p7eaven - don't overthink it, it was a (respectful lpub chat between a group that contained vegans, veggies and meat eaters , exploring whether there were any circumstances under which consumption of an animal product became acceptable to those who chose not to eat them at present. As you'd expect, the answer varied depending on the individual and tbf some of the meat eaters wouldn't touch blood pudding anyway so it was always a tough argument! 🙂 Anyhow it gave rise to the rather marvellous/repulsive "hot clotlate" 🙂

Veggie/vegan haggis can be pretty good. As good as good old lights haggis.

@thepurist

don’t overthink it

thnks 😉

On a vaguely related note I went to an American diner today by accident. Don’t normally drink dairy but was kindly bought a giant ice-cold strawberry milkshake which to be fair tasted amazing. Unfortunately the girls also had a milkshake apiece yet turned out they would not drink - so I ended up drinking the best part of three giant milkshakes. On top of a bowl of chilli. I don’t know what I was thinking! I think it was one of those moments when I didn’t want to overthink it!

Thankfully managed to get home before unwittingly giving That Picolax Thread a run(s)for it’s money.

Dear gods. Never would’ve believed what I felt and witnessed today to be possible. Would never relate in detail as believe there is no company impolite enough to receive such towering tales of the ensuing porcelain-painting, flandemonium-filled and disastrous dirty-disco 😭

Visited friends yesterday and their nearest independent coffee place offers shots of CBD in the drinks.

We didn't indulge....

Tim Hortons presenting an alternative set of facts

to quote Byron (the poet not the burger chain) “I know that two and two make four - and should be glad to prove it too if I could - though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert 2 and 2 into five it would give me much greater pleasure.”
