By  McDonald, T.  |  Date 29th of September 2020

Do you miss a good old fry up?  Are you having trouble converting to a vegetarian diet?  After years of trying i finally have found these chipolata style sausages from Plant Chef by Tesco.  I have to say that i loved these sausages and found myself asking are they really plant based?  Yes, they are that good!  So yes, i think these are worth trying.

Here is my recipe for a vegetarian fry up.  

Ingredients

  • 2 Plant Chef chipolata sausages 
  • 1 egg
  • Small amount of onion
  • Small amount of bell pepper
  • Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp of garlic grapnels
  • 3 button mushrooms
  • 2 peeled plumb tomatoes
  • Coriander 
  • Chips or hash browns

Method 

  1. Put the chips in a preheated oven.  
  2. Make the omelet mix by mixing together the egg, diced bell pepper, diced onion, chopped mushroom, diced cheese, garlic granules and coriander.  Leave to the side for now.
  3. Fry the chipolatas for 2 minutes each side and then put in the oven for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat the tomatoes in a saucepan.  

Options  

You can add some veg like i have done or have some baked beans with it instead. 

Top Tip 

Use an egg ring for the omelet.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
