Vegan Pasties

Sometimes only a pasty will do.  For it to be satisfying, it will need a great light flaky pastry and a tasty filling.  In our case it will need to be 100% vegan too! These pasties are 100% vegan, but which one is the best?

Ginsters Vegan Pasties

Ginsters have two great options to choose from that I have seen. One is a Moroccan vegetable pasty and the other is a Quorn one.  First, i will examine the Quorn pasty.  To be honest, i was not looking forward to this one, but once i tried it i loved it.  I was impressed by the way it tasted just like a meat pasty.  I loved the white pepper spicy taste and the filling.  Much better than i expected.

Next the Moroccan vegetables pasty.  This was fantastic and I loved every bit of it. This is something that i will have again in the future because the pastry was amazing and the filling was spicy and fun to eat.  What a great pasty!

Fry's Pasty

As far as I am aware, Fry's only have one pasty and it is called a 'Med Veg and Squash Slice'.  The pastry is just as good as the Ginsters pasties and is very tasty too. It was, however, very different from a traditional pasty.

All the pasties where great, so it was difficult to choose a winner.  However, in the end I think the Ginsters Moroccan veg pasty was the best, but only just.  This was closely followed by the Ginsters Vegan Quorn pasty, which was more like a traditional Cornish pasty. 

If you try these out, let me know what you thought or if you have any suggestions of vegan pasties then post them in the comments.

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Updated 24th of March 2024 Yorkshire puddings are a tasty part of Sunday dinner in the UK not to mention Christmas and Easter.  With this in mind, a vegan alternative is required to satisfy the patriots dinner plate.  I looked for a long time and tried many different recipes, but in the end I had to alter the best basic vegan recipe to make it perfect.

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. ...

The Price of Ignorance

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...
