Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 18th of July 2022 Crumpets make a tasty snack.  However, I have never found them in plastic free packaging and not all crumpets in the supermarket are vegan.  For this reason, I decided to make my own.  It is incredibly easy to do so why not give it a try yourself.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of July 2022       I saw the recipe for this on social media from Bosh and decided to recreate it with a few tweaks.  It turned out every bit as good as I had hoped, but there is one thing I would do differently.  I changed the lemon to lime, used onion instead of onion powder and garlic paste instead of garlic powder.  In addition, I added a few Italian herbs and the results were amazing!

Free VFC’s Vegan Chicken product!

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Updated 5th of November 2022 After seeing Vegan Fried Chick*n (VFC) on social media and hearing I could get it for free in their promotion, I decided to give it a go.  In short, I am glad that I did! What a burger!  I really fancied a burger over the other two products Chick*n Bites and Popcorn Chick*n, so of to the supermarket I went.  The offer only included a few shops Sainsbury's, Tesco, Vegan Kind and Mighty Plants, so I chose Tesco because it was the only one I could get to on my bike.  On getting home, I prepared the burger and filled out the form for the refund.  Guess what the burger was like?
