    What food would you choose to make veggie that isn't??

    Obviously not meat but other stuff!!

    I miss wagon wheels a lot :(

    And marshmallow in general, not fair! And all jelly should be veggie!


    Oh cheesecake is a big one!!! So yum but most aren't veggie:mad:

    You can buy veggie marshmallows (online, see http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055647458 ) and jelly (most helth food shops in Ireland, made by Just Wholesfoods).

    A lot of cheesecakes are veggie and vegan ones are possible, but you need to be visiting a vegan cafe or making that one yourself.

    You are not limited in your diet!!

    Marshmallows are a big one, wish all cheeses were veggie, chewy sweets like fruit salad, refreshers etc.

    Why aren't all the things mentioned veggie? Are they made with animal products or something?

    There's gelatine in the strangest of things.

    You can make a veggie black pudding by donating your own blood.

    If you can't see the ingredients on something, does that mean you can't take the chance in case it contains gelatine?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,195 ✭✭✭✭Michellenman


    Well it depends. I think it's law to have all ingredients on the packaging in case people have allergies and mostly if something is vegetarian then it'll have a V on the packaging too. Personally if I thought there was a chance there was gelatine or other animal product in something I wouldn't eat it.

    Not always, common sense can prevail like maameo suggested, you can get a hint of whats in it like if any jelly sort of filling etc then its usually a no-no...can be hard buying nice things from a bakery that way:(

    I would make, like Moonbaby said, all cakes veggie...i liek caek!!:D esp coffee slices and jaffa cakes:(

    Lol, magnificent!

    Fizzy orange and refreshers! Actually maybe it's good they aren't, I'd live on refreshers if I could

    oh refreshers yeah..and drumsticks!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,127 ✭✭✭Linguo


    Yeah only found out about Jaffa cakes a week ago, I wonder how long I have actually been really vegetarian discounting all the little gelatine filled bits I've eating unknowingly through the years!


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I bought jaffa cakes a couple of weeks ago, after Mon shatter my faith in human nature with this horrific revelation. But they were veggie.
    So I'm assuming this is a very recent change?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    The original Jaffa Cakes (Mc Vities) are not veggie i believe, but the Jacobs ones are...but just dont taste the same:(

    You sure you havent that backwards?
    I seem to recall having to give the Jacobs to others.
    I hate sharing food, so these things stay with me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    Only seen a pack of them 2-3 weeks ago in local spar, says on the box they are veggie...maybe a newer thing? i dunno but its true:)

    Mc Vities i've not seen a "suitable for vegetarians" thing anywhere, not even a "V":(

    Since discovering vegan rashers at the local health food shop I'm pretty set food wise. Was never a big sweets/jelly fan, sadly all the bad for me foods I like are veggie, like salt and vinegar crisps :D

    Would like a chipper that didn't cook their chips in the same oil as their fish and other foods.

    give me your cc details, I'll get em, i already know your code, I do that to poeple. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    all skittles. i can never figure out which ones are veggie and which are not.
    marshmallows are next on the list.


    and i wish so bad that you could get a full irish breakfast that tastes exactly like the proper thing, except minus the dead animal fact.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,399 ✭✭✭✭maameeo

    im sorry... whatnow??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,629 ✭✭✭raah!


    For me aswell the main thing is jelly sweets. But I thought things like chewitts had only egg whites in them? Thus being ovo-veg friendly? Well... they're "horribly-factory-farm tortured-ovo" but ovo none the less :D. Unless I'm wrong, which I think i must be.

    If I ever do come across some veg-jellies I'll buy a bag load of them, to do me for a long time. I used to get a handful of jellies and a bottle of fizzy drink everyday after school before the bus, I really miss being able to do that.

    Aldi jaffa cakes are suitable for veggies!
    (Reasons why I love Aldi, loads of their stuff is veggie friendly)

    I wish animal bits weren't used in anything tbh :/
    It's kinda sick to think they put spare parts into things you thing aer completely safe.

    For instance: "Mm delicious creamy French Fancies.. yum yum. Oh wait THERE'S ANIMALS IN IT."

    They shouldn't be allowed put animal stuff in anything else other than animals.
