    Ah, it's amazingly dissappointing when that happens. All ready for a chewy treat and then wham! you read the back and your life is ruined.. I got a chicken soup by accident once, thought it was vegetable

    Ooh I have another one! Goddamn medicine! I'm on antibiotics at the mo and they come in gelatine capsules :mad: i tried opening the capsule and putting the powder into a glass of water and drinking it but it was absolutely foul and I ended up with a big load of sediment at the bottom of the glass so I had to drink about four glasses of water in a row so that's out. Anybody have any ideas?

    The Jaffa Cake investigation was taken upon by myself, and concluded last night...the verdict is that McVities Jaffa Cakes ARE veggie friendly afterall, so our very own Moonbaby (and many of us others) can rest assured one of her treats are still edible:D

    As far as I can tell bourbon creams are vegan, but that's just from my not heavily experienced reading of the packet... turns out calling them creams is a bit misleading... Eggplant is worse though... They were always my favourite biscuit so they've had to fill my sweet thing void temporarily =)

    ah, a bourbon cream is no digestive half coated in chocolate ready to be dipped... *sigh*
    back in the day i could easily go through half a pack with a cup of tea.

    i did buy some choccie bikkies in lidl under the brand 'parkside' for a spell. they were quite low quality and didn't list the ingredients for the chocolate on the biscuit. so i didn't buy them for long. it's been a long time since a mcvitties digestive. and they do have those new 'dark chocolate' ones which have milk powder or butter fat or something in them. *sniff*

    edit: bourbons are more of a cocoa flavoured biscuit. nothing chocolatey about them!!

    Yikes, so it appears that not all "Jaffa Cakes" are created equal, I'll be sticking to "McVities" only from now on so.

    I did miss Jelly Sweets, until I discovered that "Jelly Tots" are Vegetarian (just confirmed on "Nestle" website)

    I then decided to google "McVities" and Vegetarian just to double check, yes their "Jaffa Cakes" are fine, then it occurred to me that are "Hob Nobs" Veggie ? I ate 2 earlier . . . but confirmed on website = vegetarian - Phew !
    http://www.unitedbiscuits.com/consumer-care.php?rnd=qbEx+7hQqZX+pqtgMAF7cavjodCjt5uCF3Ju7wSROu4=


    Now if anyone knows where I could buy some vegetarian marshmallows ? I buy normal ones for Mr. Sock Monster but he can't share them with me !
    　
    　
    Alright, getting to the point
    "Chocolate Kimberly’s", each Christmas when my mother opens the big tin of them, the gorgeous fresh chocolately smell (does inhaling count) and I know I can’t eat them.
    　

    p.s. do any of you veggies think it’s funny (wrong word I know) that
    M & S Percy Pigs are in fact made from pigs (Pork Gelatine) – talk about meeting your food ! ! !

    Oh boo hoo they are out of stock …… but …..Veggie Haribo, I didn’t know they existed – It’s like Christmas in September ! ! !

    In fact I might even get a few bags of the Haribos, they’ll make great surprise presents for my two veggie mates!

    Thanks Tar.Aldrion, I’ve saved the "VeganStore" to my favorites
