Inadvertently Bought a Vegan Sausage Roll

[Nigeyy]

I think that's overly simplistic; you are forgetting plants cast a shadow. I think it's more the sentient/non-sentient thing (though other vegetarians may disagree, just from my own point of view).

If it casts a shadow, they can't eat it.

Personally speaking, I'd not consider it vegetarian as insects are sentient. Though in all fairness, as a "vegetarian" I have milk in my tea and eat eggs. I have thought I should be called a vegedairian

I think Ovo-lacto-veggie was the term....

Oh goodness me, far too many syllables and hyphens! Doesn't roll off well from the tongue either...

Well thats the thing isn't it. Vegetarians tend to have differing views on what they will eat and what they wont, They draw that shifting line where they want, much the same as meat eaters. Which is fine by me. As a meat eater, i couldn't bring myself to eat dog, which i guess is hypocritical as they are animals like any other. But thats my choice.
Many vegetarians don't eat meat for environmental reasons and they do have a point. Intensive livestock farming has a massive environmental impact on this planet. Substituting insects as food could reduce that.
Whether vegetarians would eat those insects, would be purely down to the individual vegetarian. And meat eaters come to that.

In the EU, Russia, the middle East and Asia they never contained those things in or for a lot of years before 2016. America is something else though.
Interested where you got that info. from.

It's a website by The Independent (the former newspaper).

This is a problem with global brands. As soon as you find a list of ingredients, someone says "oh, but that shoot's not in the UK recipe" but the UK website just says it contains "{{data.item}}" or similar stuff that looks like the database farted into a web page because we're too small a market for them to keep a website orking and our labelling laws for online takeaway orders are pathetic.

Euphemism overload!

And then look at the next post. MORE.

I I tried Linda McCartneys meat loaf once. It was like weetabix in gravy

Ah, the press eh?
I think the McD UK website has very comprehensive ingredient declaration and nutritional info. section for all its products. It also used to have footage of them being made too. Not looked for ages tho....

As I wrote, that "comprehensive ingredient declaration" was numerous "{{data.item}}" statements when I looked yesterday. Blame the non- publisher, not the press, please.

I unwittingly bought a vegan cheese sandwich the other day. It was alright.

You need to work on your faux outrage.

I thought they didn't eat anything with eyes, much to the relief of potatoes, looking at the 'meat' animals available with no eyes I'm with them there! https://www.ranker.com/list/eyeless-animals-pictures/crystal-brackett

regarding that Atretochoana

It looks very familiar

I was a bit miffed because I'd just taken a lactase tablet which turned out to be unnecessary.

How can you tell what music a sausage roll likes?

If you leave them long enough they start to hum.

AC/DC - it’s a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll.
