I’m not a massive fan of hot dogs, as the thought of how processed and crappy the ingredients are gives me the absolute boke! I of course exclude proper gourmet versions with properly sourced meat. As I’d been invited to try Bob & Bert’s before their glasgow cafe opens, I figured I’d give their vegan curry dog a try and it was really, really tasty! The bun was very sweet and that’s all I’d change, but the sausage and the curry sauce were absolutely fantastic 👌🏼
Veganuary hit a snag today...a snaggis, if you will 😂 @mibbiesaye is an amazing cafe and sandwicherie, so when they posted a picture of their Rabbie Burns special, I was absolutely hell bent on eating it. This is a toasted brioche bun topped with their exquisite slow roasted brisket, haggis, pepper & chive cream with spinach. It was absolutely to die for 😍👌🏼 Happy Burns Day to one and all - lang may yer lum reek 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️
Mango & Matcha Layer cake 🍵🥭 I have never tried a dessert in @wagamama_uk before as I’m usually full and don’t bother with desserts in general...I’d be more likely to order another starter like I did as a child while my family ate their cakes 😂 I decided, in the adventurous spirit of #Veganuary, to try out a dessert! This one is light as air, fresh flavoured and nice and creamy. I’m not a huge fan of raspberry coulis but with this cake it was absolutely perfect. Definitely recommend it! #invited
The Vegatsu didn’t appeal to me as most fake meat weirds me out a bit, so I decided to try the Yasai Katsu which involves panko covered sweet potato and aubergine, the traditional sticky rice, katsu curry sauce and lettuce on the side. I absolutely loved this and it’s something I’ll definitely order in future! #invited #veganuary
Piers Morgan, shield your precious little snowflake eyes! Tonight I was delighted (as a huge fan of Waga) to be invited to wagamama to try out their brand new vegan dish - the Vegan Suika Tuna which is made from dehydrated watermelon which is dressed and wok seared. So what did I think? It looks a bit like a deflated organ 🤣 but I really liked the taste - it’s truly unique with it being sweet, salty, smoky and *something else* - as I said, unique. The avocado & tofu scramble was really nice, and the broccoli and kale were seriously gorgeous - they were stir fried with chilli and garlic and I could’ve eaten a whole bowl of them alone! The rice was a bit plain - it needed a wee extra something, and personally, I think it needed a bigger portion of the vegan tuna. I totally recommend it to those of you looking for something new and interesting or are taking part in #veganuary this year!
This isn’t what I excepted when I ordered sweet chilli fries but I can definitely say I was happy when it arrived 😍🌶 #invited
I was invited to try out @bobandberts_scot prior to their glasgow cafe opening, and as I’m taking part in #Veganuary I opted for a wee road trip to test out their vegan menu. I took my expert vegan pal @the_wishy_vegan to test the foods! There wasn’t a huge vegan range on the menu but what we had was amazing. This is the best photo I could get of their falafel wrap which is so, so tasty - I loved it! The falafel looked home made with sweet potato, and it was joined with avocado, salad and onion jam which was perfection 🌯👌🏼
Today is the day I finally just say what’s on my mind: tofu is shite 😂 thank you and goodnight #micdrop That aside, my vegan ramen was enjoyable and exactly what I wanted and needed after battling this disgusting lurgy that’s going around 🤧 #veganuary
I am all about dips and sides when I eat out! I love to pick and mix, dip some of this into that, shove this on top of that, etc. It’s like play time! Here are some vegan friendly beauties from Eda which you can find next to Merchant City Clock Tower. The sweet and fruity pickled red onions were gorgeous, and they were definitely more sweet than pickled. Perfect on top of the houmous! The baba ganoush was so, so tasty! This is the first time I’ve ever tried it chunky rather than as a paste and I really liked it for adding I to my salad rather than scooping up with bread. Anyone else doing #Veganuary found some new tasty finds so far this month? 🌱
