Being editor of an entertainment pullout should bring some privileges but since I couldnrsquot think of any I am going to abuse my power and write a review in my editorial I couldnrsquot let the visit of a legend to the LCR go overlooked and Henry Rollins is just that

The high average age of the audience at Henry Rollinsrsquo spoken word performance is a testament to the Black Flag frontmanrsquos early 1980s punk rock credentials but there was plenty to offer his student fan base

As his days of tearing up stages across the Western world fizzle out Henry Rollins has fallen in love with travel but not of the conventional kind He visits places that many go out of their way to avoid and returns with tales that would amaze even the most cynical and world-weary Rollins has friends in the right places and an effusive charisma and humour to bring the characters to life

If I had to sit in a silent LCR for three hours again I can think of no better way to spend it than listening to a self-depricating manically unpatriotic American take you on his fascinating rambles across the globe Donrsquot miss him next time

Bon voyage Grace xx

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

Being editor of an entertainment pullout should bring some privileges but since I couldnrsquot think of any I am going to abuse my power and write a review in my editorial I couldnrsquot let the visit of a legend to the LCR go overlooked and Henry Rollins is just that

The high average age of the audience at Henry Rollinsrsquo spoken word performance is a testament to the Black Flag frontmanrsquos early 1980s punk rock credentials but there was plenty to offer his student fan base

As his days of tearing up stages across the Western world fizzle out Henry Rollins has fallen in love with travel but not of the conventional kind He visits places that many go out of their way to avoid and returns with tales that would amaze even the most cynical and world-weary Rollins has friends in the right places and an effusive charisma and humour to bring the characters to life

If I had to sit in a silent LCR for three hours again I can think of no better way to spend it than listening to a self-depricating manically unpatriotic American take you on his fascinating rambles across the globe Donrsquot miss him next time

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

NEW RELEASES gtALBUMSLOSTPROPHETS

This album pre-empted by a great degree of hype and tantalizing single releases in 2009 ƚŚĞŝƌĚĞďƵƚĂůďƵŵŚĂƐĂůƌĞĂĚLJďĞĞŶĂƩƌŝďƵƚĞĚwith lsquoAlbum of the Yearrsquo claims It is unsurprising ƚŽƐĞĞǁŚLJ ŝƚ ŝƐƐŝŵƉůLJƐŽǁĞůůǁƌŝƩĞŶĂŶĚƐŽwell polished that the songs are a joy to listen to and even if your mind wavers the swash ŽĨ ƐŽƵŶĚ ŝƐ ĂůŵŽƐƚ ŚLJƉŶŽƟĐ ĂŶĚ ĐĂůŵŝŶŐ ĂƐ ŝƚpasses through you without complaint

Of course your mind will rarely waver as the rather strategic placement of the more upbeat familiar tracks excites the avid listener Opener Clarion Call is an instant hit with a hugely euphoric instrumental break halfway through

whilst Doubt and Counterpoint show Delphicrsquos synth-savvy leanings providing a new twist ŽŶ ϴϬƐ ƌĞƐƵƌŐĞŶĐĞ ĞůĞĐƚƌŽͲƉŽƉ ĞůƉŚŝĐ Ɛ ƌŝīƐpercussive beats choral harmonies melodies and pulsing synth drones throughout Acolyte all come together to quench the thirst for fresh new music and more importantly seem to grasp the more hopeful mood of the country ĮŶĚŝŶŐ ƚŚĞ ďĂůĂŶĐĞ ďĞƚǁĞĞŶ ĂƚŵŽƐƉŚĞƌŝĐďĞĂƚƐ ĂŶĚ ĐĂƚĐŚLJ ƚƵŶĞƐ dŚĞ ƟƚůĞ ƚƌĂĐŬ ŝƐ Ănear-9 minute instrumental dance epic its juxtaposing textures from the tranquillity of the intro through the driving bass and layers of ƐLJŶƚŚ ƉƌŽǀŝĚĞ ƚŚĞ ĐƵůŵŝŶĂƟŽŶ ŽĨ ƚŚĞ ƚŚĞŵĞƐthroughout the album Another stand-out track Halcyon sounds like Friendly Fires at a Bloc Party dance set - and the list of notable tracks goes on

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

NEW RELEASES gtALBUMSLOSTPROPHETS

This album pre-empted by a great degree of hype and tantalizing single releases in 2009 ƚŚĞŝƌĚĞďƵƚĂůďƵŵŚĂƐĂůƌĞĂĚLJďĞĞŶĂƩƌŝďƵƚĞĚwith lsquoAlbum of the Yearrsquo claims It is unsurprising ƚŽƐĞĞǁŚLJ ŝƚ ŝƐƐŝŵƉůLJƐŽǁĞůůǁƌŝƩĞŶĂŶĚƐŽwell polished that the songs are a joy to listen to and even if your mind wavers the swash ŽĨ ƐŽƵŶĚ ŝƐ ĂůŵŽƐƚ ŚLJƉŶŽƟĐ ĂŶĚ ĐĂůŵŝŶŐ ĂƐ ŝƚpasses through you without complaint

Of course your mind will rarely waver as the rather strategic placement of the more upbeat familiar tracks excites the avid listener Opener Clarion Call is an instant hit with a hugely euphoric instrumental break halfway through

whilst Doubt and Counterpoint show Delphicrsquos synth-savvy leanings providing a new twist ŽŶ ϴϬƐ ƌĞƐƵƌŐĞŶĐĞ ĞůĞĐƚƌŽͲƉŽƉ ĞůƉŚŝĐ Ɛ ƌŝīƐpercussive beats choral harmonies melodies and pulsing synth drones throughout Acolyte all come together to quench the thirst for fresh new music and more importantly seem to grasp the more hopeful mood of the country ĮŶĚŝŶŐ ƚŚĞ ďĂůĂŶĐĞ ďĞƚǁĞĞŶ ĂƚŵŽƐƉŚĞƌŝĐďĞĂƚƐ ĂŶĚ ĐĂƚĐŚLJ ƚƵŶĞƐ dŚĞ ƟƚůĞ ƚƌĂĐŬ ŝƐ Ănear-9 minute instrumental dance epic its juxtaposing textures from the tranquillity of the intro through the driving bass and layers of ƐLJŶƚŚ ƉƌŽǀŝĚĞ ƚŚĞ ĐƵůŵŝŶĂƟŽŶ ŽĨ ƚŚĞ ƚŚĞŵĞƐthroughout the album Another stand-out track Halcyon sounds like Friendly Fires at a Bloc Party dance set - and the list of notable tracks goes on

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

Of course your mind will rarely waver as the rather strategic placement of the more upbeat familiar tracks excites the avid listener Opener Clarion Call is an instant hit with a hugely euphoric instrumental break halfway through

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

Of course your mind will rarely waver as the rather strategic placement of the more upbeat familiar tracks excites the avid listener Opener Clarion Call is an instant hit with a hugely euphoric instrumental break halfway through

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business

So itrsquos a new year a new decade and business as usual for the swarms of ambitious January resolutions Between stopping smoking and abstinence charitable donations and staying in contact with Uncle Geoff the will to diet is inevitably going to linger on the backs of many peoplesrsquo minds When this popped up in conversation with my vegan friend not long ago she challenged me to exaggerate this resolution and live life sans meat and dairy for a month On paper this looks like a piece of cake With over 250000 active vegans in this country itrsquos easy to scorn at the task and assume this is just a case of saving money careful shopping and a renewed relationship with Linda McCartney and the toilet For a passionate carnivore however things are easier said than done Irsquom twenty days in and would kill for a gritty post-LCR hamburger

The first obstacle is in the little annoyances that take you by surprise A nice warm muffin neither looks nor smells like an egg but is guilty as sin The apparent alternative to meat ndash Quorn ndash contains dairy and the great British cup of tea needs its milk Even alcohol is surprisingly vegan intolerant most beers wines and ciders use a clarifying agent called isinglass which is inspiringly sourced from fish bladders The time and effort spent avoiding these products is taxing and admittedly quite impressive Some vegans go a step further by boycotting materials like leather wool and silk and there are even those (fruitarians) who will only eat foods that have fallen naturally from a plant without being harvested Even if you disagree with the reasons for veganism the dedication to their cause is nonetheless impressive

Granted some problems can be solved with nifty loopholes A cup of coffee for example can be whitened (and curdled) by simply adding soya milk My response to the alcohol problem was simply to ignore it Irsquom a student I need to draw the line somewhere and no one appreciates the guy who fumbles for an excuse as to why they wonrsquot down the dirty pint Asides from that the diet is just a case of compromising and replacing whatever delicious meat yoursquove missed with mushrooms vegetables or anything that feels remotely chewy Linda McCartney also becomes a saint her range of hot dogs sausage rolls and burgers can emulate the flavours surprisingly well

Some imitations however cannot be made For all the moral and ethical goodness veganism promotes there is no decent excuse for the suffering it causes with the consumption of lsquoSheesersquo the dairy free alternative to fromage Claiming to be a lsquorealisticrsquo substitute Sheese is inexcusably horrible so much so that a reasonable case could be put forward to illegalising the stuff Its offensiveness is not just in the vile taste but also in the claim that Sheese simulates specific flavours such as cheddar and mozzarella It is no more representative of cheese than a scrubbing sponge

Having nearly finished this month long ordeal Irsquom getting close to vaguely understanding how to comfortably get by on a vegan diet The passion for the cause is reason enough for some and with enough forward planning and a good routine it does turn into a relatively smooth journey For someone who loves meat however it can be tedious and frustrating and

definitely reason enough to grumble whenever someone offers you a cocktail sausage On a final note if there are any proud vegans reading this beaming with the knowledge that Irsquove done my part in reducing meat consumption rest assured for every animal I didnrsquot eat in January Irsquoll be devouring ten next month Captain Americarsquos Hamburger Heaven will soon see a lot of business
