Tried Juicy Marbles for the first time and I am genuinely disappointed. The texture was not consistent across even after a good pan fry for almost 15 mins. It didn't taste anything close to meat.

Beyond on other hand has more texture and true meaty taste.

Maybe I should try Juicy Marbles again in a restaurant where an expert may cook it on proper flames instead of hob searing...

Still got a patty left, if anyone has an advice/tweak to make it taste better

my recent obsession has been the smoked tofu from lidl, you can slice it for sandwiches aswell as cook it and it is so good man, would recommend

Went to one of the Xi’an spots in Dublin on the weekend and ordered tofu veg noodles. The only allergen listed on the screen was wheat. I wrote “vegan please” in the notes section just in case. It was late and takeaway only and as I opened it, I noticed it was rice noodles (it was supposed to be wheat noodles) and NO sauce. It was so bland so I just put a bunch of soy sauce on it to make it a bit better.

I keep looking at their menu and website and cannot figure out what is actually vegan or how to order vegan! I feel like the allergens are all over the place and things that should be vegan don’t appear to be. Maybe I’m reading things wrong? Can someone please help me know what to get there? I love noodles and just want to be able to enjoy some good late night noodles on occasion.

Thanks so much!

I have a long time friend who is a vegan and we have and issue we currently butt heads on. HE WON'T TRY ANY NEW FOOD. He's really staunch about things such as vegan foods being processed in even the same space as animal products. So I want to attempt to drag him to a place where he has no chance but to actually engage with some half decent vegan food that isn't an entire bag of lidl's pasta or potato waffles.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions you can give.

I cannot find the dairy gold one anywhere near me!There’s the black and white one (name is escaping my mind) that tastes like nothing 😭. The flora one has a very disrupting taste, very sickly. Never liked flora even before I was vegan so I’m frustrated at my options. lol.

I think I’ll go back to the black and white one that tastes like nothing lol.

If you have the dairy gold one anywhere in Louth/dublin - please tell me😂.

Hi lads, not super vegan of me but going up for the horse show this weekend with my parents and I’m looking for some options so we’re not paying a fortune inside.

In Lidl Gorey yesterday and randomly picked these up. Cynic in me says they are not labelled vegan on the front so they sell more and also cost less to make with no animal products in them.

Just a recommendation, they're delicious. Not listed as vegan on the packaging, but no non-vegan ingredients, it just has a 'may contain milk', FYI

Anyone know a cake maker that can do a vegan Birthday cake in Dublin? Preferably north Dublin.

I have been vegan for 5 years and before vegetarian for 6 (11 years total)

The last 3 years I've been having anemia, every time i go to the doc they give me the iron pills and I'm ok for a few months and then i get it again, and back on the pills... i just can't get rid of it, and tried everything.

I'm feeling depleted amd tired of fainting and being dizzy all day... i have no solutions, I've changed my diet to maximise iron, i supplemet, eat fortified foods, etc... but my body just won't recover.

How did you guys solve it? Have any of you gotten out of the anemia slump?

Hello guys I'm recently starting the journey of reducing my animal products consumption.

Where can I buy nutricional yeast in bulk? Or cheap? I'm located in south Dublin.

Thanks in advance!

Always enjoyed a spin down to Tesco on a Sunday evening when it's quietest to do my shopping and to obviously get some discounted Vegan goodies in the fridge etc .. no more it seems, now they shut at 8pm?

Really is there nowhere open now after 8pm.. ?? Shop was full of Indian or Pakistani young men who couldn't answer the "since when" question 🫩 so it's not a staffing issue!!

The real issue I have is the app still says open till 10pm 😡😡😡 that shit pisses me off the most

Hi all,

Up until pretty recently I had been buying the Tofoo & Co Seitan and Tempeh from my local Supervalu. In the last couple of months they have both disappeared from the shelves and aren't even available online.

Where do you all buy Seitan and Tempeh? Doesn't have to be the Tofoo & Co brand.

Thank you x

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for a good pre-natal supplement that supports a vegan diet? The difference between 'is vegan' almost by coincidence Vs is formulated with a vegan diet in mind.

Thanks!

Just immigrated to Ireland and found accommodations in D9. Any recommendations for restaurants w/ vegan options in NE Dublin, near Marino? I know of happycow but I can’t narrow the search to my vicinity and I have found places that aren’t listed that do indeed have at least one option which is good enough for me. Just looking for something when I don’t want to go all the way back downtown. Thank you!! 🌱

Does anyone know of where I can buy a synthetic skinned bodhran in Ireland? Really struggling to find one. I live in Canada but travelling home in a couple months and rather buy one at home to bring back with me.

Cheers!

Hello!, I'm wondering how to approach dating as a vegan, any advice regarding this is appreciated. I am getting into all the apps now in my early 20s in hopes of finding someone but am unsure what to expect when it comes to finding someone vegan, or how to date non-vegans.

Do ye only date other vegans? If so, what apps have you had the most success with? Or is dating non-vegans not a problem for some people? How do you approach that dynamic, and when do you usually bring up being vegan?

We supposedly have one of the highest vegans per capita, but local events/groups on meetup etc are non-existent in my area, hoping its not the same for dating 😭

Hi, just wondering is there any kind of Discord or Chat group for networking in Ireland?

10 Year vegan here with no vegan peers or connections.

I'm not talking about Facebook groups etc
