Alisha's vegetarian SW diary :)

[lishaa]

Just started to read your diary as I have "come back" this week.
Can I ask what is the "bacon" in the picture near the beginning - please don't tell me it is quorn as it does not agree with me. I never look at the things which are labelled chicken, bacon etc which are for veggies as I thought they would be synned but noticed they are free in your diary.
Thanks.

Hey lovely
If it was at the beginning of my diary it was real bacon I'm afraid as I was eating meat to try and do extra easy before I gave up and went to green. I really don't like veggie bacon substitutes but my favourite veggie/vegan substitutes at the minute are quor:n mince (flavourless, just for texture really), chicken pieces, nuggets, burgers, fillets, crispy fillets & pretty much all of the linda McCartney stuff is yummy

Hiya Lish!
Kinda a big deal you telling us all that, so well done. Feels much better when you have these things written down doesn't it? Thats why I always ramble so much. Also nice to talk to people who aren't involved etc so can offer different perspectives.
I'm so so sorry for both your friend and your brother, I'm not surprised you went a little AWOL. And do you know what, 3 ickle days off plan in the grand 14 weeks you've been on it didn't really matter did they, littlemiss2stoneaward!!!

Also well done with your exam results!! Can't beleive you got a first in one! Complete boffin!

Anyway pleased to have you back, keep going xxxx

Hellooo
Yeah, definitely I thought the only way to get back on it 100% was to share it, draw a line under it & move on.

I can't believe I've finally got my 2st award! Ahhhh! I want my 2.5 by the end of February so I've got to behave

Xxx

Thought it looked too good to be meat substitute

Have you tried the "no meat" meatballs from Asda - they are really nice but the syns have just increased to 5.5 per bag. There are 3 portions in the bag so only 2 per portion so that is OK. I make a pasta sauce which is free. They also do a "chicken" style soya pack which is still free and I cook that with peppers, onions and mushrooms and add some kind of gravy and make into cottage pie. Both frozen and usually on offer when you buy 2 bags.
I like the Rosemary LM sausages and can't believe they are free food.
All the Quorn stuff does not agree with me - would have to go into another room if I ate of it.

Not tried any of those but I'm really happy with quorn .

I've heard quite a few people say quorn makes them gassy etc.
