Blackpowder Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Every now and then a pork pie seems the order of the day for a mid day bite, into the local Coop where a nice lady assistant points me to the appropriate chill cabinet. Nothing to be seen except packs of 4 mini pies, really wanted a larger one but hey mini is better than zero, just the thing to accompany a freshly picked greenhouse tomato. Brew made and seated cut the first victim in half did not look like pork pie, took a bite and UGH. Looked at the label on the packet Vegan Pies never bitten anything so tasteless texture well looked like sawdust and mist like the sweepings from a butchers floor would be more appetising. WARNING read the label, because something looks like the usual it may not be so. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 I very nearly made the same mistake in my local Co-op. Fortunately I spotted that the pies were grouped with other veggie stuff and rumbled that these weren't right. A cool cabinet further along provided the right ones, and tasty they were too.

cash1 Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Look how many 'E' numbers are in the bloody things too. What puzzles me is, why do Veggies have to pretend they are eating meat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave at kelton Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 It’s everywhere. Went shopping with the management on Sunday as she needed some new trainers. Bought two pairs both marked “Vegan”. Bloody ridiculous it just means no leather which is obvious as soon as you pick them 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca2017 Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 We had some customers visit at work and we said we would provide a bit of lunch while meeting. They informed us one of the group was a vegan, therefore we had to order something special for him. When they turned up I guessed who the vegan was....... the scraggiest, pastiest looking induvial among them. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
