I am vegetarian, but I am quickly incorporating more and more vegan variety into my diet. The pesto is so much nicer than the dairy option in the big supermarkets,for just one example. There's a brilliant vinegarry piquancy to it, and since there're no additives, it's all natural, and it is so gorgeously addictive. I don't just want it on pasta, but on sandwiches or mixed into yoghurt for a dip. I've been sampling the vegan cheeses, because I need an alternative topping for pizzas, and there are some good things here for me. I also bought my first pot of Engevita flakes, full of B-vitamins, which were nice on spinach salad, and on top of beans on toast. I think you can make a sauce with it too. I'm feeling so healthy and glowing these days, and vegetarianism still feels like an adventure to me; it's so much fun to buy from places like this.
I bought a vegan calzone to snack on one day on the way home as well, and it tasted out of this world. I think meat-eaters aren't fully aware of what's on offer when they say vegetarian/vegan diet is limited - it's actually the complete opposite!
I bought a cookbook from here called Please Don't Feed the Bears!
I just can't wait for my payday again, so I can buy lots of amazingly tasty things from here again! Being so close to Housmans bookshop as well, it makes the Caledonian Road well worth stopping by regularly. I think there is a craft/cake shop along here that I need to try soon too.
