Odinson Posted February 4, 2019 Share cheese.jpg bought this at a market this weekend. Now if I told you it's a savoury nut spread (macadamia nuts) I think most people would enjoy it. It has a grainy texture to it and a nice taste. But now if I told you what it's actually sold as -- vegan cheese, you might (like me be disappointed) I haven't tried melting it yet, apparently it melts like normal cheese but this is one time where I'd say yeah, don't call it cheese man!!! it's expensive, small 200g tub R50 and I imagine the calorie / fat content is pretty high, but as a "cheese" cracker alternative, or in a salad, it's not bad. on a pizza .... hell no! For melty cheese, you generally need to go for an oil-based version. For spreading on crackers and the like, a nut-based does really well.

I decided to try this more for health reasons (lactose) . will it replace that huge block of cheddar or parmesan in my fridge .... look...shiny !!

Odinson Posted February 4, 2019 Share Let's make no bones about it, some of these vegan cheeses are pretty damn calorie dense, so if you're watching your figure, I'd not eat too much of it. This Friday evening the wife and I are planning a cheese 'n wine for dinner. Still on the hunt for what cheeses to use, but I'll post here to show what we had.

Mudsimus Posted February 4, 2019 Share If you're not "vegan curious" why visit this thread?I'm definitely not curious as to become a vegan. But it's interesting to read why people follow certain lifestyles. I didn't see the sign on the door that said no non vegans allowed.

Patchelicious Posted February 4, 2019 Share I saw this book on the weekend and was tempted to buy a copy for a few of the people on here, but then I saw it was more about recipes and not attitude.... http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1147/3916/products/How-to-be-vegan-and-keep-your-friends-book_1024x1024.jpg?v=1541080784 Edited February 4, 2019 by Patchelicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfcjim Posted February 4, 2019 Share Here's Chris Packham putting it more succinctly than most. It's Brit centric but applies equally. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/feb/03/veganuary-vegan-food-farming The second-to-last paragraph is rather good.

Quite often the opposite pole of your view might come across as non constructive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
