The thin edge of the veg

Week 4 of LAV (Like a Vegan) and I'm still struggling with some aspects; missing milk, cheese, eggs and honey.

Having said that, I have had some really tasty meals. Favourites included beetroot burgers from Aldi and a vegetable stir fry with rice and quinoa. The stir fry leftovers were added to beetroot hummus and salad leaves and put in a wrap the following day. 

There's something very satisfying about turning leftovers into another tasty meal. It's something which would have been done during the war years when food was scarce and would not have been wasted. Coincidentally The Vegan Society was founded in wartime and was a spin-off of The Vegetarian Society. The founder, Donald Watson, and his wife Dorothy decided on the word Vegan using the first three and last two letters of the word Vegetarian. They said it marked the beginning and end of vegetarian!

Well, this blog will continue as The Vegetarian Tart and not change to The Vegan Tart. I will continue to use some vegan substitutes and enjoy some vegan meals which I hope to share with you.
