The end of my second Veganuary means a thankful return to cheese.
Last year, although I didn’t write about it much, I did try quite a few vegan cheeses. It was a depressing endeavour, with weird buttery scents, spongy textures and erratic melting.
A year on, have things improved? I started the month with supermarket-available items, and graduated to some fancier/pricier options by the end.
Quite a while ago I planted some oca, and I recently harvested the tubers (technically probably stem rather than root tubers but I love alliteration).
I’m not sure if you can quaff a tankard of mead, but I’d much rather that, than boring ale.
So when I came across Gosnells Sparkling Mead, I got unreasonably excited and we ordered some straight away.
Marmite’s marketing is all about love and hate.
Admittedly it is a divisive spread. It doesn’t bring much in the looks department, the texture is form-holdingly sticky and the taste is an overwhelming shout. For all that, though, I neither love nor hate it. I quite like it, sometimes. Other times, I’m not that bothered.
However I have to congratulate them on their expansion into a plethora of products. Cheese, crackers, peanut butter, nuts, breakfast biscuits and now houmous.
