Most of you will have seen the various versions of the Vegan 100 floating around the blogosphere. I was frustrated by seeing all those great vegan wares in the Portland one, and so I decided to do my own UK based version! I shamelessly stole from various blogs and websites, and asked many of you for help. Thanks to all who contributed and apologies to those who had great ideas which I ignored! Some of it is fairly specific. I kept it that way deliberatley, so shoot me!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
1) Copy this list into your own blog, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Post a comment here once you’ve finished and link your post back to this one.
5) Pass it on!
If you don’t have a blog, just let me know your total in the comments. I’m going to post it first in its naked glory so you can copy and paste it without reformatting and messing about, then next week I’ll add my own crossings out and bolds, so you can see my total!
All items on the list refer to the vegan version. Please don’t contact me to tell me that butter isn’t vegan, for example. I mean a vegan version of it!

Ok, I posted mine!
I love this list so much! You all have the best names for things! bubble and Squeak? fabulous! Potato farls? Hobnobs! Love it! I don’t even need to eat these things to enjoy their names!
linda mccartney’s range keeps on being ‘improved’ so most, if not all of the range is not even vegan any more 😦
plus at wagamama, the use the same hot plate/ griddle thing for both meat and veg so there’s contamination 😦 boo

Alpro chocolate milk!
anything from provamel
plamil
allergycare chocolate beans!
humdinger tangerine chocolate!
mrs crimbles dutch fruit loaf!
haribo cola breeze

So much fun! I’m posting this now.
Ha, ha Bazu took over your blog 🙂
I’m hungry now!
Incidentally, have you been to the George for lunch in the last year or two? Most notiblty, in the last 6-months or so? Was appaulling last few times we went there, but they have new management now. Not built up the courage to check it out again yet!
Vegan 100 here: http://vanillasugarblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/vegan-100.html
Bugger. I’ve heard of most of the things on the US lists, but only about half of the things on this one! Who the bejeebus is Clive? Mildred? What’s Dandelion and Burdock’s? So terribly confused…! I’ve had everything on Bazu’s list, though 😉
Brill list! I’ve had 67 of them….
good list (sarsaparilla, fry’s peppermint cream, tartex, homnomnom). Beanfeast brough back memories and caused my wife and I to go on an unsuccessful quest to find some – do you know where they still sell it? I need some convenient-vegan-comfort food whilst I mourn the loss of Walker’s Salt & Vinegar crisps!
I think beanfeast is still for sale at Sainsbury’s. I remember starting at University and there was a packet in everyone’s Freshers pack – I was eating them for years.
Churros from Terre a Terre! OMG I had these when I was in the UK earlier this year and they were so good! With the chocolate sauce and vodka sozzled cherries… I am not a drinker so by the time I had finished mine and also what my friend left over, I was feeling slightly sozzled myself. Hee.
A few things on the list bringing back nostalgic holiday memories of food. 😀
