Claire and I tried one of those vegan pizzas in the week.
We are both vegetarian and are always on the lookout for meat alternatives – especially me, after turning veggie in 2018.
The recent vegan craze has given rise to lots of meat-free alternatives, many from plant-based ingredients. Some of these new creations have been very nice – the Burger King Rebel Whopper especially.
Therefore, when we saw a new vegan pizza in the Chicago Town ‘Takeaway’ range, our attention was caught.
We’re not vegans, but we both love a pizza. The ‘Sticky BBQ’ sauce was also a temptation for me.
As I was nearing the end of my carnivorous days, I ate a Chicago Town Takeaway pizza. I seem to recall it contained a BBQ sauce, as well as a lot of meat. I remember particularly enjoying this sauce.
I had tried jackfruit on pizza before. It wasn’t a success, but I was prepared to give it another chance, thinking that the sticky BBQ may bring out the best in this pretend meat.
The sauce did nothing to make jackfruit any more appealing. To make matters worse, the cheese wasn’t dairy. It was fake cheese.
“THIS IS FAKE CHEESE, FOLKS”
Before you all ask me what we expected from a vegan pizza – of course we knew that the cheese would be dairy-free. What we did not expect was for it to be horrible.
The pizza looked nasty and didn’t smell too good. I did try some, but it was barely a nibble – more of a lick.
I don’t think I’ll be buying fake cheese again. As for jackfruit…
Jackfruit is a terrible meat alternative. Linda McCartney would be spinning in her grave.

- Veggies Are Not Vegans
Something which is starting to increasingly 'get my goat' is companies who appear to believe that vegetarians are the same breed as vegans.
I am in the former if the two and have been so for two years. My wife has been a veggie for as long as I have known her.

Jackfruit. One of the latest fake meats, now being used to satisfy the increasing fad that is veganism.
I gave Jackfruit a go this evening on my pizza. My pizza made with 100% dairy cheese.

I have been wearing an imaginary black armband for the past two days. I am mourning the death of a loved one.

Claire and I have been checking the Deliveroo takeaway delivery website for sometime now. We were getting increasingly frustrated that none of the popular restaurants were available in our post code.

However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
