Franks Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce

2009-02-02T13:32:00.004-05:00

Living around Union station has many advantages... one is people handing out free samples, which is were we got this.

A closer look at the Buffalo Wing Sauce ingredients shows: Natural Butter Type flavour. The key word is type, this might not even be butter. I called their nutritional information line at 1-800-888-0192 and a very nice dude did some sleuthing and found that it contains "no dairy" which sometimes excludes casein (which he knew about).. but then it also said "contains no animal ingredients".
He said this applies to all of their sauces.
Yay!
They are going to try to put something together to email me, I'll post it when I get it.

We first found these suckers in Florida... and now I see them at Longos (BCE place specifically)There are all kinds of flavours... but the Maple French Twists are the best in my book (these chocolate ones... not so much)

soy on the go

2007-01-25T12:13:00.000-05:00

I stumbled across a vending machine selling So Good and So Nice soy milk at York University (by the Scott Library). I thought it was pretty cool. Each drink costs $1.50 which is steep... but sometimes you just want a cold chocolate drink!
Has anyone else spotted one?

Thanks to Jim for the heads up!

Brownies

2007-01-15T16:12:00.000-05:00

I've been tipped off from another vegan-warrior that starbucks are sellling vegan-brownies. I can't find any info about them on their site. And I don't nessessarily want to support starbucks-gentrification.... but I do want to support anyone catering to vegans... if we buy them... they will offer more options!
verdict: not too cakey... as vegan brownies usually turn out to be, a nice thick frosting on top is the kicker... quite a sugar-punch for $2.07 with tax......

**sorry, not the actual picture...**

pie pie pie pie mmm pie

2006-12-30T08:15:00.000-05:00

If you haven't noticed by their heavy advertising campaign....Dominion grocery stores are selling 1lb pies, which are guarenteed to be hot during certain hours of the day (4pm-7pm or something)

They all are vegan EXCEPT the apple crumble one that has somekind of topping... other vegan flavours include: strawberry-raspberry, cherry and I think a few others.

Price: They were originally regular $4.99 but always "on-special" for $3.50. How can you go wrong? One pound of pie for $4!
Now that we are hooked they have increased the price... the new secret is to look on the "day-olds" bakery shelf and score the extra $2 off!

PASSION FLAKIES

2006-12-22T12:37:00.000-05:00

this is all scott's fault... he was in a store.. thought to himself... "what the hell.. I'll check again".... then his jaw dropped and he called Jason and read off the ingredients... then jason bought 2 of them and brought them home... then I ate one and was transported back in time to grade 8... they are that good.

Flakies used to contain gelatine... we've only "reviewed" the classic apple-cherry flavour... but as you can see there is 3-berry and caramel (watchout for milk) to find.

Now I'm patiently waiting for a jos louis!!!

SUGAR

2006-11-30T20:30:00.002-05:00

"We do not use animal products or by-products in our refining process for sugar, so Redpath Sugar products are suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans."
from their website
One of their largest refining plants is at the foot of Yonge Street, in Toronto, steps from my house... the boats the sugar come off of are amazing.
Why is sugar an issue for vegans?... bone char

Doritos 1.1

they first taste a little like ketchup chips.... and then come the heat kick to the face! (FYI version 1.0 was Spicy Barbeque which was discontinued years ago)

Double Rainbow

2005-09-15T10:50:00.000-04:00

UPDATE! SEE PURELY DECADENT!!

So, Magnetha told me about the mysterious Double Rainbow Soy Creams. It used to be available at Shopper's Drug mart, but apparently HaagenDazs as taken over.

It's also known to be found in little no-name convenience stores. If you find it in your travels let me know!

The Legend is that it's small tubs are filled with rich creamy ice cream, preferred over Soy Delicious.

Dad's CHEWY cookies

2005-08-18T07:22:00.000-04:00

>So Dad's Oatmeal cookies (even the chocolate chip variety) are vegan, and this isn't really new to me. BUT they have a new product Dad's CHEWY! They are super soft and they melt-in-your mouth. The closest thing to a Chips-Ahoy! cookie that I've had.

After Eight Mints

2005-03-31T20:04:00.000-05:00

Old school style dinner mints are vegan-rific. Beware the candy-bar style.

Now that I told my Grandmother that I love eating them, I get a box every 2 months for all kinds of occasions.

Best way to eat these: 5 at a time, slightly chilled.

Schneiders wants you! (or at least acknowledges that you exist!)

2005-03-27T10:44:00.000-05:00

So I think its a pretty big deal that a company who's only product has been meat for a very long time is recognizing that consumers want vegetarian products. Not all of their products are vegan, but this one and the "beef" strips seem to be.

We had them in a fajita and they were pretty good. The package costs $4.99, and I don't spend alot of money a week on mock meats like this, I just like the idea of sending the message to Schneiders that they should continue this line.

Longevity Brand Mock Goodness

2005-03-27T10:42:00.000-05:00

For any vegan who braves the China Town grocery market this is the sh*t to look for.

At $1.99 a can its a steal! What is abalone? and does the mock version do it justice? is beside the point. This gluten is packed with a hot curry sauce that can't compare to other brands.

Unfortunately we can't find this brand downtown Toronto anymore, so we have a stock imported from North York every few months.
