What really spurred me on to creating a blog was joining the
UK Vegan Food Swap. A friend told me about it recently and I just couldn't wait to join up! All you have to do is put together a package of vegan treats, send it to your designated swap partner, wait, and then you receive a box of goodies back! Amazeballs! A great way to disover new food and connect with some fellow vegans!
This month was my first month taking part and I was ridiculously excited! I have recently been to America, so whilst there I stocked up on loads of vegan goodies ready to send my swap partner. They included giant vegan cookies, fake jerky, sweets and other non-healthy varieties of exciting vegan treats not available in the UK! My swap partner Chrissie is a new vegan and was dead chuffed with them! Yay for sharing the vegan love!
So I was over the moon when my food parcel from Sasha turned up. Here's what she sent me:
Jammy Dodgers! Only one of my favourite biscuits! (The chocolate ones are vegan too). Needless to say these won't last long.
I had to stop myself ripping open the popcorn long enough to photograph it, I really love popcorn, and I've not seen this make or flavour before.
Love Hearts *sigh*need I say more!
The package also included Lemon Sherberts by Monty Bojangles, and Wasabi & Soy sauce flavour almonds (intriguing!).
The Halva was a revelation to me. A Greek desert, I'd always thought halva contained honey, so have never tried it, but it turns out that this variety is sweetened by grape juice! Brilliant!
The final item in my amazing box of food was Mushroom Ketchup! What? Well according to the bottle it can be added to stews, sauces, soups and gravy - so stay tuned to see what happens with this!
