    Hey mate, After seeing your post, curious I went to check what you post. And found a very interesting post of your called The Science of Why People Hate Vegans it’s a great post with a great video I just watched fully of BiteSizeVegan.org This comments makes you look a bit more “5:37” than “5:31” Seems like your doing a bit of “5:46” and a bit of “7:03Especially this part, I would totally invite you to listen to it, it’s very interesting.

    I would even go to say you are right now actively participating to why people say those things at 10:12

    Watch your own posts, you’ll learn a lot, the video was very interesting.

    To any UK vegetarian or vegan watching this except him, I would like your help

    I’m a bit overwhelmed right now learning so much different brands, and products. I’ve got an Aldi near me where I got some “Planet Menu - Vive le Vegan” Soya Chicken" and found some fake steaks too so I’m quite happy as taht’s what I usually buy for myself at home

    I’ve been told there is also a Tesco around me, and I was wondering if anyone could tip me some good plant-based meat replacement brands that I would find at Aldi next time I go back or at Tesco, and if you knew if there was any Oat Milk? I usually buy Oat-ly in France, but I haven’t found it yet at Aldi. If you have any tips fro brands or maybe specialised stores brands I can find, it would be a pleasure to get your help on that

    Thank you in advance for any help!

      As a veggie, just wanna say I bloody love this response here. And as a UK person, welcome! I remember you saying you were due to move here, in that thread about wholesome communities recently. Hope you settle in fine!

      (We don’t do Tesco or Aldi so can’t help you with specific brands of things, but the UK is very veggie-friendly so honestly you’ll be able to pick up some decent stuff wherever you shop. Experiment and you’ll soon find your new faves. Oatly is pretty widely available here too)

        Thank you very much, and I truly think the video was very interesting!

        I have to say all the people I met are very nice and ready to help (but I’m guessing it’ll be a bit different when their will be a rugby match against France)

      Oatly should be widely available, otherwise most supermarkets now make their own brand. Personally I’m a soya milk drinker, so can’t really recommend any though.

      As for meat replacements - there are a lot, you can pretty much replace anything now from nuggets to donner to roast (like roast “chicken” or “beef”, either whole or in pieces) to cold cuts. It’s hard to say which you would like because they vary in texture and flavour, so I’d just start trying them out!
      Some brands I personally enjoy - Squeaky Bean, Oumph, Vivera. But most supermarket own brands to really good stuff nowadays, even Iceland (if you don’t have a store close by, they all deliver).

          Just noticed you mentioned Tesco. I use Tesco’s own brand oat milk for breakfast cereal. Confusingly, they have normal and long-life UHT oat milk. Get it from the fridge section, rather than the UHT stuff from the non-chilled shelves.

          Trademark laws are written in a way that obliges trademark holders to be very aggressive against potential infringement, or they risk losing the trademark.

      Hey, welcome! While I’m not a native, I’ve lived here for a few years now and would be happy to share some info!

      I have to say I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the amount of vegetarian stuff you can buy in most supermarkets here. My go-to for just adding a meat replacement into a dish is any of the “Quorn” branded stuff. I will say though that normally it needs quite a bit of salt added to it. Especially the mince is great though if you want to do something like a stir-fry or burritos. Their cold-cut looking selection is also pretty decent (the vegetarian ham slices etc), I prefer the vegetarian over the vegan options though, I think they taste a bit better

      Other than that, there is a brand called “Linda McCartney”, their stuff is pretty nice as well and on offer quite a lot.

      I haven’t been to Aldi and Lidl in a while now, not sure if they have any off-brand/own-brand options that are decent but I think it’s worth a try. Anyway, welcome :)

      And be careful when you’re in traffic, people here are terrible drivers

      Edit: oh and I forgot to say about oat milk: you can get Oatly at Tesco, Sainsbury’s etc, there is also a nice brand called Minor Figures, they have it at Tesco and Lidl sometimes. Otherwise Asda (another cheap-ish supermarket chain) and Lidl have their own brand of barista-style oat milk, can’t remember the name off the top of my head but it’s easily as good as Oatly and much cheaper

        Thank you so much! I’ll try looking for those brands around! I’ve actually almost entered into a motorcycle already, crossing the road I’m not watching on the right side yet, especially when there is a roundabout But the people here are very very very nice I have to say, or I am good to speak with nice people
