Vive_La_Villa Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 So is the future synthetic meat? I’d love to eat a synthetic steak where no animal has been killed and it’s a juicy as ever whilst packed with healthy fats and proteins. Will this ever happen?

Xann Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Looking to take her for a nice meal somewhere in Town. It's not been the best year, so I'll chuck £ at it, if the place is right? Even Michelin star vegan restaurants look dull. Didn't choose the dullest pic for effect. This is sort of average. I'm sure the dressing is lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar for veggie and vegan food is high where we live. Then there's the Asian restaurants, which are pretty amazing. Finding somewhere special to eat is a challenge. There is a Michelin Star within staggering distance of home, but just the one veggie choice in the starters and mains. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brum doesn't seem that good for veggie.vegan places. A lot of restaurants with a decent Veggie section on their menu. But not very many specifically veggie/vegan places.

Stevo985 Posted June 13, 2019 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2019 Weirdly I was out in Wolverhampton a couple of weeks back and there was a new Vegan fast food place and it was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pic above is from Vegan Express. The 'fish' and chips (on the top left) is meant to be amazing. Their problem is they've not been very express to date. They'd be near as dammit 5* everywhere if their service was quicker. The first pic was from a tasting menu in the West End iirc. Looked at a few of them now. Not impressed. Might look at some niche nationality stuff? Edited June 13, 2019 by Xann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was called #Falafel (yes a hashtag in the name) But it was **** lovely. Mind you I was pretty pissed, so anything tastes nice when you're smashed. A sober taste test might be required.

Xann Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 We have a sit in Middle Eastern place that we don't go anymore. The food was fine, but the owner didn't pass the service charge to the staff. I made a scene about it apparently. We're never going back. That's what I was told later anyway There's an indoor takeaway with communal benches that does great falafel, so no great loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 You been? A friend in Earlsfield told me he'd been before, he usually comes my way for curry..He's a chef himself. He took us to a place around there that's a caf in the day and a South East Asian place in the evening. Inauspicious but great food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef friend has recommended it but we've not actually made it there yet despite planning to for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a game keeper organisation there , they had a muntjac deer there that had been killed the day before , someone did a demo on skinning it , then they cut it and showed the various cuts and how to prep it , then they fried it up and gave people samples pure heaven ... and sustainable for the hippies out there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
