Hi blue, haven't seen you in a while :)

btw what r u doing in the aus forum?

imposter :evil:

no i arrived back a little over a week ago

I use "Mighty Mite". It's very similare and all Australian owned and made.
Poifect. I was only aware of Marmite and Vegemite and Marmite makes me :spew:


yes there peanut nougart cake the one u eat warm is to die for

are you veg or vegan?

because i find soul mama to not have many vegan options and nothing overly special for vegans

I'm vegan. They don't have as many vegan options as vegetarian options (one vegan dessert last time I went) but what they do have is amazing. I'm drooling just thinking about it :lick:

buzzola u should attend the next vegansunite social gathering

buzzola u should attend the next vegansunite social gathering

I've been thinking about it but I'm terribly socially phobic :sweat:

Where do you guys do all your shopping? I see so many vegan products on http://www.vnv.org.au that I can't find anywhere, but they must sell them somewhere in Melbourne.

I congratulate you for being about to eat that stuff! Vegemite yes. Marmite yes. Promite yes. Mighty mite? *runs and spits it in the bin*

What are you looking for in particular?

Have I missed much?

No. Actually, I don't really know, I haven't been here either.

Oh, and by the way, Mighty Mite is waaay better than Marmite.

tell me what u want and i might be able to tell you where

if you want tofutti products- ie cuties (ice cream) or soy cheese then pidermontes (not sure of spelling)- iga supermarket in fitzroy sells them

if u want nutritional yeast then the health food store in smith street sells it

Does anyone here live (or know of any VBers) in Surfers?
I'm going there yay!

Woohoo! I work on the Gold Coast! My boyfriend lives in Broadbeach which is right near Surfers. If you wanna know the few good veggie restaurants on the Coast - or where to rage around Brisbane PM me....

I've been popping in & out of this thread... it'd be nice to make some local friends since, you know, moving to another country can be a bit hard on the social aspect of life (especially considering there are 2 people in the company - me & my coworker) ... sooo... any sydney area veggies interested in doing a potluck sort of thing???? Or maybe even just doing dinner @ a veg place & going out for drinks afterward??

I need some social activity! :D

Those two places are where I do most of my shopping ^_^

I'm interested in finding vegan mock meats (one's that don't contain traces of anything), vegan jelly crystals (the 2 brands I'm aware of are OSEM and Lieber's), a vegan soy cheese besides tofutti slices that doesn't contain milk protein (King Land apparently make one that's vegan). Also just general junk like biscuits and gummy lollies and stuff like that would be good :vebo:

---------------------------------------------

Just got back from Smith Street, found some vegetarian-friendly gummy bears called "Cheery Bears" http://www.betterlivingmarketing.com.au/cheerybears.html. Anybody know if they're vegan? The only questionable thing on the back is "glazing agents" (trust me to buy something on a Saturday when all the information lines are closed :cry: )

Sure, I'd be into that. I live in Wollongong but I work in Sydney. I'd love to meet some Aussie veg*ns.

Thanks for that, I'll check it out next time I'm out that way.

Piedimontes have Kingland Mayo and Cream Cheese but I've never seen the soy cheese there. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough *shrugs*

Well, my boyfriend liked the bears so I'm still willing to try them ^_^ He said they weren't chewy like the real thing though which is a disappointment.

i know of only one health food store and it is kind of expensive

Hi every one. I'm new here and it sometimes feels like I'm the only Vegan in Tassie
