There are a bunch of snacky things in Marks & Spencer that are vegan - Sweet chilli flavour mini rice cakes, and barbecue wholegrain crispy things among them (and very tasty!)

I also like their little pots of salads for lunch - I had an edamame bean salad today for lunch, 'twas very good!

The delicatoboll at IKEA is no longer vegan. I'm going to post a thread elsewhere to see if this applies in the US too, but be aware they contain egg here now.

oh nooooo.... i'm sorry...
Well, at least they're still vegan over here, I just checked the company website. But that's just ridiculus, putting eggs in them just like that. I posted a recipe in the thread in Food&Cooking...hope that helps!

Found "Rough Scottish Oatcakes" from Tesco in my boyfriend's apartment. I'm now obsessed! I brought a box back to the US but I need more already (it's been 30 hours).

I think they sell Nairns stuff in Whole Foods now and they do a decent Scottish Oatcake if I remember correctly?!

CHIPSTICKS! are vegan! this is exciting news, I was pretty pissed off with walkers for putting milk in their s&v crisps but I will partially forgive them now I know about chipsticks.

tesco own brand chipsticks are vegan too. I totes didn't eat most of a bag at Christmas before my mum prised them from my clutches.

Which section of the supermarket are the jus rol croissants in? I have looked and looked in Sainsburys and ASDA and can't find them.

In the fridge section with the shortening & ready to roll pastry.

Ok thanks i will keep looking. I haven't seen it in the Lewes road Sainsburys yet.

I think this one is actually purposefully vegan, but Waitrose is now selling Lazy Day (of the millionaires shortbread) chocolate chip shortbread, chocolate gingers, and ginger nuts - all labeled vegan. The shortbread is nice.

Oh, thanks! I didn't know about the millionaire's shortbread and have been craving that and normal shortbread for a while.

My local Farmfoods have Bolands brand fig rolls, which seem to be ok although they contain something called sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate which seems to be made from lactic acid. The allergen labelling is good:

Contains: Gluten. Produced on a line handling Milk, Soya and and a factory handling Tree Nuts, Egg but on a different line. Suitable for Vegetarians.

Please, please...does anyone know if Hobnobs are vegan? I used to eat them all the time before I was vegan; a friend would send them to me from the UK until I was able to find them in a store here in California. I love that oaty goodness.

Thanks for any info you can provide!

jogirl · **Posted:** Sat Jan 29, 2011 2:55 am

I don't eat them (too sweet for me), but I'm pretty sure they are.

rachell37 · **Posted:** Sat Jan 29, 2011 5:22 am

Plain Hobnobs (and most store-brand oat biscuits) are vegan.

That is so interesting: one of the reasons I love them is that they are not too sweet for me. Yank biscuits are horrifically oversweetened.

Hurray! Now I will get to wallow in 'em on my diabetes cheat day, which is my birthday. Thanks!

Tonight I found little vegan honeycomb pieces in the cake decorating section in Sainsburys which I think will be great in homemade ice cream or as cupcake sprinkles, or just eating as is. They were next to some butterscotch chips and for a minute my heart soared with hope, but alas, the butterscotch chips were tainted with milk.

baps · **Posted:** Tue Feb 01, 2011 4:06 am

I bought some of those honeycomb chips a while ago, I still haven't made anything with them though.

MessyVeggie · **Posted:** Tue Feb 01, 2011 4:12 am

How is it possible to keep honeycomb chips around without eating them? That's like buying a box of cereal and making it last longer than a day!

I know, I can't believe I haven't scoffed them. I've been saving them for something special, I just don't know what yet.

Yes! Really liked it. You do mean the hot cross buns with icing on yeah?

Whaaa?!! Is it from the fresh bake section?

Does anyone know if the Sainsbury's fresh bake hot cross buns are vegan? I hope so, I had two toasted for lunch and they were delicious!

Sandya · **Posted:** Sat Feb 05, 2011 8:40 am

I forgot about these and sorry if someone already mentioned them.
Sainsburys basics (their own store brand with the white background and orange writing) Instant Noodles Chicken Curry Flavour. They are only 10p!! Says on the bottom right of the package Vegetarian and Vegan.
I like to boil these up, mix in stir fry veg (from their produce section) or whatever frozen veg I have in the freezer, some chili sauce, maybe a bit of coconut milk, some fried or not fried tofu. It makes a great quick and easy meal.

I can't see them on here but then it's likely that they're a seasonal item. The Apple + Cinnamon ones in the packet from M+S are definitely vegan though. I looked at the packet today, not the regular hot cross buns sadly :(

I was reading ingredients in the snack aisle a couple of days ago (as you do) and it looks like Hunky Dorys cheese and onion crisps are vegan!
