My Indian shop sells naan, plain and chilli, which even says vegan on it, but I'm not sure how widely available it is. I'll try and get a pick of it next time I'm in so you can keep an eye out for it.

Clay Oven Bakery is the brand.

they sell those in the little asian grocers shop next door to barbakan deli (pretty much opposite unicorn) in chorlton too, for any manc types wondering about vegan naan bread!

GAH it's not anymore? That's so annoying.

Tesco's healthy eating ones definitely used to be but I haven't looked lately.

Tesco do a vegan naan. I can't remember whether it's the low calorie or the cheapo one, but I think it's the former.

ed: Oops, didn't see Baps' post. I guess that's the one I meant.

the Lotus biscuits that others have mentioned. Amazing with coffee and pretty addictive any other time of the day.

Just checked today, The low calorie healthy choice brand or whatever it is, is vegan!

^Scratch that. Its not the case for the packets of 2 naan breads. But seemed vegan for the mini ones. hmm.

I just had some of the mini ones with dinner. They're good.

sainsburys meaty ridged crisps are labelled Vegan on the actual packet and are nice :)

I notice they are labelling a lot of products vegan now which is yay :)

The Poundland in Edinburgh (I assume stock varies in different locations depending on what other shops/suppliers have too much of) has Easter eggs! The brand is Cocoa Deli and the only dairy free one is 'dark chocolate mint crunch' so they're not quite a traditional Easter egg, but they're pretty nice. They're a hollow shell and a little smaller than most(60g). Also they're two for £1, at least in the Nicolson Street shop.

I came here to post the Cocoa Deli eggs!

Ooh, I have a Poundland around the corner from me! I'll have to check that out.

if vegan drinks covered off here (have seen hot chocolate mentioned but I eat more of this than drink when scratching around for a chocolate fix Trainspotting style - tip from someone who learnt the hard way, never inhale when eating chocolate powder) - what about Sam Smiths fruit beer? Tried strawberry and cherry (amazing - liquid cherry drops) but haven't tracked down rasberry yet. . .

Might have already been mentioned, but... Kellogg's Coco Pops!

rachell37 · **Posted:** Fri Apr 06, 2012 11:26 am

I think Kellogg's uses D3 now (since they decided to put Vitamin D in all of their cereals), so any of their cereals that have Vit D won't be vegan.

I've discovered and liked the packeted scone mixes from tesco and morrisons :)
Vegan cream teas! Yay!
I divide the packet up more than they suggest so I get about 10 little small scones rather than 6.

I've also got a dumpling mix too. Not tried it yet though.

I'm sure it probably would be way better to make them both from scratch but I like the ease of it.

Sadly whilst the red colouring (E124) is fine E132 is Indigo Carmine which isn't vegan.

EDIT: Hmmm although the app on my phone says E132 isn't veggie from googling it looks as though it's plant based. I'm confused & I really want them to be vegan!

Carmine is from crushed bugs. *Shudders*

So everyone here knows that Choccy Dodgers are vegan, yes? They are like a souped up bourbon.

Yes, and they come with the written instruction that you must eat the whole packet in one go. Honestly, it's written on the packet and it's the law.*

*some features of this statement may not be literally true. But don't risk it. Eat the whole lot.

I will! Where can I find them?

At your local biscuit emporium. They'll be with the other dodgers in the bigger supermarkets.
