After they've arrived, I guess ;). Not sure when that will be. Maybe two weeks from now? (I'M THINKING MARITIME MUSEUM YES I AM)

A new plant based Turkish take away opened on the Amsterdamsestraatweg here in Utrecht ! It's called Çigköftem (apparently part of a larger chain of Turkish take aways?) and they do durums, burgers and falafel like balls from a bulgur/tomato puree/spices mixture. Will definitely try this out some time !

You should, it's delicious! Be prepared that the food is cold though, not like falafel at all. Have a look at this thread: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=21722

Vegan condom buying meet-up in Amsterdam?

Sheese Alert!!!

De Biomarkt in Amsterdam has Blue Style Sheese and Smoked Cheddar in stock again!! Get it while you can!

Oooh, blue cheese! Might be able to hop over there on Tuesday...

I'm up for another meetup too. :-)

I wanted some puff pastry today, and was checking the ingredients on the Koopmans brand packages. The 'origineel' type is made with non-dairy margarine, but it has vitamine D3. I personally don't avoid D3 (yet), but I guess many people do.

As far as I could tell, the non-puff pie pastry (hartige taart deeg) was 100% vegan though. I see some savory pies in my future!

Oh, I can't believe I've never mentioned this before. Do you guys know Professor Grunschnabel's ice cream? It's 100% plant based and they make really really interesting flavor combinations! It's not the cheapest stuff but it's a really great occasional treat. I think my favorites so far have been the Banana Bahiana, and another flavor that's not listed on their site with apple and almonds. Soooooooo yummy!

I've been wanting to try the Grünschnabel stuff.

Oh, I see they have it at toko Dun Yong, I know what I'm going to do next time I'm there...

Wait. Hold up. Where can I buy that, lepelaar? They sound amazing!

lepelaar · **Posted:** Mon Jul 16, 2012 11:20 am

Ok, that sucks. It looks like there are no places in Groningen selling it yet.

I just bought two pints today. I'll do my best to restrain myself so that there's some left when you're here! :D

It's miiiineeee! I am going to make a chard/pasta/blue cheese stirfry very soon :-P

I also got some No Muh. We ate the herbed variety over a fennel risotto yesterday. So good! I think it is similar to hard goat's cheese. You could definitely serve it to an omni without them noticing it's not dairy.

No but I was glad to discover Toko Centraal in Utrecht now sells it! They have a poster on the door.

I'm in Berlin at the moment and bought it here. I am SO cynical about fauxmage in general, but this one was actually pretty decent. :) Nice to know that the Blue Sheeze is out there for when I fancy it. :)

In Belgium, Ijsboerke has vegan magnums too.

OMG WHERE??????????????????????? :O

I don't think any shop actually carries them, atleast not that I've seen. So you have to order on ijsboerke.be and pick a (week)day on which they can deliver to your house.

Emilie · **Posted:** Fri Aug 10, 2012 11:00 am

oh? but you know -i've bought their cones at my delhaize :)

When we lived off the Haarlemmerstraat in Amsterdam, an Asian fast food place called Ralph's used to sell the Grunschnabels but I think that location closed..but maybe there's another location (there were several a few years ago).

It's also sold in Dun Yong supermarket on the Zeedijk! That's one of my favorite places to shop.

Heads up: Ekoplaza has something call Raw Bites which look like Larabars and taste similar.

Emilie · **Posted:** Thu Aug 16, 2012 3:29 pm

tried the "houmous curry" from delhaize ... Is that new?
Well THAT is the taste of typical belgian curry sauce!)
(so far exclusively served on CHICKEN... omg I hadn't had this sauce for years!!!!)
:-D

discovered two hours ago. took the blueberry one. had to drink it ad fundum.

The yogurt is good isn't it! I like the plain flavor best.

These are accidentally vegan:

I normally don't buy candy, but I think I will think of some reason to 'reward' myself :-P
