Why have I only just found out this exists!! I've never heard of whittakers, can you get it from the supermarket?

**almai927** · 13-08-2012 00:17

Yeah the orange one is good too!!
I find it at some woolworths and all big w stores

and it's about $4.50 or $3 on special for a largish size block!

Sorry if this question has already been asked but where do you get nutritional yeast from? And vegan cheese? From health food shops?

**almai927** · 13-08-2012 00:35

Nutritional yeast is also called savoury yeast. I get mine from health food stores. It's easy to find these days.
Some supermarkets sell vegan cheese. Depends what area you live in otherwise specialty vegan shops.

Haven't read all 19 pages, but I have a question of my vegan online friends. Sorry if they're stupid questions...

I'm having a BBQ (please don't hate me) for my DDs first birthday and I have some vegan friends coming. They offered to being their own food but I said no, we were happy to cater for them.

I believe sanitarium does vegan sausages, are these in supermarkets or do I need to get them somewhere else?

Possibly my stupidest questions... Is bread vegan? If not is there a brand I can buy? Im planning on making fairy bread and will use nutalex, I assume sprinkles are vegan.

I've heard Praise mayonaise is vegan so I will use that on salads.

For dessert is there anything I can make besides fruit salad? Or apparently Whittakers chocolate

?

Thanks for all your help.

I'm pretty sure the sanitarium sausages (from Coles fridge section) are vegan (I'm gluten free so can't eat them but I'm pretty sure they are vegan)
Bread is usually vegan, just check the label. And steer clear of the added omega 3 ones (added fish)

With desert you can look in the health food section, Leda brand makes rediculously delicious ready made rum balls or look for the Orgran brand stuff. They have packet cakes and if it calls for eggs, you can replace with 'not egg' also found in the health food section.

Good on you for doing this for your friends! And good luck!

Cheers, I'll have a look in the health food shops. I haven't seen any vegan cheese in supermarkets here. I live in Tasmania so I reckon health food shops are my best bet

Also, sprinkles aren't always vegan- depends how strict your friends are.

Look on the pack for ingredients such as gelatin (additive 441), squashed beetles (colour 120), squashed bugs (glazing agent 904) or beeswax (901)
