X is as cheap as Y so why the fuck is A more expensive than B?
Do they not just give you a big box of prednisone to keep at home?
I think it’s just much cheaper to use animal gelatin though, for mass production anyway.
Side note: M&S do a veggie gummy sweet range called Colin The Caterpillar and it’s fucking banging. If you’re veggie and not tried it you’re missing out.
Trust me veggies, you breathe in a lot more bacon particles floating about the air each day than is in £1,000,000 worth of these fivers.
Yep, but if they can do the same with wheat and soy flour then I don’t know why they can’t do the same to replace gelatin.
@eems, same point to you.
I’d love to go vegetarian but I don’t think I could live without fivers
(By the same, I mean using ingredients at a similar price, not necessarily the exact same ingredients)
well, firstly[quote=“colon_closed_bracket, post:29, topic:9142”]
if they can do the same with wheat and soy flour

they can’t, it’s a completely different product from actual mince. and secondly [quote=“colon_closed_bracket, post:29, topic:9142”]
I don’t know why they can’t do the same to replace gelatin.

because, again, gelatin is a different thing from mince and from wheat and soy flour
I’m horribly allergic to something (sulphites) that it’s not even legally required to list if they aren’t an additive, and which turn up in a surprising number of things as a natural preservative under a variety of names. Always a fun voyage of puking/asthma/hives/swollen face discovery.
The reason veggie sweets exist and ones containing animal gelatine continue to exist is because they taste better. Like obvs it’s great that veggies have a passable version they can eat, and even better if it got to the level where you couldn’t taste the difference, but no one who’s eaten a percy pig and it’s veggie counterpart could argue that with a straight face
Delicious fruity hoof gum.
Yep, I get your point; you’ve made it several times and with increasing levels of sarcasm.
Twice! And with a perfectly stable level of extreme sarcasm thank you very much!
Thankfully, the £50 note is 100% vegetarian. My life has not been impacted.
banknuts
were you watching? They said no one would find out!
Yep. No wine. No cider. Scrutinise the label of every alcoholic drink.
I suddenly became allergic when I was 21-22. Must be my body’s revenge for the terrible cider and lambrini I drank as a teen. (The nasty newsagents vodka has not yet come back to haunt me).
shit man, alcoholic (or any) drinks have fuck all information about the ingredients as well
Mostly just stick to beer and spirits for that reason.
