Dino Sore Point<br />

Don’t get me wrong, I’m<br />

up for trying the latest vegan<br />

KitKat, Dairy Free Ice<br />

Cream, super melting no<br />

moo un-cheese, un-honey,<br />

pepperoni style vegan<br />

pastrami jackfruit and kale<br />

free burger as the next wide<br />

eyed ‘kid in a vegan sweetie<br />

shop’ old skool vegan. We<br />

even tried the new Quorn<br />

Roarsomes dinosaur bites<br />

(purely for professional research<br />

reasons) and found<br />

them to be any thing but<br />

dinosaur like. They look a<br />

bit an armadillo or a pangolin-like<br />

which I thought was a<br />

tad insensitive considering<br />

pangolins got the blame for<br />

starting the global Covid19<br />

pandemic. Secondly, I imagined<br />

dinosaurs to taste a<br />

bit more swampy. Perhaps<br />

a little omega 3 DHA rich algae<br />

would improve things?<br />

Anyway I’d imagined this vegan<br />

turkey Twizzler-esque<br />

Captain Birdseye inspired<br />

vegan extinction rebellion<br />

French fry accompaniment<br />

would be just the red flag<br />

the spluttering anti vegan<br />

Gammons had been waiting<br />

for. But no.<br />

Egg faced Porky Pie<br />

Wrath<br />

Gammon ire was unleashed<br />

in an “There! I told you<br />

so!” moment on the Tesco<br />

launch of the Vegan Scotch<br />

Egg with “more than 50 ingredients”<br />

which was, as<br />

you’d expect, not Scottish<br />

and contained absolutely<br />

no egg. Sarah Augustine<br />

from Squeaky Bean said<br />

the market is lacking vegan<br />
