They like vegetarians in England.. and fat people too!
July 15th, 2007 @ 12:31We’re off to England tomorrow morning for two weeks of buying new things, eating good food and enjoying life and time off from work. We will obviously be having a fabulous time and will be calling each other dah’ling all the time (after all isn’t that the most english you can ever be?). But besides that, we are looking forward to going to a genuine English pub with genuine English pub food. Yeah, ecxept it’s all vegetarian and vegan. Did you know, dah’lings, that there’s a vegetarian pub in Bath? it’s called The Porter! (Which happens to be a very short distance from my lovely boyfriend’s mother’s house.) It’s all just too fantastic to be true. And as if that wasn’t enough there’s also a really good (apparently) vegetarian restaurant in Bath that we might go to called Demuths. They also have a cooking school (I needs me a birthday and presents!).
Apart from that there are plenty of food related things I will be trying and taking home to Sweden.
- Parmazano – it’s cheap in England, I love it and it’s sooo good.
- Vegan Worcestershire sauce – the only type of Worcestershire sauce we have in Sweden has anchovies in it.
- Jelly -Can I get an amen? Amen! (I’ve never actually had jelly, ever!)
- Vegegel – Instead of gelatine, for gelling… things.
- Red food colouring – because it has carmine in it in Sweden and I neeeeds my red food colouring.
- Chips! Thick and greasy with vinegar on (I’ve never tried vinegared chips)
- Crisps – PRAWN cocktail flavoured is vegan, how wack is that?
And totally not food related at all (or I guess it is in a way), I’m a fat girl. And proudly so, but it seems like this shit country I live in hate all us thick ladies and won’t make any clothes for us. Therefore I am going to spend my hard earned money shopping away at the fat loving stores of England. Like Evans. I love you England, and god save the queen. I guess.
It’s summer!

Comment by din syster sofie - July 15th, 2007 at 8:11 pmHow fun – a trip to England! Not to worry, Vegan Worchesterschire sauce is pretty unheard of around the good ol’ USA too.
As well as clothes for anyone who’s bigger than a stick!! I so loved your comments about shopping – who can blame you? I’d be right there behind you if I could!!
Comment by Tofu Mom - July 16th, 2007 at 6:25 amYou, my friend, are not fat! Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout??
Yay, have fun in jolly good England! You have not lived until you’ve had chips with malt vinegar. It’s heaven on earth. Perfect pub food.

Comment by fotoblog - July 17th, 2007 at 3:13 amHello! I happened upon your site through one of the blog ping sites (can’t remember which one).
And I have to give you a big thanks for the Evans link. I had actually given up hope that I would one day find clothes in large sizes, that didn’t look like tents.. I’m going to London in august, and Evans will be my first stop there. So thank you, thank you, thank you!
Comment by Hilweh - July 17th, 2007 at 11:28 amTofu mum – I`ve already bought a few nice clothes! England is lovely.
Bazu – Oh yes I am! And damn proud about it too
And I will!
Hilweh – I don’t know what size you are, but Dorothy Perkins carry nice things up to size 22 too. 22 is a European 50 so it’s pretty good. I’m a size 20 myself (18 american and 48 european)
Comment by Emmie - July 17th, 2007 at 2:22 pmIt looks so easy to be a veg in England!
Comment by dreamy - July 18th, 2007 at 4:35 amWhat is the grey/dark yellow ingredient used in the pizza btw?
Dreamy – I’m guessing you mean the grilled zucchini, that’s the only one I can see on the pizza that’s grey/dark yellow.
Comment by Emmie - July 18th, 2007 at 8:07 amOh I see! thanks!
Comment by dreamy - July 21st, 2007 at 12:57 pmAh, we love vinegar chips but its hard finding good ones now that we’re here in Dubai. You’ll enjoy your trip to Britain, despite what the rest of the world says we have lots of good treats and sweets.
We’ll be writing a post about this one over at our blog if you’d like to check us out sometime.
TA, a couple of british flowers.

Comment by johanna3 - July 25th, 2007 at 4:11 amHow is it I’ve never stumbled across your blog before? I love it and I’m adding you to my bloglines right now. Is that a salt and pepper shaker next to your veggies? That pizza looks so fresh and delicious. I could devour the whole thing right now!
