| 2 | I lasted 2 days because I found the budget for it prohibitive. lilyfield - 2019-11-27 06:34:00 |

| 6 | Make your own oat milk, very cheap. I like soy so use a generic brand in a blue box, it has a very mild flavour. Eggs are easy to replace, egg substitutes are available, most things can be replaced. Are all pulses a problem for you? frances1266 - 2019-11-27 09:36:00 |
| 7 | You can even make pavlova nowadays from chickpea brine, tastes just like the egg one. frances1266 - 2019-11-27 13:13:00 |
| 8 | I value my health too much geldof - 2019-11-27 14:02:00 |
| 9 | Never. And husband already has iron issues, last thing he needs is to skop haem iron. lythande1 - 2019-11-27 15:27:00 |
| 10 | I havent eaten meat for around 40 years, have never taken an iron supplement or have never been anaemic. frances1266 - 2019-11-27 16:24:00 |
| 11 | Neither have I. lilyfield - 2019-11-27 20:41:00 |

Everyone is different - I have been vegetarian for 30 plus years and have to take daily iron supplements. At one point I had to have a series of iron injections. Now I take the supplements and the Doctor tests my iron levels twice a year. magin - 2019-12-04 11:37:00 |

Or failing both those things, you are either eating enough of the foods that have been fortified with iron, b12 and folic acid or not telling the whole truth. Like geldof, I value my health way too much to follow some Seventh Day Adventist propaganda. As a 10 year vegetarian I became anaemic on the 7th year but didn't recognise the symptoms till I mentioned to my doctor my inability to get through the day without sleeping. She immediately knew I was anaemic. I also value my time. Who wants to spend hours and hours cooking up pulses and sauces and making yucky fake milk and cheese, etc when meat, fish, eggs, seafood and dairy will provide me with excellent nutrition at a fraction of the time spent in the kitchen making vegan/vegetarian food? And guess what. It doesn't give me cancer, despite what Colin Campbell would have you believe with his statistically corrupted research that was financed by Seventh Day Adventists and the vegan/vegetarian lobby.

| 16 | I don't think Colin Campbell was a Seventh Day Adventist, it's For anyone who's interested in a different perspective here's a link to an essay by Chris Kresser, which has a lot of useful links. https://chriskresser.com/rest-in-peace-china-study/ Edited by davidt4 at 7:13 pm, Wed 4 Dec davidt4 - 2019-12-04 19:13:00 |

I tested that pavlova out (I'm not vegan but family member is) and you're right, it does whip up and cook exactly like an egg pav, including the outside crust. I found the stench of the canned chickpea slime very off putting though until it mostly disappeared part way through cooking. As a traditional pav baker of fifty years I did notice a difference in the inside texture and taste overall, and wouldn't make it again - but I guess it would be an ok substitute for someone who had gone vegan and really missed their pav.

| 20 | I believe that white beans are better than chickpeas although I tried it last Christmas and it tasted just like the egg white one to me. Edited by frances1266 at 9:06 am, Thu 5 Dec frances1266 - 2019-12-05 09:05:00 |

I recently saw a cooking show where a contestant made a chickpea meringue, and one judge commented that he could still taste chickpea. Maybe it's just down to individual taste. If I ever make one again, will try the white bean brine; thanks. kaddiew - 2019-12-05 12:04:00 |
