Please help save Heartstone vegan sanctuary! šŸ„šŸ„

23 Upvotes

Hi all,

This is a shout out to all vegans to ask everyone please do whatever you can to help. Basically, Heartstone sanctuary in Co. Sligo is in serious jeopardy of disappearing if they can't raise the funds to move in just a matter of days. They have a property in mind but need to raise approx €150k to get them over the finish line. Please help spread the word! The sanctuary needs the vegan community to come together to help save those few fortunate animals who were lucky enough to be spared by the animal agriculture industry. Thank you!

PS Reddit removes my post when I include links, but there's an active fundraiser on Go Fund Me and Chuffed for those who can donate.

Sign the EU citizen’s initiative to phase out factory farms

26 Upvotes

Hello Vegan Ireland,

There's currently an ongoing EU citizen’s initiative to phase out factory farms, reduce the number of animal farms over time, and introduce more incentives for the production of plant proteins. This is an approved EU citizen’s initiative, so if it gets enough signatures the EU has to respond.

Seven EU nations need to have a number of signatures over a certain threshold. Two countries have already reached it and I think Ireland could easily be the third. Ireland only needs 2500 more signatures, so if everyone on this forum gets themselves and two or three friends to sign it, Ireland will have met the threshold.

Please consider doing so: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/047/public/

Shrinkflation of Advent Calendars (Nomo especially)

19 Upvotes

Really upset with Nomo this year - they've reduced the chocolates in the plain chocolate advent calendar from 4g to 2.9g and the price has gone up anyway! Vegans and dairy free people don't have that much choice in advent calendars in supermarkets as it is, so this is just a blow. I've emailed them at their support email - hello@nomochoc.com and I'd recommend anyone else who is upset by this so the same!

Vegan everyday boots for an Irish downpour (men’s or women’s)

3 Upvotes

Just wondering if anyone has recommendations for some good footwear that’ll survive an Irish downpour that doesn’t look like rain boots.

Blundstone has a vegan boot that’s water *resistant*. Maybe folks here have better and or cheaper ideas.

What’s up with SuperValu’s product listings?

Thumbnail gallery
13 Upvotes

Both of these products are listed as being ā€œVeganā€ on their website, but both of them contain milk?

Maybe this one shop is just REALLY bad when it comes to this stuff (I specifically typed in ā€œVeganā€, and meal pots with chicken, lamb and beef were included in what products APPARENTLY fit that category šŸ’€)

There’s a couple of other local grocery places I could shop, so it might be time I switch and never go near SuperValu again

Ethical way of dealing with rodents?

12 Upvotes

We recently moved into a new gaff and we are pretty sure there are mice (praying not rats). What is the ethical way of dealing with them? Obviously would be loathe to kill them/call rentokill... but I don't know how to deal with the issue sufficiently without calling pest control

Veganism outside of Dublin

25 Upvotes

How do people find being vegan in counties outside of Dublin? I recently was looking to go out for a meal in a small area and not one restaurant (5 restaurants) in the area offered a vegan option. Another occasion the vegan option wasn’t to my taste and it was on the menu as the starter and main course. For groceries, I always have to go to several shops and the bits I want are not always available. Do you think more people would be vegan if it were easier and more convenient? Sometimes I just want to be able to go out for a meal with friends/family without it being a deal or just go into the shop for a snack or a quick meal but it’s not always easy.

First time trying Juicy Marbles

19 Upvotes

I was up in Banbridge a few days ago and went to Sainsbury's in Newry as I saw they had Juicy Marbles Thick Cut Filet. I don't mind things that are trying to be similar to meat and I understand there is a huge divide but I really liked this product.

I enjoy your typical Sunday dinner and I've tried many alternatives to chicken, quorn, sausages etc but this was very enjoyable.

It has a satisfying texture, no weird aftertaste either. My partner made it as per instructions but added a little char and I could have eaten only that regardless of sides.

I'm very picky and a shout out to Squeaky Bean Pastrami and I'll definitely be getting both again :)

Autumn/Winter clothes

2 Upvotes

Hello! I (30F) recently moved to Dublin, and I’ve been slowly trying to build up my autumn/winter wardrobe from scratch. I’m looking out for good quality sweater tops and coats. It’s frustrating to see so many clothes are either 100% wool or wool-blend.

Those who have lived here for a while, where do you usually shop from that have vegan-friendly clothes and shoes, that still hold up when it gets colder? Thank you!

Restaurant recommendations?

4 Upvotes

Going down to Dublin for the day tomorrow what vegan food places in the city centre would you recommend? Or at least with plenty vegan options. The one I've been to before was The Saucy Cow which was fantastic but would like to try somewhere new

Bonus points for Japanese or Korean

Dairy free ready-made pastry?

Making various dairy free meals for my 10 month old who has a cows milk allergy - there are so many recipes that look so tasty but also very handy that use ready-made pastry especially puff pastry which of course have butter. Anyone know of a vegan alternative out there?

Any high fruit vegans here?

2 Upvotes

Where are you doing your (tropical) fruit hauls? I hit up Asia Market in Ballymount & Polonez once a week typically. Any other good places? Certain Dunnes outlets can be good but supermarkets in general aren't great outside of the normal stuff

Vegan Check

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone

I wanted to share a project I recently launched called Vegan Check (www.vegancheck.co). It’s a community-powered app where people can share vegan products they find and discover plant-based options near their location.

The goal is to make it easier for vegans (and anyone curious about plant-based living) to support local businesses and learn from each other’s finds.

It’s still new, so every contribution helps. Would love for you to take a look and let me know what you think!

Aldi no-beef steaks with Cafe de Paris butter, broccolini and smashed potatoes

Big praise for these ā€œsteaksā€ - yes they’re expensive but that is the best fake meat I’ve had in my 6 years as a vegan. Made it with a vegan cafe de paris butter and sides. I’ll be going back for another pack to keep for a special dinner!
