A bit of googling revealed that there was a new place called Mirch Masala, so I loaded up their website on my phone and my jaw hit the floor as I started browsing the menu. The range of vegan and vegetarian options is almost beyond belief. https://conoroneill.com/2021/10/17/how-flahavans-oat-milk-can-outmarket-the-big-brands/ Sun, 17 Oct 2021 13:00:00 +0000 https://conoroneill.com/2021/10/17/how-flahavans-oat-milk-can-outmarket-the-big-brands/ I was so pleased when I heard Flahavan’s was getting into the oat milk market. As the most famous porridge brand in Ireland, it seemed like an obvious move.

Having Flahavans as an option along with the usual Oatly, Califia, Minor Figures and Alpro means I can now finally support Irish farmers again with my cuppa tea and coffee. https://conoroneill.com/2020/06/19/irish-lockdown-vegan-brown-bread-recipe/ Fri, 19 Jun 2020 06:17:32 +0000 https://conoroneill.com/2020/06/19/irish-lockdown-vegan-brown-bread-recipe/ In January 2020, I went 99.9% plant-based as a way of kick-starting serious weight loss after 20 years of being either overweight or obese. The only initial exception was cow milk in my tea. I did similar back in 2016 but that was my silly “6 Day Vegan” plan where I ate chicken curry on a Friday. Both times I’ve used Veganuary as the starting point. After two months at 99.
