Vegans are weird. I love me some sweet beef and some eggs for breakfast, but to each his own I suppose. That's not quite what this topic is about.
I have some friends coming over tomorrow. There will be four of us. all of them have been friends for a long time but there is an issue. One is a vegan and none of the rest of us are.
While she will make cakes out of the box (because replacing it with fake eggs and soy oil combats the powdered milk in the mix or something...yeah, silly), wont eat chicken eggs but is pro-choice, and thinks a cow doesn't need to be milked, if we don't have something she will eat, she just wont eat. That is no good. We were going to order pizza, make some popcorn and all sorts of stuff. This wouldn't be an issue if she were a vegetarian or something, skip out on the meat, east enough, but she wont eat the cheese, milk, butter, any of it.
Anyway, onto the question. I was wondering if there are any vegan friendly snacks that I could pick up in an average grocery store. Something kinda fun, party-like food, that wont break my wallet. I would appreciate the help very much.
We're not that weird!
xd heart I'm a "nearly vegan" too. I'm probably like a 95% vegan b/c I eat things like honey and I generally don't interrogate waiters on what's in bread at restaurants. Not eating eggs most likely for her has nothing to do with potential baby chicks, but rather the treatment of egg-laying hens is extremely cruel. There are people on both sides of the abortion debate in veganism, but being pro-choice isn't necessarily hypocritical. I'd be pro life, but I really don't think that banning abortions will reduce the amount of abortions that happen, just the level of safety that they have. (think coat-hangers in back-alleys by shady medical practitioners). And some people just shouldn't have children, hands down. No one should have to be born into the world to a hostile environment that reminds them daily that they were a mistake. But I digress. (you brought it up!
biggrin ) I've found a good number of vegan treats:
Red Vines or Twizzlers,
air heads,
nerds,
lemonheads,
BBQ and Garlic Soy Crisps (they are so nummy!),
graham crackers,
popcorn packages that don't contain milk, whey, casein, or other dairy derivatives,
virtually all sodas,
apple cider and juices,
potato chips! (just not sour cream and onion or cheese flavors or anything like that)
Salsa,
fruits and veggies!!! (sorry but I love healthy food)
teddy grahams,
regular oreos,
Some guacamole's (most include dairy though, but if you like mashing avacados, lemon juice, and salt together...voilà !)
And, it might be too expensive, but in the frozen foods section there is "no cheese" pizza by the brand name Amy's that is quite delicious and is vegan.
Hope this helped! May compassion prevail!
