Yes, high winds mean that Reading and Leeds festival-goers have to stay inside. The rains have stopped play repeatedly. It can only mean that it’s the tail-end of the British summer.
What are our top 3 then, to cope with the rain and the coming Autumn?
No.1 Before the mornings get too dark and cold, keep that summer feeling going with vegan brunch. Wagamama, which has become a favourite since opting for a 50% plant-based menu, is testing out a vegan brunch at a limited number of its UK restaurants up to 11.30am. In London, you can head to Bankside, Battersea, Camden, Covent Garden or the Festival Hall. Further afield, check out Sheffield Meadowhall, Clifton in Bristol, St Albans and others in this link. Firm favourites for us: bang bang hash browns and vegan sausage bao. For those who can’t wait for the katsu curry at lunch they’re doing the tofu katsu too. Of course they are. Our only issue: are we getting out of the house before 11.30am on a Sunday?
No.2 New kid on the block Beanstalk Foods www.beanstalkfoods.com which is aiming for the double whammy of processed food which is vegan and healthy, with foods that are high in proteins, fibre, vitamins and anti-oxidants. They want to put the fun and decadence into vegan snacking and seem to be on the Extraveganza mission. Products include pastrami, chorizo and meatballs. At the time of writing, products aren’t yet in the shops so this is one to look out for.
No. 3 DIP. Again, you cry. Please stop already with the cleaning products. Anyone would think we’re trying to tell you that you have a hygiene problem. But we really are blown away by this laundry detergent. It’s more animal-friendly than traditional washing capsules and liquids, and it keeps winning us over on sustainability grounds. Tear off one strip for a light wash or two for the post-Glastonbury heavy soiling. And it’s cheaper. So, it’s more sustainable, better for the environment, less harmful to animal life and it saves you pennies. It wins on every count. It makes you wonder why Procter & Gamble or Unilever didn’t do something similar earlier.
