Hi GF, yes, and thanks for mentioning this. Lots of folks don't know that Quorn

contains

egg whites. I really wish it didn't!

 

It does bother me on ethical grounds, which is why I avoid eating eggs, though I

don't do

it religiously. I would never cook and eat a whole egg, for example, but I do

let it slide

every now and then with baked goods, and sometimes with Quorn.

 

But it does make me uncomfortable... maybe I'm well on my way to being vegan.

Well don't feel guilty on my account ;=) I'm not a vegan either. But I do avoid

eggs and dairy when I can - I agree, baked goods are a problem especially

when you're eating them somewhere else but in your own home. I've never

tried Quorn, because I've not seen it in the shops . . .

 

Best,

 

gf ;=)

Please pardon my ignorance, but what DO you do about baked goods if you're

vegan? Bethie

Well, I'm not vegan, so someone who is vegan should answer ;=) Please!!!!

 

But since it was my remarks that prompted your query, I'll just say that my

understanding is that when you buy baked goods to take home you read the

ingredients label very very carefully, and when you are out you either avoid

them or *ask* about them. I understand, for example, that some of the quick

service food outlets - Subway I think is one - has a choice of breads for your

sandwiches and can tell you which ones are vegan. Others might too.

Otherwise, eat in vegan restaurants, buy from health food outlets you trust

and/or make your own.

 

Does that help?

 

Best,

 

gf ;=)

Please pardon my ignorance, but what DO you do about baked goods if

you're vegan? Bethie
