It's a lovely chart. There does seem to be a trend with vegans and B12 coming from processed fortified foods.
Does anyone here avoid the them and opt for a supplement instead?
xsvcx got me a really good b complex supplement and it's got loads of other good things in it too - http://www.baldwins.co.uk/supplements-essences/vitamins/vitamin-c/terranova-b-complex-with-vitamin-c-50-vegetarian-capsules

I am both goal-oriented and bloody minded, if I decide to do cheap veganism for a bit it just isn’t a problem. Making curries from scratch rather than buying paste takes about 15-20 mins extra and saves £££, making a big vat of soup and freezing it in portions probably costs about a fiver (the veg stock is definitely the only expensive thing which you could, given enough time and determination, make yourself) and feeds you for days, and saves loads of time in the evenings if you’re knackered after work and can only just bring yourself to defrost something rather than cook a whole meal. Cooking with housemates or your partner = instant lessening of labour (a problem shared is a problem halved) (re:cooking, at least).
my quickest default post-work snack is cous cous with half a tablespoon of veg stock in it, with some boiling water and a plate over the top for a couple of minutes. Instantly tasty and while it’s fluffing up (or cooking if I put it on the hob/in the microwave) I can dice some veg to steam/fry and whack it in.
Veg is really cheap (unless you’re buying solely organic, sorry) and you can get these extremely helpful charts - http://www.veganviews.org.uk/vv95/vv95foodchart.gif - in loving hut in archway (next forum ride?) for about £3. the quality of that link isn’t great but it’s really a wonderful chart
My mother in an incredibly uncharacteristic acceptance of my being vegan (still) has asked me to give a talk to her WI group in Oxfordshire about vegan baking and cooking next month. I’m nervous but quite excited to show them how delicious and easy vegan baking is. I think I’ll be making a powerpoint presentation (nerdlyf) to pool my various strata of knowledge about vegan cuisine from a few years working in food. Would anyone be interested in seeing it when I do? If so I can send it to you.
Speaking of cake (never far from my mind unfortunately, sorry folks) I had a Ruby Tuesday mint choc cake from Greenwich market last week and it was AMAZING. Best vegan cake I’ve had in London.
Anyone know anything about Veganz opening in London soon? I thought it was supposed to be “spring 2014” but it’s all gone rather quiet on that front
When are we doing this place in Euston then? READY2NOM

6pt i barely got to ride with you at all, push your dinner plans back next week and ride for longer with us! our youthful exuberance will probably have some sort of sugar crash after this mary-berry-esque clusterfuck that's apparently happening this week.
also idgaf if there's bacon as long as whoever's eating it is happy. indra i want to drop some fighting talk about one-upping me but i'd rather you just turned up drunk again and had brownies on you

colonel badman Bannon has done me a favour and tested out my whole route, what a brilliant dude (secretly relieved that someone else will know the route now) i'll whack up the details this week sometime, but the general theme is "London's Weird Shit: A Whirlwind Cycle Tour" feat. the usual shenanigans.
were there plans afoot to have next saturday's ride in the day (did that work better for some)?

no problem! yeah see you on tuesday >^.^< i left all my beers on the side in the kitchen so carried around a bag the entire ride with only tools, a hoody and cookies haha
this was loads of fun as always, lovely to see loads of faces from different parts of my life in london on the same ride, and hello to people i haven't met before. indra and 6pt glad you caught up! highlights included unexpected beer dungeon, arsenal keirin, lewis not getting killed, and the canal. good work for everyone's excellent pace coupled with making sure we didn't drop (m)any (theo getting lost doesn't count because i'm surprised he could even cycle he was so boozed)
just found the bruises from where i stacked it on a pavement in angel (lovingly dubbed "UBINSVEN'D" by an onlooker)
