I have just created a gmail account for any questions or anything that you might want for me to know about in the black veg world or anything that has to do with the black community or communities of color that I may want to add to my blog. I hope to hear from you all. My email address : black.veganism@gmail.com

Can't wait to hear from you.

Away to Stonehenge and Bath I GO !!!!!!

I had the chance to go to Stonehenge and Bath. Let's just say I enjoyed Stonehenge for what it had to offer at the same time I could not believe what I saw when to Bath. These are places that you should go when you are in the need to get away from the city of London or just want to have a nice little trip with friends and family.



The picture above is of Stonehenge. I'm not a fan of rocks but at the same time it was a nice way to start the morning out. We went to Stonehenge first and I might have to go back with my friends who may be visiting from Derry, Northern Ireland.





This is a picture of the Roman Baths

Next we headed to Bath which is about a good 40 minutes or more from Stonehenge. I could not believe my eyes. Bath is one of the most amazing places I have ever been in my life. The buildings, town, and everything else just made we want more of this place so I could take it home with me. It has so much history and I thought if these walls could talk they would tell me so much about what really happened in this town and the Roman Baths.


Food Time: Demuths Restaurant ( Positively Vegetarian)

This place was just amazing. I heard about it by looking at photo albums of my friend Petrina the Vegan. When I saw the photos of her meal and dessert I knew I had to make sure to get a table and tell you what I thought about the food and the restaurant as a whole.


Food is one of the most important things to me and I know to many of my readers. At the same time I want people to know that just because something does not have a animal by product or flesh in it does not mean it will be just horrible.



This was the tomato soup that I started off with 2 pieces of fresh bread and soya spread. It was just unbelievable and I could not wait to get my hands on the main course and at the the same time would have loved another serving of this delicious madness. ***** Five Stars out of Five



For the main course I had the mash with Veggie Links. It was tasty and rich. But something was really missing from the links. At the same time I could not put my spoon down to breath because it was just overwhelming to have this plate of mash and links in from of me and fully vegan. I would go back and have it again but request some more apple garnish stuff. **** Four out of Five




I was always tell people no vegan should end a meal without thinking about what they will have dessert. I was so happy to know that dessert was next on the menu for me. I was full and I knew I could not pass up dessert. So I had one of the best pieces of warm chocolate cake with chocolate on top and a scoop of soya ice cream. I was so sad to see it all disappear before my eyes. This is a must have at this wonderful place when you are in Bath. ***** Five out of Five

My experience in Stonehenge and Bath could not have been any better. I saw some historical place and had a great meal. What more can a Brooklyn Vegan ask for when traveling outside of London for the day.


More post to come. I'm a little backed up on posting because of my blog craziness.

Mildreds Vegetarian Restuarant and Midsummer (A Play with Song

London has so much for the vegan who is looking for something good to eat. I have been waiting so long to go to Mildred's because I had been told it's a place that I must try. Thanks to Carol J. Adams took the chance to have dinner at this famous eatery before heading to the theater. You should always have a good and cruelty free meal before you head out on a night on the town.


This was what I started out with a vegan burrito with a side salad. It was just amazing and I could not ask for anything else as I took slow bites into ever piece.


No meal could be considered complete without dessert. I thought this "cheesecake" brought to a great way to leave and head to the theater. It was one of the most delicious desserts I've had in London since my arrival.

Mildreds is the one place that advise everyone in London and who plans to come to London make sure you eat here. This place is amazing and the food is great as you can see. I felt very comfortable and could not wait to taste the food. I couldn't believe all of the great food I saw going to the tables and I plan to return to try something else and maybe I could encourage Mildreds to use less dairy and make more vegan. Otherwise, this is the place to be if you want to have a great home cooked meal and relax on a rainy day :)




MIDSUMMER ( A PLAY WITH SONGS) AT THE SOHO THEATER
When it comes to the play. I had a great time and I think it was a great thing to do after such a great meal. The food was everything that I needed an more. The play was funny, crazy, and everything I didn't expect. I love the cast and the purpose of the play. This is one thing you must do when in London go and see a play and enjoy everything that London has to offer.

Food and More

The candy bar was just amazing it was about a 1.29 pounds.
No vegan should have to go without a sweet snack.

(Pad See Ew from a Taste of Thai 6.95 pounds)

London has given me so many opportunities to have fun and eat and eat more. I love this place :)

Many of my peers and close friends know I love to eat and I could not imagine myself not eating or cooking. I will share a meal with you today. I had Thai Food for lunch and it was yummy with a snack.

Who says that being vegan in London is hard. It's one of the most veg friendly places I have ever been.

Talk about London and more

What do you think about when you think about this place call London ? Most people think about sports, Buckingham Palace , and Harrods. Since I have become a vegan and shopping I think about food and shopping. Yes. London is a great place to be if these are two things you enjoy doing. I have had some amazing India food here and just make sure to say no ghee or cream.

Food in London is said to be plain and not tasty. But my vegan experience has been difference. I have enjoyed all of the food that I have cooked and eaten. From Thai to Pasta dishes have just been great to my tummy.

I will post photos and reviews soon :)

The Black Vegan in London

Hi All,

It has been a year since I have written anything on my blog space. I have decided I will do my best to get back into keeping up with my blog. I want to give people information on food, fun, and everything else that the black vegan is enjoying in London.

London is just amazing and my experience with the vegan options have been okay and I look forward to going to Brick Lane for some amazing Indian and I will be going out to check out some more veg places to eat.

Sainsbury is just amazing grocery. They have cheap soymilk and London cereals are pretty healthy for you unlike the states. I have been cooking and enjoying my experience so far. I will be planning a trip to Southhampton to visit my friend Petrina who is vegan and her partner can cook amazing vegan dishes and I can't wait to taste it all.

I will try to post at least once a week something new and cool. My dear friend Rebecca will be here in two days from Indiana to study for the semester as well. She's a great friend.

I can't wait to explore the land where the Vegan Society was founded. Until next time enjoy a pint.

Reasons to go Vegan

Many people always wonder why does a person need or choose to go vegan. People go vegan because they no longer want to have animals suffering for meat, milk, and other animal products that are not necessary for human survival. Many people are seeing the health benefits of a vegan diet. Some people just want change and it all starts with ourselves. Like I always tell people how can we love someone when we don't know how to love ourselves.

Environment:

People need to know that meat is not "green".
http://www.goveg.com/environment.asp ( This is a great link to show you how resources are used to produce meat and the negative affects).

I hope that people will think hard when it comes to having steak or a veggie burger.

Here's a great piece on going green from food to clothing.
