Vegan Discoveries.

A little bit of shopping adventure and surprise.

Bob wanted to get some herbs for planting and we did a quick run to Güssing in order to peruse their garden center. In anticipation of doing an off the cuff shop, I had taken a cooler box with two frozen bricks inside it. Unless it is the depth of winter each trip to town warrants a cooler box. Thirty minutes to get home can defrost many things that shouldn't be.

Anyway, today was another scorcher of a day and by ten o'clock we were already into the 30's. Yikes. We found the garden center, a local nursery actually, and felt good supporting it rather than the big chains. Every bit and bob helps the local shops.
Once done, we took a quick turn to Hofer / Aldi because one never knows what bargains will be had. Our staple of vegetables is usually marked down on Saturdays as Sunday isn't a trading day.

So we had almost done the circuit when we found ourselves in front of the frozen compartments and couldn't believe our eyes when we noticed a new range of Vegan ice creams in it. Vanilla, Strawberry or Chocolate flavour... both of us were dying to get one but didn't like the odds of getting back home without it having melted past what's edible. Never mind, there's always a next time!

What I love though is that slowly but surely vegan products are becoming staples rather than exotic one offs. That vegan ice cream is being stocked in Hofer can only mean that veganism is now main stream and here to stay...yeah.
