Testing the waters

Lent starts on the 10th so I thought I had better actually start looking at what I'm going to eat for the next 40 days! So I went on a shopping trip to my local Morrisons to see what was about.

To say this is going to be a challenge for me is an understatement. Everything I picked up thinking 'of course this will be vegan', was not. Everything seems to somehow cram milk or eggs into it. Even the 'free from' section was pitiful in terms of vegan choice, I really feel for those with egg or milk allergies. I did find a few selected things, which I have concluded will be what I live off. I look forward to trying the vegan cheese (as I'm a massive cheese lover). I did shed a tear as I passed the haloumi and goats cheese sections. You will be missed.

I think my next trip will have to be to the bigger Tesco's that is nearby, which I hope will have a bigger selection of stuff. Or maybe it just gets easier as you know what you can and can't eat. I hope so it took me about 45 mins to buy only a couple of things after looking at, what felt like, every label in the shop.

Meanwhile I'm eating all the animal products to get it out my system I'm actually looking forward the break!
I joke.
The reality is I don't want to waste food, so thought it best to use up what I can before I start.

But anyway, here's my first 'testing the waters' haul:

Violife cheese

Sacla Pesto

Almond Breeze milk

9 Bar- Peanut

Mama rice noodles

Jacobs' Crispbreads
