An Aussie has a long way to go on the vegan 100.

As I was searching the bloggersphere I discovered the "vegan 100" compiled by Hannah from Bittersweet. I am intrigued by a lot of these dishes - in Tasmania we are quite isolated from processed vegan food. I have only seen Toffuti once but then it was gone the next time I was there... give it time - times are a changing and the situation is MUCH better than when it was when I was growing up. Anyway here is what I have eaten of the vegan 100.

  1. Copy this list into your own blog, including these instructions.
  2. Bold all the items you’ve eaten. (and mine are in blue)
  3. Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
  4. Post a comment on Hannah's blog once you’ve finished and link to her post
  5. Pass it on!
