in the last few days ive come down with a raging cases of strep throat. and while waiting for a doctors appointment i’ve been doing a little self medicating with my favorite local Vegan Ice Cream, Temptation Depending on how long you’ve been a vegan or eating non-dairy ice creams, you may have tried a view of the existing alternatives. Toffuttie, So Delicious (formerly Soy Delicious), Rice Dream etc. All of which are quite nice to find at the local store in bumble-fuck no-where Most often Tofuttie would be a common find followed by the aforementioned. Any of which can not come close to the amazing creamy smoothness of Temptations. Something to be appreciated when your throat feels like a razor-blade suitcase. Recently these fine entrepreneurs at Chicago Soy Dairy ventured into the Vegan Cheese racket. Considering the specter of casein any vegan cheese is hard find. Tofuttie, undeniably one the oldest melts like plastic which does not taste like cheese, follow by Veganrella (venerably one of the most hated, but i LOVED that shit. so back off. Can’t make a pizza to save its own life. I think Rella went out of business anyhow) and more recent Vegan Gourmet.They seemed to all fit the niche of diet food. If there is one thing i AM NOT a Vegan for, its to diet. Ethical veganism is something seen more and more in small business start ups. At the end of the summer interviewed master ice cream makers Dan and Ryan for what might have been bonus footage for Vegan Cooking For Animal Lovers aka HardCore Chef. I think its safe to say these dudes are down with the AR movement. Anyone remotely familiar with Hardline or Straight-Edge will get these guys. I remember how pysched is was when i say the back of T-shirt these guys made, paying homage to a forgotten Vegan Straight-Edge band, RAID. enough shameless promotion these guys can speak for themselves. I’m going to get back to eating some Peach Cobbler.
