    Whenever I get out to London, I stop by Chilango in Islington (relatively close to the tube station Angel). Chilango is a Mexican burrito buffet. It's owned by Mexicans.... so a decent dash of authenticity is guarranteed. My favorite is grilled shrimp (prawn) burritos with a lot of their own in-house hot sauce. Have a nice day, Tomas (Prague CZ)

I have not tasted any Vegan Cheese,that reaches the satisfaction i achieve from the Dairy types. I guess with more people being drawn to Veganism,producers will up their game at the behest of a substantial increase for plant based food. I use Quorn a lot,for Stews,Chilli`s and Spag Bol.

Lebanese, Chinese, English, Italian, and even American fast food (which seemed to be better quality than it is in America). When I go back, I'll do some exploring for other food... assuming I can master the public transportation there.

    • @spark_6710
      @spark_6710 Před 2 lety +1

      @@londressinvisa There are several reasons ,but all comes down to health/ medical concern !! I was a hard core ,pure vegan for 17 years !!
      Basically ,when you eat only clean foods ,it's great for about 10 years ( I was feeling real great !!! ) ,but started a little sluggy( not ill ) & trips to the bathrooms became significantly increased !! If you know what I mean !? That was really ruining the quality of life in a way !! As you know ,being vegan means all plant diet that is meaning so much fibers & grains are consumed !! As you know that fibers take bad things out of your systems ! That's fantastic if you are eating bad things to your body like meats !! But ,I wasn't obviously !,then that got me thinking !! " What is happening to my body if I was taking so much fibers & grains & not eating any bad stuff !?" You know fibers & grains scrape the gut linings !? The stomach walls !! So there !! That alerted me & realized that wasn't healthy at all & the fibers were taking good stuffs out of my systems ,too !!! 😱😰 as I wasn't eating bad things ( except for some man-made highly processed foods like fake hams / meats ,fake cheese ,veggie patties with processed proteins ) ,so I got worried that I might had been lacking nutrients !! I KNOW I AM RIGHT on this !! When you go no.2 about 6,7 times a day ,that can't be really that healthy ,either !!! Again that's because all you eat are plants & grains = fibers !!= bulky poops !! And fibers produce poops more !
      Also being a woman ,we naturally need iron !!! I've got heavy period issues all of my life & I tend to faint since I was a kid !! So ,this was another major concern !! ALL VEGAN LADIES SHOULD TAKE LIQUID IRON !!! And the non heme iron ( plant source ) is hard to absorb !!
      Another concern was B12 !!! Very important !! Some vegans say we can get B12 from plants so on...that's yes/ no !! Yes, we can from seaweeds & nutritional yeast ,I believe ! But those aren't adequate as it's not the right kind of B12 we need for a healthy brain & body !! So vegans need to take some sublingual B12 ! But,yet ,again there are two major concerns with it ,too ! 1 is the one mentioned previously ! 2 is chlorella & B12 supplements are very popular ,but the recent study shows that is actually toxic ( the combination ) !!! 😱 That I didn't know back then !!
      So,those are my reason not to be a vegan anymore !! But,don't get me wrong ! Vegan diet is definitely the right thing for our animal friends & planet & our health for about 10+ years !! It reduces the risks of so~ many kinds of diseases !! Heart diseases ,kidney diseases ,cancers & diabetic !!! And you'll feel so much energy !!! Your skin will be radiant !!! You'll be youthful !!!( if you smoke or drink a lot ,it won't help too much ,though I bet it still helps your health by detoxifying !! )
      I hope these will help ! Sorry for my novel !
      I had met several aids patients who survived more than 10 years after their life expectancy that their doctors gave them by eating vegan foods !!! So ,yes vegan diets help !!! And it is a great thing !! But it has the issues that I have mentioned here ! So , I had come to my own conclusion that being a vegan for 10 years has the most health benefits & after that it is not so healthy ! So I had become a vegetarian ! Now for 13 years & I'll never eat flesh again !!
      I have more stuffs ,but it'll be a long story !! Lol. So I stop here !! I always wonder why no other vegans talk about those ! Those vegan celebrities aren't really 100 % vegans !! If they are ,they'll be talking about what I had gone through !!! Lol. Because I was 100 % vegan for that long time !!! MEN might get more benefits from vegan diet !!! But that's another story ! Lol.
