Kahlua

karen_...@hotmail.com (Karen G.) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:00:56 UT

While I'm at it, I should also share that I wrote to Kahlua recently
b/c I bought a little six-pack with their Regular/French
Vanilla/Hazelnut-flavoured coffee liquors and they list 'caramel'
as an ingredient. The response I got back was that it is 'caramel
colour', which is derived from corn.

Chocolate

I was at Hartman's (on Bank St.) earlier and President's Choice has a new chocolate treat out
for Xmas that seems pretty vegan-friendly to me (unless you don't consume sugar?) They're like After 8s but with no
milk/butter oil and the chocolate actually tastes better (well, I think
so anyway.) They had them last year, too, but they're in a new white box and apparently have more cocoa in them now. They

Hi all :)

I rarely post here but wanted to make a comment.

I live in and grew up in ChinaTown, clearly I will not have to travel
out to T&T. But what stuck me was the add on the side of the bus
there was an add saying that this new store has all these unique -
asian things..and the picture is of 5 vegetables regularly grown in

I went to T&T last week. Vaalea asked me to post my observations. I was there only for a limited time, and plan to go back to examine things a bit more thoroughly.

There were many interesting and useful things there, although nothing really stood out. They have a variety of faux meats, but nearly all of those contain egg or dairy products. There's a faux duck and one other that is vegan. There are several types of Tofutti ice cream products, a few of which I've never seen in other stores. There are tonnes of different sauces, rice noodles etc., a good selection of which are vegan. Lots of interesting tofus and tofu products, although many are available in Chinatown as well.

It's available in 3lb bags at Costco! So much for "limited commercial
availability" as stated in Wikiped.
Vaalea,
Maybe you can let the veg/vegan dist list know about it.
Cheers,

I was there the other day. didn't have enough time to check out the veg*n section because it was absolutely insane in there!!...BUT, I did notice LOTS of dungeness crabs stuck in tiny tanks with no room to move, along with fish (some dead already, just floating around!). I can only imagine how the ones in the back are being treated!!

Zen Kitchen praised in Best Restaurants edition of Ottawa Magazine

carol_anne_o...@yahoo.ca (Carol Anne) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:54:31 UT

Ottawa Magazine just published its annual Best Restaurants in Ottawa
edition. Zen Kitchen didn't make the top ten but it was in the
"restaurants to watch" section which is usually newer restaurants.
These often end up in the top ten in following years.
Nice to see a vegetarian/vegan resto in there.
