Plant based pals rejoice: beautiful Porto is really excellent for delicious, creative and varied vegan food. Saying that, I must admit that I found it marginally harder to find places to eat there than I did in Lisbon, but that was not because there was a shortage of vegan offerings; instead, every establishment owner seemed to have chosen the week of our holiday to go… Continue reading All the best places I ate vegan food in Porto

All the best places I ate vegan food in Lisbon
I no longer feel much in the way of worry that I won’t be able to find good vegan food when travelling, and certainly not in European cities, where I’ve eaten some really amazing plant based stuff. Lisbon was no different, with the food turning out to be a real highlight of the trip. I… Continue reading All the best places I ate vegan food in Lisbon
Where to eat vegan in Vilnius
As a testament to the ease of finding vegan food in Vilnius, let me start by saying; I was full basically the whole time I was there. Pleasantly so for the most part, but uncomfortably so a couple of times too, because I have limited self control where food is concerned. For Lithuania may not… Continue reading Where to eat vegan in Vilnius
Eating vegan in Prague
At the risk of boring myself by proclaiming that yet another place is ‘really good’ for vegan food, let me tell you; Prague was really good for vegan food. I actually had zero expectations about what it would be like (not in the sense that I was preparing myself for slim pickings, in the sense… Continue reading Eating vegan in Prague
Eating vegan in Florence
Eating vegan in Italy was fairly easy in general, but if there was one place we went where it was particularly so, that place would have to be Florence. Avoiding meat and dairy here is something you just don’t have to put as much thought into as you might expect, and certainly not as much… Continue reading Eating vegan in Florence
Eating vegan in Venice
Prior to visiting Italy, lots of people asked how I was likely to get on there without eating meat or dairy. It wasn't bad at all though, I have to say; I like eating all the carbs and Italy has all the carbs, so on that basis we got on very well indeed - and… Continue reading Eating vegan in Venice
Vegan eats in Gdansk
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I really loved Gdansk, and something that certainly played a part in that was the food. One of the more difficult aspects of going vegan has been travelling; finding suitable places to satiate my everlasting hunger and stop the inevitable moodiness that results from having to eat… Continue reading Vegan eats in Gdansk
Observations from a year of Veganism
It’s one year since I went vegan. In January of 2017 I gave Veganuary a go (more on that here), and having carried on with it after the month had ended and then some, my first vegan birthday has now been and gone. Vegday? Vegthday? Nope, doesn't work. It’s been a positive change for me,… Continue reading Observations from a year of Veganism
Where to eat vegan in Rhodes town
I've included Vegan in the title of this blog post because the things I eat are vegan, but just as a small reminder at the start; vegan food is just food. It's not some kind of alien space fodder that other humans can't eat, so this is still 'food in Rhodes Town', it just so happens… Continue reading Where to eat vegan in Rhodes town
Veganuary: Four months on
This year I’ve taken on something of a lifestyle change, particularly in terms of my diet, and I thought it was about time I broached the subject on Sophar So Good. For the first month of 2017 I took part in Veganuary. For those who don't know, this is where you pledge to go vegan… Continue reading Veganuary: Four months on
