The Pixie Pollen burger at Burger Got Soul Sandy Bay (now closed) and a bottle of Little Creatures pale ale. I now avoid the Little Creatures as a sponsor of the Melbourne Cup. The Pixie Pollen was a fave of mine. Tempura tofu, spicy satay, coconut & coriander sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumber, snow pea shoots & vegan soul mayo.

A bowl of vivid orange laksa, with bright green broccoli floating on top, and tofu and mock chicken peeking through the surface. This laksa was from the popular Lotus Thai Vegan House, who made some of the most amazing, flavourful Thai food I ever had. Their laksa and their dumplings were next level. Sadly, they join the ranks of vegan restaurants and takeaways in lutruwita/Tasmania who closed despite their popularity, just because it was time to do something else, like VegOut on George in Launnie and Veg Bar in nipaluna/Hobart. Thanks for the good food times, legends.

A golden brown toasted mushroom and cheese sour dough sanga with a chorizo on the side, from The Old Garage in Camberwell, Victoria. I’m glad I don’t live near there or I would be broke and unable to stand.

A simple home cooked meal at my mum’s house in Adelaide. Garden salad sprinkled with pepperberry salt, fried halloumi, fried mushrooms and a couple of bangers. I can’t remember but I think they may have been Buds Italian seasoned sausages. Haven’t seen those for a while but they were very good. All the meaty, none of the murdery.

Things I would miss if I went vegan… burgers, laksa, cheese toasties, and sausages.

A backyard suburban outdoor lunch setting, showing a Xmas lunch. In the distant background is the view of the Launceston mountains under a blue sky. In the foreground, a white dinner plate containing baked savoury balls made from wild rice and mushroom stuffing, a slice of nutloaf wrapped in pastry, garlic fried potatoes, roasted carrots and red onion, and steamed broccoli. They have been drizzled with roast gravy and butter. Behind the plate is a large jar of homemade lemonade. A bottle of Coopers Sparkling ale in a soft stubby holder sits to the left of the lemonade. To the right of the lemonade is a white serving bowl of vegetables with tongs sticking out.

A top down view of a savoury pastry dish which is shaped like an 8 pointed star with twisted pull aparts between the points. (The recipes described it as a snowflake) The pull apart bits are filled and seeping with savoury mince, parmesan, and shiny tomato sauce. It is on a white plate on a wooden table.

A top down view of a sweet pastry pull apart wheel. The 8 spokes of the wheel are thick and twisted, with a line of sweet filling showing through the scrolled pastry. It sits on a white plate on a wooden table.

A bowl of dessert next to a short glass of whisky. The dessert is a dollop of vanilla ice cream beside a sweet pasty scroll. The whisky in the glass is reddish brown. Next to the glass, just behind the bowl of dessert, is a small bottle with a white label, saying Spring Bay Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky.

Our Xmas lunch in lovely lutruwita.
Homemade meatballs, pastry-wrapped roast, crunchy garlic potatoes and vegetables.
Homemade lemonade.
(The 2 pastry dishes, savoury and sweet, were technically both Xmas Eve but we managed to fit some more in on the day. 😆)

Veronica has been through a terrible time and come out swinging.
Get your soap orders in, people. 🧼💕
These soaps are incredibly luxurious (and there are loads of vegan-friendly options which I’ll list below.)

4 photos of vegan parmis, covered in vegan cheese, vegan bacon and BBQ sauce, on a bed of chips and salad. Each photo gradually closes in until the final shot which shows the tender, succulent, cruelty free inside of a sliced off piece of the schnitzel. Delicious and free of casual violence.

The Mayfair Bar in Sandy Bay, Tasmania, does amazing vegan meals. Plus it is just a generally cool place to be. Cool atmos, cool music, cool staff. The place to be.
