I have been taking Ferroglobin for some time, but I stopped after reading that excess iron was bad.


I am having frequent blood tests at the moment so hopefully anything amiss would be picked up.

Thanks that's useful. Also thanks Cella.


Now, white miso paste. Never even heard of it. I have some other miso. Where can I get white miso? It seems to be in a lot of the How Not To Die recipes.

The Co-op on Lordship Lane had it today.


Also M&S had what they call super firm tofu with their Plant Kitchen range.


I bought both of them to try :)

Yes, I've recently discovered these! I got them in Health Matters.


The How Not To Die cookbook has lots of recipes using them!

Fresh turmeric: you can ask the veggies shops in Lordship Lane, somebody surely has it as I found it few years ago but I can't remember exactly which one.


Chickpeas (legume) are a very good source of proteins too btw, and also (roasted / dried) a delicious snack to alternate with walnuts, pistachios or other nuts.

A veggie diet doesn't have to be boring when approached with a little imagination.


Most vegetables can be oven-roasted, grilled or stir-fried, even things like parsnips, carrots, spring onions, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, collard greens, pak choi, onions, tomatoes, courgettes and cabbage. Most boiled veggies can be mashed together in interesting combinations with and without beans/pulses then shaped into cakes and fried or grilled. Don't forget sweet potatoes, yam, cassava (yuca) and taro. And aubergines and mushrooms. Most fruits can be roasted or grilled and included in a veggie meal, too; plantain, apples, apricots, plums, etc. Nuts. Dried fruits. The possibilities are endless ? no fancy cookbooks required.

Madhur Jaffrey's cookbook Eastern Vegetarian Cooking is really good, I have an old copy that I use for a lot of inspiration when I'm like, what the heck should I do with this brocolli/cabbage/bag of carrots???


I think you can get fresh turmeric from Village Grocer on Bellenden Rd (the one that used to be called Payless).

What on earth is a plant based diet? Who on earth coined this phrase??


I decided not to eat meat, fish and sea food a long time ago. That is a choice. Do I hate labels.


PS Linda Mc stuff in dreadful. And Quorn - a distant relative of athletes' foot, has changed its constituents, for the worse, in recent times. No excuse for loading it with salt.

An ex partner put me off Quorn for life, she used to shudder and say fungus. claimed to have seen some gross info online!

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
