Even some chickens don't contain eggs, or a cow milk.

You can get vegan brioche buns!

Let me just clarify that statement.

You can get ‘Brioche’.

You can get ‘Vegan Brioche’

But Brioche is not vegan and ‘Vegan Brioche’ is not Brioche!

As Tech pointed out the whole reason bread becomes Brioche is with the addition of eggs and milk!

This hijacking and bastardisation of traditional foods by supermarkets, vegans and the large-scale cheap food industry really is getting very silly.

That's fair enough, good point.
There's a number of sites and social media accounts dedicated to this frustration.

You can get vegan sausages, vegan chicken burgers, vegan bacon etc etc etc.
I think the producers of these goods (or substitues, whatever you want to call them), point is, to help people who are making the transistion from being an animal eater to vegetarian/vegan.

Posted elsewhere but for The Bear Grill thread continuity:

So i've been The Bear Grill and tried two of their vegan burgers; The Mexican and The Vegan Burger.
The Vegan Burger: whilst it looked great, huge and enticing, i felt it a little too sweet for me (the tempura perhaps?) so probs won't go back to that one again. Fries were spot on.
The Mexican: though it doesn't say it's vegan (you know; have the little vegan logo or even the word vegan next to it), it is vegan as a BG waiter told us it be be so. This was my favourite and like @Frontal i felt the presentation a little sparse, saying that i'd happily go back to devour another. Chips were nice too.

I have to go back anyway, the super-foody-mushrooms-as-baps one is still yet to be in my belly!

One other thing @ChrisLewis , what's with the tiny bowl of gummy bears that accompanies the bill?
Just my opinion, it's a tad children's party. I expect waaaaaaaaay better from the Lewis Partnership, like not having them near me at all.
I'd prefer to have a penny off my beer!

Gummy Bears unlikely to be vegan....

Point taken over the Gummy Bears, however lots of our customers choose both our vegetarian and vegan dishes whilst enjoying a flexitarian diet, with hindsight however an alternative to the Gummy Bears might be a better post dinner bill accompaniment - i'm sure our Forumites will have some witty solutions to this predicament. Thanks for the feedback

It's called The Bear Grill, the gummy bears are supposed to be a bit of fun!
