Hi i've been a vegetarian for a long time and recently decided to try my hardest and give being vegan a go?

The thing is i love cheese and milk chocolate?

Does anyone know any good stores where i can buy products like the above that are vegan friendly.|||Most large supermarkets sell vegan cheese such as Morrisons, Tesco and Asda. You can also find it in many health food stores. I have also seen vegan chocolate in health stores.|||Um, I think you can get soy cheese stuff, you'd have to look in the dairy and "special diet" kind of sections in your local Tesco etc (unless you have a shop nearby that caters to this sort of stuff).

Apparently vegan chocolate is a thing. You can also get some fairly delicious recipes for things like vegan chocolate cake.


If you get serious about wanting to do it long term, I suggest finding some long-term vegans and hanging out with them to get tips etc before diving in the deep end. So you don't feel exhausted from a lack of nutrients, or isolated because your non-vegan friends find you too hard to cater for.

Places like this one: http://cultivate.ie/ will help you find like-minded people.|||Holland & Barrett have a very good selection. You should also check out any independent health food shops that are near you, if any, they will sell a lot things that you can't find in mainstream stores|||There should be a holland & barrett near you, they sell loads of vegan stuff.|||get mine from holland and barrett, they do a membership card now where you earn points x|||I'm the same, I've been veggie for awhile and am going to try out veganism to see how I get on!

I personally haven't been able to find any decent vegan cheeses, they always taste odd to me. But that's not really a problem since I'm not a fan of cheese anyway. However I did once make my own vegan garlic and chive cream cheese which tasted like Philadelphia, and it was really good! All I used was tofu, garlic and chives... plus a bit of salt and pepper for more flavour of course. If you prefer the more 'harder' cheeses like cheddar, etc then I'm not really sure about that - as others have said, check out local health shops such as H&B. I also recommend looking around online if you don't mind online shopping - some good UK sites selling vegan cheeses include:

http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-loca鈥?/a> (mmm vegan cheesecake!)

As for milk chocolate... again you can buy these easily online. But I've also seen plenty in supermarkets such as Sainsbury's, Morrisons, etc. The tastiest, creamiest vegan "milk" chocolate I've had was bought online, I really recommend it, it's nicer than actual milk chocolate IMO:
http://www.veganstore.co.uk/mm5/merchant鈥?/a> ("milk" chocolate)
http://www.veganstore.co.uk/mm5/merchant鈥?/a> (white "milk" chocolate.. both are so good!)
And here's a full selection:

http://www.veggiestuff.com/acatalog/dair鈥?/a>
http://www.alternativestores.com/ethical鈥?/a>
http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-loca鈥?/a>

All UK sites. Hope that helped :)
