Breakfast for Vegans


In the Guardian this morning, I read an interesting recipe for Christmas breakfast hash that offers hope to vegans tiring of their plant-based diet. After suggesting the various leftovers that might be tossed into this fry-up, the recipe continues:

Vegans might wish to substitute the egg for unsweetened plant-based yoghurt, seasoned with salt and a little crushed garlic. 

I sense a huge sigh of relief all over the Vegan World. Gone, it seems, is the Draconian requirement that everything in the vegan diet be plant-based. What next? May cow’s milk be substituted for oat milk in the breakfast coffee? May a sizzling bit of bacon be substituted for a bland piece of tofu? Vegans will be looking forward to the next recipe in the Guardian!
