Traditional Worchestershire sauce also contains fish.

All Worcestershire sauce. It's fermented anchovy sauce with some spices.
Anything that doesn't have the anchovy, isn't Worcestershire sauce.

No they aren’t, unless specified. A lot is isinglass (spelling?) To clarify it, which is fish parts.
punkideas@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Isinglass is not used very much outside breweries trying to do really traditional British styles, because it’s finicky and there are better and cheaper options. I’d say that the most common thing making beer non-vegan is adding adjuncts like lactose in milk stouts.

A lot of beer has honey and milk ingredients

Vegan things:
Bread, potatos, noodles, water, air all vegetables, all fruits, 70+% of the average diet.
Vegan is not hard
Kraiden@kbin.social 9 months ago
I'm sorry but absolutely not.
Finding vegan foods is easy, as you've pointed out, however eating well as a vegan takes thought and planning. Especially in the beginning.
This is why so many people fail when they first start. They just cut out everything with animal products, and end up eating bread and salad, and give up when they're basically malnourished and starving.
Saying Vegan is not hard is a disservice to anyone seriously considering it. Instead of being condescending about it, give people resources to help them get it right.
Pantherina@feddit.de 9 months ago
Its a miracle how people can eat absolute garbage but the amount of supplements that is already in the animal products (and all that 1% uptaken plant material) kinda fix that
audiomodder@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 months ago
Not all bread and noodles are vegan, or even vegetarian.

Most non-dairy drinks can be vegan. Why do beer and wine in particular surprise you?

I told a friend of mine I was making Mead and she told me that is not interested because Mead is not vegan. I really forgot that she was vegan and then I started thinking “People usually make fun of vegan food, but beer and wine can be considered vegan (with the exception people has already pointed out) and those are fun drink”
illi@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Vegan food being a joke is also a misconception. Vegan stuff can be pretty fucking delicious, but it’s more dependent on you flavoring it correctly.
If you fuck up non-vegan food, there is a good chance is it is still alright. If you fuck up vegan food, there is a good chance it’s not great.
But properly prepared it can be so awesome.

Wine is not vegan. Wine uses sulphites which are made from crustaceans.
Skua@kbin.social 9 months ago
It's isinglass rather that sulphites that makes a lot of beer and wine non-vegan. It's a type of collagen made from certain fish (not usually crustaceans, so far as I know) that makes the yeast suspended in the liquid sink and coalesce into a sediment that can be removed. If you try homebrewing you'll find that your own produce is hazy unless you use isinglass, although it doesn't significantly change the taste
Leeks@kbin.social 9 months ago
It’s not the sulphites, but the chitosan that acts as a clarifier that comes from shrimp shells and makes it not vegan.
Floufym@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Milk and fishes are also sometimes used to filter the wine.
6mementomori@lemmy.world 9 months ago
not all wine

As people have mentioned the seafood, ill also add that many wines use egg.

Oreo cookies are technically vegan.
GhostsAreShitty@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Wellllllll, maybe. Whitened sugar is processed with bone char, and given how white the stuf is, there’s a good chance that it’s also processed that way.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
Without any animal or dairy products, these chocolate sandwich cookies are now basically vegan. (We say basically because there can be some cross-contamination with milk during production).

Imagine not caring about the lives of yeast. Humans can be so heartless.
