I think that some people have a bit of a misconception of vegetarian's and vegetarian food. They tend to think one of two things about us 1) we live off salad and leaves or 2) all we eat is lentils and tofu. I can assure you I rarely eat salads (in the summer I eat them a bit more often but they always involve cheese), I don't think I have ever purchased tofu and I have had the same bag of lentils hanging about in the back of my cupboard for months!

With Lent officially underway, Easter is just (40 days) 'round the corner! That means easter eggs!! There are two things that irritate me about easter eggs:- the amount of packing and poor quality chocolate.
Let's talk packaging first. With easter eggs there is always a lot of it. Too much of it. You have the unnecessarily big box in which the egg, which is covered in foil, is incased in a plastic mould thing. The foil I get, you gotta keep that egg fresh. And I understand the reasoning behind the plastic, however there is no need for the box now is there really. There is also no need for all that extra plastic around the egg bit (I need to take it easy on the plastic related technical terms). I know these things can be recycled but there is still a lot of waste involved, and it's definitely not the chocolate that gets chucked away!
