sometimes its worth paying more for a healthier version, instead of saving money and doing more damage to your body. its expensive for that fry up i agree but you cant bring that 13 quid to the grave either way so its up to you. depends on what ya fancy on any given day.
Both expensive for what they are, but the Lakeside one looks the best. I’ll be having nightmares about that unbuttered toast. Another great video, thank you. 🥓
Hello my friend, the lakeside breakfast was definitely the best shame you didn't get 2 sausages with this though, with the vegan breakfast sausage looked ok, but there's no substitute for real bacon & I'm sure they could have used a non dairy spread for the toast, too dry without! Great review as always & you work hard with the varied venues, well done! Take care 💜 XX
I don’t understand why vegan food needs to mimic meat or dairy. There is such a huge array of vegan food available. That scramble sounded grim. Slimy… noooooo thank you! But it was good to see something different 😊 great vlog as always.
Real meat cost lot more to produce than fake meat vegans don’t eat real meat for animals sake big business want you eat fake meat because they can’t make lot money not for animal sake
It’s the equivalent of me demanding my broccoli be shaped like a lamb chop and my carrots like black pudding! It’s a weird concept for someone that despises eating animal to have food replicate the shape of and taste of meat.
My issue with vegan food is I don't know what it is actually made of. When you eat bacon and eggs you know what you are getting... what on earth were those animal substitutes? 😳
I am 100% veggie so that would be mine but I like your youtubes which are mostly animal based. Plus I am also a Yorkshireman who does miss the black pudding before I changed. Was the milk at Bills plant based as you like your pot of tea? Bills could buy Vegan butter so they seem a bit mean. Both seem to be expensive.
I’ll resist the temptation to address the value for money comments with stereotyping Yorkshire folk. What I would say is that you have to take a few more things into account. A supermarket or pub chain will get more footfall. As an independent business this place needs to cover its overheads for the quiet months. Support your local businesses or end up with one choice of corporate breakfast.
Whilst I do agree with the point you are making, I still feel the prices for both breakfasts were excessive. A happy medium can be found. If the first breakfast was priced at £9.99 then that would be fair to both the venue and customer.
I don’t support places at the expense of my pocket however. Just like they are not exactly for there price giving food away nor do I give my hard earned away.
I agree with you on the traditional breakfast for the price you pay you should be getting two sausages and I would say bit more beans as well but quality looked good
Good for you for giving something different a try! Both meals were nicely presented and I would have tried both. I do love watercress and fried potatoes, but would have missed the meat too much.
First breakfast all day long but a little pricey for what was on the plate , I'd get the portion size if it was aimed at pensioners with less of an appetite but would expect it to be half the price.
Not a fan of the watercress all over the vegan breakfast, and they could have given you some vegan butter, also very pricey! I'm veggie so at least I can have proper eggs, those did look a little slimy! But interesting comparison xx
That first breakfast looks delicious. However,I want to butter my own toast.( I want real butter as well,not spread which I suspect pre-‘ buttered’ toast/ muffins/ crumpets etc is sometimes)
Dude, you missed a trick here by going to Bill's for that pretentious vegan brekky, the best veggie brekky in town is actually.... Morrisons' Cafe! The one at Kirkstall in particular! It's proper comfort food and the inclusion of avocado just elevates it to *the* NEXT *LEVEL*. Even nicer if you get it served to you by a rosey-cheeked older lady in an apron, don't ask me how, that's the magic of Mozzers Cafe 😊 I used to eat meaty brekkies, steaks and Nandoses all the time but my guilty conscience over the cruelty to animals just got too much 😢 I really hope they improve the recipe for veggie bacon soon cos I really miss it, but not keen on that "Frazzles" flavour 😅
I think the vegan scrambled 'egg' was scrambled tofu. They get out all of the liquid, crumble it up like you would feta cheese, and use olive or sunflower oil and sometimes a spot of plant based milk, which tastes rank anyway lol 😅. They add turmeric to get the yellow colour and sometimes nutritional yeast which is supposed to taste like cheese. Some places will add chilli or garlic or onion powder to give flavour or some kind of herbs like parsley or chives. Here in Ireland food is a real rip off. I recently had a vegetarian breakfast which consisted of 1 small grilled 🍅, 2 fried eggs, 1 small ramekin of baked beans and fried potato and onion, although the portion was tiny I'd say it was maybe 1 potato sliced, if even that. No veggie sausage, mushrooms or 🥑. €12.50 and that was WITHOUT a pot of tea which they charge €2.75 for and they wanted €3 for a small bottle of Tropicana orange juice and they also wanted €2 for 2 slices of toast!! I saud no to the toast and OJ. It was a total rip off there was NOT €12.50 worth of food on that plate. They are just using the cost of living crisis as an excuse to price gouge IMO.
I was expecting you to say that the vegan breakfast was a knock out, but then again I don't think you can fake proper bacon. The cost of the vegan meal seemed a bit pricey and not even any Flora to go with the toast.
Morrisons have put avocado on vegan/veggie breakfasts …. Why!!! Just leave it off - doesn’t do anything special! Replacing the toast with fried bread would be a thumbs up 👍 £17 for non meat breakfast is a bit much 😮
Yes they could have fried it in olive oil that's the bread mushrooms and fried potatoes with some cabbage.and plenty of seasoning.and onion.theres lots of ways they could have improved the vegan breakfast.
Yes full English easily for me because of the quality items AND price.No way would I pay £17 for the Vegan food and dislike the Vegan Egg so much that I left it on the plate.
Another enjoyable video got agree both rather expensive. A vegan breakie, no thanks. The English looked well presented but a little light on other traditional breakfast ingredients especially for the price although appreciate a nice lakeside environment but one isn't paying for that !
I am curious as to what is being used for the vegan items. Typically, either soy bean curd is used or seitan with the wheat gluten or possibly tree nuts and seeds or pea protein or beans or legumes. I don't mind vegetarian fare but I find vegan selections lacking. Some people consider themselves vegetarian even when consuming poultry or fish as well as eggs and dairy.
Well, I don’t care for most vegan foods so easy enough for to chose the non-vegan breakfast. You really hated those vegan eggs! I would have been requesting butter (yes, I know it’s not vegan) pretty quickly because the toast with the vegan plate looked like really good bread. Thanks for another great comparison!
Thanks for showing vegan options but I would go to a Desi/Indian place. Place visit Fallow for either there Sunday Roast, Breakfast or there take on the mighty "Mcmuffin". All so worth it (watch out they are available on different weekdays like the Roast on Sunday, the Muffins for Brunch..., they also have great burgers)
God knows what the vegan “scrambled eggs” were made of. Probably some sort of tofu. Vegan food is fine on its own terms, there are some pretty brilliant Indian vegan recipes you won’t even notice are vegan but products like imitation meats tend to be pretty dreadful.
Normal breakfast for me but would have liked my sausage cooked more. I agree you are paying for location in that price. I cant get on board with vegan food when I dont know what its actually made of...
What was the shocking result? I must admit that I don't understand the idea of vegan eggs or vegan bacon. I do eat a lot of vegan and vegetarian dishes but have never understood this idea of making food into something its not.
That full english breakfast was a piss take for that price, I wouldn't call that a full english, with the amount of food on the plate, the vegn breakfast looked tastless, why would you have the watercress and spicy dip?, must have been very bland without it, the cost of it was expensive for the quality, would give that miss.
So vegans don't want to eat meat or animal/dairy products right, so why are they eating things that look like bacon, sausages, meat, eggs etc? What a load of nonsense!
Truly grateful for sharing the views. Never knew Leeds had such wonderful places full of nature. Thank you. BTW I prefer meat. OMG I guessed the price of meat one at 16 quid
I don't eat red meat or eggs,but if I had a choice,I would rather the meat option than that plate of heartbreak and misery you had at Bill's. I absolutely knew you would hate the slop masquerading as scrambled eggs. It looked like something one might step in. Also,that toast was drier than the Gobi dessert and should have had a choking hazard warning. No spread! What a flaming liberty.
Vegan bacon and egg! Why? what is the point. to make vegan bacon you need rice paper, yeast, garlic powder, olive oil, soy, liquid smoke, pepper, maple syrup, paprika and MSG. Why would you bother? and vegan scrambled egg is nothing more than tofu colored and flavored
If you saw what goes into the vegan eggs you would have spat it out. Why if vegan food is 'so good' do you have to replicate a meat breakfast. Because it is not IMO. There are some wonderful foods I am sure that are vegan, just eat those. E.g. chickpeas, lentils, beans, vegatables.
No....the vegan egg looked like rubber! Didn't like the breakfast. The first one was missing stuff....blackpudding seemed small...no hash browns and just one sausage!! They were both overpriced not good value at all.
Greetings from rainy Los Angeles 🙋♀️! Both were good looking plates. But I don't think either was worth the money, especially the vegan version. I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian (I simply, gradually stopped craving meat years ago). So the fake meat and fake eggs don't appeal to me either. At least they gave you, small mushrooms. Like you, I prefer the small mushrooms for brekkie instead of the giant Portobello mushroom. Speaking of Portobello, the cap, grilled, is itself a great vegetarian "burger patty", served on a bun, with all the usual toppings and condiments.
Stingy amount on the English brekkie, shoulda been around a fiver not £8 more. Give me a wetherspoons brekkie everytime at the moment, £3.14 fills me up, great start to the day, amazing tasting good produce, excellent value, always busy for brekkies and they getting better at cooking them, actually don't overcook the bacon now and the toast is toast, not just slightly done bread. Keep up the great entertaining videos 👍👍👍
How about saving the £17 for a vegan breakfast and going out instead and get some free grass, shrubbery and leaves for breakfast, all plantbased and free at your local park😂😂. Love being a carnivore and any vegan who preaches or virtue signals veganism will live to regret it!!!
Not impressed by both really. The full English was a skimpy meal and not value for the money(one sausage lol). Vegan; well its a complete mess. Thank you for your video.
To be honest some vegan food is very nice! I dont mind vegetarian (a breakfast with a veggie sausage, eggs and grilled halloumi cheese is a nice change from a full English). A halal friendly breakfast is fine too with beef or lamb sausage and turkey bacon! Its when people talk about plant based that's is a bit strange.! Would prefer scrambled Tofu with whatever it comes with or have a nice dosa with the masala potato filling and a nice dal and the chutneys on the side. Normally i've a omnivore ( by choice i would be a carnivore eating the odd dairy and potato and onion) its goes wrong when vegan is forced into replacing meat things.
Just think that the places are too posh so NO value for money yes fancy cup and teapot so can charge more and £13 for 9 items not a big breakfast at all. i cant see it being worth it. i would rather have a traditional breakfast from Wetherspoons for around a £5. so the veg version £14 you have to be joking the vegan bacon looks like cardboard. all the green i to hide the look of the food. the scramble eggs may not be the worst thing when trying the bacon. i tried some and it was like rubber. but it looks terrible. should have put the beans on the toast.
Ones real the other is fake and made of goodness knows what… one of the worst things you have tasted in a long time … thats because its not eggs who has any idea what it is .. vegan and bacon should not be in the same sentence £17’for something that resembles food i will stick to proper food
I’m not a fan of vegan products trying to imitate meat products. Vegan food can be really nice without doing that. Both breakfasts poor for different reasons. Review wasn’t great either ☹️
