I just thought that I'd mention that I was on Tofutti's website a few days ago searching for local stores that carry their products and luckily found a couple! I used to be an extreme cheese-lover before going vegan, and I've been craving it lately (especially cream cheese). The store that is closest to me is about 15 min. away from where I live, so I am planning on heading up there soon to buy all of the cream cheese in stock

. I have never tried their products before, so I can't give you an opinion yet, ChrisCross, but I would suggest trying them out if you have any local stores that carry their products. I have heard a lot of good comments about them! By the way, I love peanut butter with cream cheese, too. It sounds as though you and I have the same taste in food

really, you haven't lived until you've had peanut butter and cream cheese. Especially with a Starbucks Frappuccino to go along with it....*drools*

Oh man, when I'm vegan I'll miss my Frappuccino's. But I've convinced myself that I can make my own, using soymilk. How hard can it be?

I think Starbucks use soy milk if you ask (unless it's one of those things they only do in Europe...) I prefer soy milk anyway

But it contains different nutrients to milk, if you crave frappucinno maybe you subconsciously want a mineral or protein? I'm no doctor... I went a bit soy mad when I first tried going vegan scratch

and ended up not eating properly

But I believe a soy frappuccino can be created

Oh yes I have coffee with soy milk in it all the time

But when I say Frappuccino I'm refering to the bottled Frappuccino [[they come in mocha, coffee, vanilla, and strawberries & creme as flavors]]. It'd be a miracle if they had soy bottled 'fraps'

And by the way YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. ALL OF YOU. YOU ROCK!

Oh, I know the things you mean... [pause to feel out of touch

Well, you could always send Starbucks an email protest

these big companies are usually looking for new ideas to get a competitive edge, and tend to have feedback / comments sections on their websites. And they have some stiff competition from Costa and Cafe Nero at the moment

I've sent a few suggestions to companies before: sometimes they ignore you, but sometimes they do take your comments on board (I - and probably a few other people - got Wetherspoons to go vegan friendly at one point! They don't seem to have kept it up though

Maybe it's time to bug them again

)

Hey, YOU ROCK TOO thumbup

I just tried Tofutti's cream cheese, and I have to say that it is not bad at all! I think that I actually like it better than regular cream cheese. I am going to attempt to make a vegan cheesecake soon toothy4

I don't know why but the word cream somehow associates in my mind with sex

It's not bravery I just had nothing smarter to write
