My original idea was to become a full time academic, drink lots of lapsang souchong tea, impress people with long words and read the Guardian. But now I've decided to open a little vegetarian health food store somewhere remote and campaign for human/animal rights. With some quality tunes playing in the background of course. What about everyone else?
I decided that if it all went pear-shaped at viva, I would set up a tea shop somewhere quaint (preferably by a river with lots of ducks) and sell over-priced (but delicious) homemade organic cakes to gullible tourists...I guess I could source my ingredients from your health food store?
With my vast profits, I would breed tortoises (just for fun) and set up my own laboratory in a back room, just to keep my hand in.
It's easy: Use soya milk instead of milk, soya marg instead of butter, and egg substitute (buy it from health food shops, made from lots of natural, healthy ingredients). most high quality dark choc is vegan. It might all sound a bit weird, but it tastes exactly the same. Just cruelty free. Go on, you know you want to ...
Great, always good to have an excuse to eat cake! I'll have to design a blinded randomised controlled cross-over trial to taste test the saintly vegan cake against it's evil dairy-filled rival (even better, excuse to eat twice as much cake!). I'll let you know how I get on! ;o)
Mmmmmmmmmmmm that sounds like a great idea? Can I be on the panel? I agree you can never have too much chocolate cake! I went to a vegan cafe when I was doing my MSc and they had the best stuff there! Especially this amazing Strawberry Cheesecake and Chocolate Crunch!! You should have them in your tea shop Ann and I'll be a permanent resident! :)
