    what is nougat made of? I bet it's somehow veganizable (not a word, but what the hey)

    Nah, not really.

    Still, a hen's menstural byproduct. Hmm none too appealing, and ther are plenty of ethical issues around them (treatment of hens, disposing of unwanted males etc).

    Figure gelatine is a bigger problem though, or at least more likely to be objected to (by vegetarians and vegans). Being made from animal bones and all.

    its a split-hairs level.
    IG, I'm at the point that I know my diet is reasonably healthy, on par with or above the average middlingly aware omni, so I decided that I could not spiritually and ethically contirbute to slaughter & the tales of crushed male chicks (hey it's sexist, it could be your new cause ;P ) made me decide eggs were not for me in any form that can be avoided.
    that said, my flu shot was albumen-grown. "Avoided" is the key word.

    I read labels, often after the item is home, and whatever I can get a sub for that works, I do.

    I'll leave all the steak for you. Plus, you NEED the jacket.

    I have no idea if this recipe is any good or not, but I found this on-line:
    1 cup Karo, Red Label
    2 cups granulated sugar
    1/3 cup water
    2 egg whites
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/3 cup candied cherries cut fine
    ½ cup chopped almonds

    You could maybe sub the egg whites with Ener-G if you're Vegan?

    hmmm.. since these white are to lift, I'd think ground flax seeds and whipping well.

    yeas, he rides. that is a logical place to use leather.
    pleather shreds so you a) damage the environment by using oil-derived plastics and b) still wind up with nasty road rash or worse.


    and don't post some peta blather. I've heard it all.
