Chips and mushy peas. Rice. Pasta. Corn. Toast. Jam. Crisps. Nuts. Soup. Juice. Cereal. Bananas. Apples. Carrots. Broccoli. Tomatoes.
Most of a pizza. Most of a stir fry. Baked potatoes, baked beans, and freshly baked bread. Chips after a night out. Hash browns the morning after. Throwing a meal together with whatever I happened to have in my fridge and cupboards that, when I really think about it, was probably around 80% vegan.
