Nicole Lapin has discovered she could be television double for Kate Middleton, fiancee of Prince William and the future Queen of England.
This got the vegetarian journalist and television anchor thinking about what she would do if she had were Queen for a day…or a little longer. Some vegans would make everyone eat egg, butter and dairy-free brownies. Lapin just wishes for England to return to its historic roots of eating cucumber sandwiches, citing, “Meat is way too expensive.”
The idea of sticking a cool cuke between two slices of bread may sound dull and boring, but add some vegan cream cheese, sprinkle a dash of pepper and garnish with mint, parsley or watercress and you’ve turned a stiff and stuffy sandwich into one worth stuffing in your mouth, like Vegan Yum Yum did.

Earth Vegan, who had the pleasure of creating vegan cucumber sandwiches for an event that celebrates British food by veganizing it, writes that you can also smear dairy-free butter on the bread slices and in India, herb chutney adds an even more flavorful twist.
Other variations include mixing cream cheese with a dry Italian dressing, cream cheese and mayonnaise combination for the spread and peanut butter on the bread.
Yum. We’re feeling like royalty already.
