Vegetarian Star

But if ” Mrs.” Swirly is already married…uh-oh.

Heather Mills will be serving a vegan soft serve ice cream at her V Bites restaurant, which opens July 4.

The vegan treat, called Mrs. Swirly, is meant to imitate the famous Mister Whippy variety. Heather came up with the idea after her daughter, Beatrice, had to miss out on ice cream while surrounded by other kids.

“When we were out I’d notice other kids got an ice cream and my daughter Beatrice would just get a fruit lolly and I thought I’ve got to do something.”

If you’re like most vegans who crave sweets, you love to get your ice cream on as often as possible.

But if you don’t live in the UK near Heather’s restaurant, there are plenty of store bought varieties to satisfy your dairyless craving from Chicago Soy Dairy’s Temptation brands to Turtle Mountain’s So Delicious to Rice Dream.

The current recipe entry in Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop newsletter features a vegan B.L.T., or BLAT (Bacon Lettuce Avocado and Tomato) complete with her favorite mayonnaise substitute, Vegenaise.

Gwyneth says it best in the introduction to the recipe:

“This MAKE is for my no-dairy, no-meat, no-white flour (if you omit the croutons) loving friends who are looking for a quick, casual summer lunch. Proof that vegan food rocks!”

Yes, girlfriend, this sandwich does rock, and there’s a beautiful food porn picture of the stacked vegan goodness at Goop.com.

Gwyneth compliments that BLAT entry with un-Caesar salad-Caesar salad minus egg yolks and anchovies-and homemade rosemary and thyme croutons.

It’s all washed down with agave sweetened lemonade.

The best thing about veggie bacon is that it’s missing all the fatty sections that regular bacon has in it, so you get more “meat” in your bite. A good brand to check out is Lightlife Smart Bacon.

Sad news for those rooting for John Salley on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!

Spider legs Salley came in third, behind Torrie Wilson, and Lou Diamond Phillips taking the cake.

Before the final showdown all three finalist had to endure a “jungle spa,” consisting of creepy crawlers, baby crocodiles, and mealworms to win a gourmet meal.

No one was a loser in that round (or perhaps they all were because they had to put up with that) and all three got their grub on.

John had a tofu burger waiting for him, but Torrie’s meal choice wasn’t too shabby either, as she requested a vegetarian pizza. Lou Diamond? Fried chicken! Boo!

Lou’s charity of choice, Art Has Heart Foundation, will get a fat check for his victory. The organization awards scholarships to lower-income high school students.

Audrey Kitching is known for making her frequent veggie Tweets on Twitter.

She recently was on a mission to find gluten-free ingredients.

“On the hunt to find Vegan Gluten free cherry pie ingredients..I am going to make this happen!..wish me luck I might need it.”

Sounds like Audrey needs some help finding ingredients to make a meal those suffering from Celiac disease or wheat allergies can enjoy.

We’re sure Audrey can make it happen.

She’ll have to substitute some rice, tapioca, and sorgham in place of whole wheat pastry flour.

Glutenfreebird can provide the recipe.

Ways to make natural pink hair coloring from items in her refrigerator…she’s on her own.

Absolutely cool video of Benji and Joel Madden behind the scenes at Denny’s restaurant, making burritos for Denny’s Rockstar Menu.

Thanks to Joel for the lovely Tweet to direct us there.

The Rockstar menu was created by various musicians who went into Denny’s kitchen and whipped up their favorite grub.

Benji and Joel created a vegetarian burrito with a Boca Burger.

“Kids when you order this, I want you to imagine that we’re back here, making it for you, with love,” says Benji.

We will, Benji. We’ll keep the love alive.

A recent episode of The Tyra Show had guests tasting a berry that supposedly altered your taste buds to make everything taste sweeter.

Maybe they should make a salad dressing out of this berry, because one audience member tasted it and said, “Well, I’m a vegetarian so hopefully this make vegetables taste better.”

Tyra quickly made another suggestion, however.

“Girl, pork will make vegetables taste better.”

Uh, no Tyra girl, you must have tasted a berry that’s affected your thinking.

As Vegdaily put it:

“Because pigs are more likely to carry worms and diseases, and because pig meat is high in cholesterol and saturated fat, pork will add illness and obesity to your vegetables. And I don’t consider either of these to be tasty.”

Besides, when was the last time you heard someone say they had a pork tooth craving? Enough said.

Friends and family of Gwyneth Paltrow, including Coldplay hubby Chris Martin, have become concerned over Gwyneth’s new strenuous health regime.

“She is obsessive about everything associated with her body,” a source said.

“Even Madonna is concerned. Gwyneth has been studying body-cleansing in earnest. She’s read a hundred books and talked to lots of doctors and experts.”

Part of her “obsessive” routine is blogging on her website Goop about “exotic meat substitutes” like Vegenaise, the UK Daily Mail had reported.

First, Vegenaise isn’t an exotic meat substitute, it’s a vegan mayonnaise substitute. Second, what’s so darn exotic about it?

After checking out the website, our favorite, the Grapeseed oil variety, contains the following: Grapeseed Oil, filtered water, apple cider vinegar, brown rice syrup, soy protein, sea salt, lemon juice concentrate, and mustard flour.

Sounds pretty simple. No eggs. No dairy. No nine syllable preservatives you can’t pronounce. Not to mention gluten-free, kosher, and no GMOs. And zero of that cholesterol junk regular mayonnaise contains.

Soooo not that exotic. But still so good.

Susan Sisko at the Huffington Post got to spend a moment with late comedian George Carlin during the week he passed, which was exactly one year from today on June 22, 2008.

Sisko was getting food at the then new bakery/cafe annex to vegan restaurant Real Food Daily, when George was handed a bag of vegan food “to-go” and the guy at the counter told him, “Awesome.”

No, this wasn’t awesome and George made sure the counter boy knew it.

“No…” George said. “Picking up vegan food to-go is not awesome.” He then went into a rant about all things that were awesome, like the sun and sky.

Did George mean vegan food taste like the brown bag he took it home in? Or would he rather have ate in the restaurant, it only being “not awesome” that he had to brown bag it?

Great scholars will study these last words for centuries until a much younger, poor miso ramen eating graduate student cracks the code, upsetting them, stealing fame and fortune.

Until then, the enigma remains.
