The footlong Wellington costs 12, serves six and is available at 26 sites, including delivery

THIS, the hyper-realistic creators of plant-based food, has teamed up with artisan bakery, Coughlans, to create the UKs first vegan bacon Wellington.

The limited-edition Wellington features Coughlans homemade mushroom-based beef, a flavoursome mix of 20 herbs and spices wrapped in the UKs most realistic plant-based rashers, THIS Isnt Bacon, baked in a vegan puff pastry topped with thyme and rosemary.

Priced at 12, the plant-based meaty and mighty footlong THIS Isnt Bacon Wellington serves six people, and is available at all 26 Coughlans bakeries now and for delivery across South London and Surrey from 29 November 2020. Each mouthwatering bite offers a juicy and meat-like savoury taste combined with a crunchy texture from the flaky pastry and crispiness of THIS Isnt Bacon.

The first vegan Wellington of its kind, pastry and bacon fans are getting excited exclaiming, I need this!!! on Instagram. Some are already planning to make THIS Isnt Bacon Wellington the centrepiece of the Christmas dinner table as one Instagram user comments, Omg, thats Christmas and Boxing Day dinner sorted!, whilst another said, Cant wait to try this on Christmas Day!

An innovative and family British bakery established in 1937, Coughlans is also comedian Romesh Ranganathans favourite bakery that baked him his favourite birthday cake last year.

Sean Coughlan, Founder of Coughlans Bakery, says: Ive made it my mission to come up with great tasting vegan food by using our traditional skills, so nearly all of our customers cant tell the difference between the meat and meat-free versions of our pastries.

After months of test recipes, our vegan beef in the Wellington takes three days to make and the addition of THIS Isnt Bacon gives it that extra dimension to make the perfect pairing. We add a few more important secret ingredients that pack the Wellington with that meaty flavour.

Andy Shovel, Co-Founder of THIS, says: This is one of the most innovative launches Ive seen. Our mission is to be the plant-based brand for meat-lovers and Wellington is a stalwart. The Coughlans team have done an amazing job.

THIS continues to be a plant-based hit in innovative dishes. In September 2020, THIS Isnt Bacon was the first vegan meat to feature on a Michelin star restaurant menu, The Harwood Arms, to offer a meaty taste to the gastropubs first ever vegetarian Scotch Egg.

THIS Isnt Bacon Wellington costs 12, serves six people, and is available now for takeaway at all 25 Coughlans Bakery sites in South London and Surrey, and for delivery on Deliveroo, Uber Eats, and Just Eat from 29 November 2020 throughout Winter.

About THIS

THIS was set up by meat lovers, Andy Shovel and Pete Sharman, who successfully exited beef burger chain Chosen Bun. They channelled their in-depth knowledge of meat to create THIS, arguably the most realistic chicken and bacon meat-alternatives in the world. Following two years of research and development, partnering with world-leading texture scientists and flavourists, THIS mimics meat in taste, texture, appearance and nutrition, but without the ethical or environmental impact, instead using peas and soya beans as the base.

THIS challenges legacy plant-based meat brands by targeting meat-reducers as opposed to purely vegans.

Stockists

Retailers; Tesco, Waitrose, Ocado, Co-op, Milk & More, The Vegan Kind, and now Sainsburys and ASDA

Restaurants: Honest Burger, Chilango, Patty & Bun, Barburrito, PURE, Coco Di Mama and more

The best vegan gifts are in this vegan holiday gift guide - Vegans, Baby

Cam Newton was excited to see his children and excited for the food when asked about Thanksgiving during his weekly appearance on the Greg Hill Morning Show on WEEI Monday morning.

Newtons family, who lives in Georgia hasnt relocated to Massachusetts, to avoid trying to navigate a new place during the COVID-19 pandemic while hes on a one-year contract. So being together for a holiday was an added treat for him.

My children and family will be coming up here so Im excited about that, Newton said.

Newton, who has been oft-asked about being a vegan, likes debunking misconceptions about the diet that doesnt include animal products (meat and dairy). He previously joked that being vegan doesnt mean going outside getting some grass and putting ranch on it.

He said his Thanksgiving table doesnt stray as far from the traditional as one might think.

There will be some alternative meals, he said. Everything that you probably have for your Thanksgiving I can still probably have outside of like turkey. ... You got stuffing. Youve got collard greens. My family is kind of Geechie when it comes to having rice with everything. My family does a nice red rice with sausage. You can transfer that with either Beyond or Impossible Meat (instead of sausage), mac and cheese, found a way to do that too.

Geechie is referring to Gullah Geechie, a West African culture, whose cooking, which is becoming trendy, includes many rice dishes.

Newton, who is a spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said while Beyond or Impossible sausage substitutes and vegan cheese are good enough to include in traditional dishes, nobody has figured out how to make a faux Butterball taste good enough.

The vegan industry, theyve tried it but its not the same thing, Newton said.

After hosting his family with no bird on Thursday, Newton and the Patriots will host the Arizona Cardinals, Sunday at 1 p.m.

Cam Newton explains his vegan, turkey-less Thanksgiving feast - MassLive.com

If you try to pass off this show-stopping platter of Slow-Roasted Winter Vegetables as roast turkey, your guests are gonna know. But since many now bake and serve dressing separately instead of cooking it inside their turkeys, I defy your guests to discern, unprompted, that this Country Stuffing With Lots of Celery is completely plant-based. Same goes for the Creamy Leek Mashed Potatoes and the Double Mushroom Gravy, especially when served together.

They might wonder whether the Smothered Green Beans With Creamed Mushrooms and Fried Onions arent a little lighter than last years casserole, but they will never flat-out guess that the dish is vegan. And the Smashed Sweet Potatoes With Torched Meringue? Please! The real thing, with all that butter, brown sugar and marshmallows, never tasted so intoxicating.

Whatever your reasons for wanting some plant-based dishes on your table or a completely plant-based meal these dishes will have everyone talking about how wonderful they are. The only folks who might wonder whether they are really vegan will be the vegans themselves, because these downright delicious dishes mimic the nonvegan stuff so well.

Vegan Thanksgiving dishes everyone will love - Los Angeles Times

For anyonescrambling to figure out what to eat on Thanksgiving, look to New England Patriots Quarterback, Cam Newton for inspiration. Newton revealed what heis eating for hissecond vegan and turkey-less Thanksgiving on the sports radio show, The Greg Hill Show.

Newtontalked toradio personalities Greg Hill, Danielle Murr, and Jermaine Wiggins on the morning show about the Patriots'disappointing lossagainst the Houston Texans. After talking about the upset, the hosts turned to the subject of Newton's favorite vegandishesfor Thanksgiving.

Newtonis planning on having various dishes influenced by the Gullah Geechee culture, which include descendants of enslaved West Africans who live in coastal areas and islands in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. and makingthese dishes vegan with plant-based meat alternatives.

My family is kind of Geechie when it comes to having rice with everything. My family does great red rice with sausage but you can kind of transform that with either Beyond or Impossible meat instead of sausage and mac and cheese- I found a way to do that, too, said Newton.

When it comes to Thanksgiving sides, Newton doesn't have to make change his traditional recipes to fit his lifestyle. There will be some alternative meals for sure. Everything that you probably have for your Thanksgiving, I can still do outside of like turkey You got stuffing and youve got collard greens, said Newton.

Newton first went vegan in 2019 after suffering an injury to his shoulder, which he had surgery on. He made the switch to a vegan diet with the goal ofrecovering faster from injuries but ended uploving the way he felt and stuck with it. He told ESPN, he felt "like a rookie again" at the age of 31 while eating a vegan diet.

This past July, Newton teamed up with PETA in an ad totell the world that you don't have to eat animal products to be built like an NFL superstar. The tagline: Built Like a Vegan, shows Newton in a heroic pose."I've seen such a remarkable change in the way my body responds to the food that I eat," Newton told PETA.

Thanksgiving is not a great time of year for turkeys, and it can be a challenging time for vegans, too.

Support Times of San Diego's growth with a small monthly contribution

The images of roasted birds so ubiquitous in late November, combined with the pressure and occasional mockery from friends and relatives, can make for a lonely experience on what is supposed to be a heartwarming day of reflection and gratitude.

The numbers are daunting. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 46 million turkeys are eaten on Thanksgiving each year. And the National Turkey Federation says 88% of Americans surveyed eat a turkey for the holiday.

Although meatless meal options exist for vegans, the pressures to conform to family dinners centered on a dead turkey are an annual dilemma for many.

Chase Avior, an L.A.-based vegan and animal rights activist, says hes the only vegan in his family, which makes the holidays a tough time.

I havent seen my parents and older brother (a hunter) in eight years because we had a falling out over animal rights, Avior, 38, told City News Service. They used to cook a vegan meal for me and I would eat with them, but now I will no longer sit at a table where animals are being eaten because I feel it sends the message that killing is OK and I get very uncomfortable in that situation for the same reason my family would refuse to dine with me if I were eating a dog. Its clearly animal cruelty to cut their heads off.

Im actually visiting them soon and have already politely explained that if they want to share a meal with me, the whole table must be vegan, he added. Otherwise, we can hang out in between meals and Ill just eat in another room and dream of animal liberation.

Those looking to cook up a holiday dinner that provides the appropriately festive atmosphere without sacrificing the life of an animal do have some choices, though they are limited.

Tofurky is one of the best options. The Oregon-based company, which makes a wide variety of plant-based foods, offers an oven-ready, stuffed roast for Thanksgiving made of soy and wheat, with wild rice and bread-crumb stuffing. In the Los Angeles area, the Tofurky roast is sold at certain Whole Foods, Sprouts Farmers Market, Gelsons and Vallarta markets (customers should call ahead to ensure their specific store carries it). The roasts can also be found online for as little as $12.99.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals also offers a free holiday guide with vegan recipes, shopping tips, and advice for answering challenging questions that could come up at the dinner table. Its available at http://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ThanksVegan-Holiday-Guide.pdf.

This year, PETA is launching a nationwide campaign called "ThanksVegan." The animal rights group is spending more than $100,000 in a push "to show people how easy it is to enjoy a decadent feast that leaves animals in peace."

The effort includes billboards (including a large number in the Los Angeles area), bus shelter and TV ads and vegan roast giveaways.

Catie Cryar, assistant manager at PETA, told CNS that several Southland restaurants are participating in the campaign, including The Grain Cafe at all four of its locations in Los Angeles, Culver City, Redondo Beach, and Long Beach.

The meal delivery services Veestro, MamaSezz, Fresh n' Lean and Boycemode are also participating, and are promoting the campaign on social media.

Vegan options are also available in some, though not all, of the area's many holiday giveaways for homeless and low-income individuals. Meatless meals are available for students and families who request them in advance at the Los Angeles Unified School District's many "Grab n Go" locations that sprung up in response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to district spokeswoman Barbara Jones.

A vegan option a veggie burger with mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and vegetables is also available upon request at the Fred Jordan Missions Thanksgiving Feast on Nov. 25. The Mission's meal is a Grab n Go event this year.

For those who want to do more to help turkeys, Farm Sanctuary sponsors an "Adopt a Turkey" campaign every November. For a one-time donation of $35, people can symbolically adopt a rescued turkey, or sponsor an entire flock for $150, allowing the animals to live out their natural lives at one of the group's three spacious farms.

Farm Sanctuary is a rescue and advocacy group that houses hundreds of farm animals at its three locations in the United States, including one in Acton, near the Antelope Valley. They've been sponsoring the program since 1986, and several of their rescued turkeys' stories can be viewed at http://www.farmsanctuary.org/adopt-a-turkey.

Billboards are also part of the "Adopt a Turkey" campaign, including one along the Long Beach (710) Freeway near the Imperial Highway exit in Lynwood. Farm Sanctuary partners with Peace 4 Animals and World Animal News for the publicity effort.

"Thanksgiving and turkeys have become synonymous, but sadly, not in a way that celebrates them. At Farm Sanctuary, we're trying to change that," said Farm Sanctuary's CEO, Megan Watkins. "By highlighting the unique personalities of these birds, while also exposing the abuse that they face in an unjust food system, we inspire people to start new compassionate traditions, like adopting a rescued turkey for Thanksgiving instead of eating one."

Farm Sanctuary president and co-founder Gene Baur says the group's message is more pertinent than ever in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

"If 2020 has taught us anything, it's the importance of empathy and that our choices impact the lives of others," Baur said. "If we can celebrate a more joyous `turkey day' without causing unnecessary killing and suffering, why wouldn't we? By widening our circle of compassion to include one of the most abused creatures on the planet, we can prevent the enormous harm that factory farming causes people and other animals."

1 Tbsp of herbs de Provence

2 Tbs vegan butter

3/4 cups onion, chopped

2 tsp garlic, minced

3lbs of russet potatoes

6 Tbsps of butter

Salt, pepper, fresh chives

Jus for top of bake

Directions

Blend inner layers of roasted onions, with tomatoes and aquafaba

Add enough water/broth to just cover the bottom of the baking pan.

Preheat oven to 350-F

Prep veggies to be stuffed by slicing off both ends of each onion to create a sturdy base for standing and an opening large enough for stuffing. Cut delicata squash in half length wise and scoop out seeds. Slice off the tops of the tomatoes to gently scoop out seeds and core, reserve the inside for later use.

Pre-roast delicata squash and onions by drizzling with grapeseed oil, and seasoning with salt, black pepper, bay leaf, and fresh thyme. Bake for 30 minutes on 350-F then set aside to cool.

While veggies are baking, prepare quinoa by rinsing raw quinoa and cooking 1 cup according to instructions. We suggest cooking quinoa in vegetable broth, or adding a little veggie seasoning to the water for added flavor.

Once squash and onions have been removed from the oven, preheat oven to 400-F

While the quinoa cooks, start the mushrooms. In a cast iron pan, saut sofrito and herbs de Provence in a few tablespoons of grape seed oil on low-medium heat for a couple of minutes.
