Vegan cheese made from coconut oil.
Last time I checked a coconut wasn't an animal, might have to fact check that one though.
Last time I checked a coconut wasn't an animal
Last time I checked coconuts they didn't have nipples, either.
@Scab: Last time I checked coconuts, I thought there were 3 nipples.

@Scab: ITT: Veg* get their jimmies rustled.
Oil ≠ Milk. Without milk it ain't cheese.
I see I got downvote brigaded. Maybe we can get Veg* things banned like gun deals so I can have a safe space.
@solidsnek: pretty certain that was elitistphoenix's point that coconuts aren't animals so coconut milk can't actually be cheese.
@Savas: Well to that I say welcome to 2018, where men can be women, the Apprentice guy can be the POTUS and coconuts can be cheese.
Maybe you meant Coconut milk, dude.
It's made out from Cocoa. Yes its an animal, they one that climbs the eucalyptus trees.
It's often made from cashews too.
Why would a vegan want to eat something that looks like meat.
'Cause they like eating meat but don't like the fact that animals have to be killed for it
If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me that I wouldn't have to bargain hunt.
@solidsnek: I don't understand why people ask that question when it takes maybe 10 seconds of thinking to answer it.
where do prokaryotes sit with vegans?
Probably triple the fat also. I had some "vegan" yoghurt once made from Coconut oil and it was something ridiculous like 20g fat/100g, regular price was ~$12/500g tub. Not exactly a cost-effective diet to be living on.
Beans, rice, pasta, vegies, and spices also happen to not have animal products in them :)
It doesn’t melt or grill though. It gets crispy when you try to grill vegan cheese, like a potato chip crunch. It’s kind of foul.
It's imitation just like the meat.
Have dated veggos and vegans before, some of the food if you were served it you honestly wouldn't realise it was vegan imitating flavours. there was this one place that did a vegan bouble bacon cheeseburger and I loved it one positive from it was I felt light and full instead of heavy and sleepy from a fat position of cow, pig and cheese. All of that aside those relationships ended because those chicks were prone to epic mood swings and being exceptionally sensitive and easily irritated most of the time. Coincidence maybeInsightful comment until the last two sentences.
Lol, getting downvotes for saying someone shouldn't generalise all vegan 'chicks '. Maybe he is the common denominator causing those behaviours.
@corbz: Maybe but I got on well with their ex's and when I was in the dog house they'd come to me to give support without me seeking it very early on in the piece. I honestly think their diets had a lot to do with the unstable emotions and ex husbands and ex boyfriends who experienced the same.
@Joey Jo Jo: You're telling me you've been in multiple relationships where, early on, you'd have issues with your partner and their ex-partners would come to you? What on earth are you doing dude, it's not dating vegans that's the problem.
@kivikakk: I've been in lots of relationships but those things listed that you repeated happened with the vegetarian and vegan chicks. the non vegetarian/vegan chicks were far more emotionally stable but would put on weight far too easily.
@magic8ballgag: Yeah, these people infuenced me to eat healthier. I would often get a fresh piece of Barra and oven bake it in foil and eat what she made as a side. That was some seriously healthy eating you could feel the difference for. It was good too that these women were not preachy about their choices and in turn I never made a comment about what she ate. It was chill most of the time.
Just when it was that time of the full moon cycle, Jesus Christ, I swear these girls had an alien mouth ready to burst out of their snatch all bloody and nothing but teeth.
lmfao
Have dated veggos and vegans before,
Did you get any?
Lol total subs who contradict their SJW political views once in a certain mood, and tiny little things you can contort into any shape with less effort than driving an auto with power steering. 10/10 would do again
@Joey Jo Jo: Haha, all of these comments are hilarious. How big was the red pill you swallowed you mad alpha dog.
Being vegans they were probably too tired…
Passive aggressive because of vegan food?
Fact that you call em "chicks" also gives a lot of inside info of you
This gets the Buttsmarn tick of approval.
Maybe not enough protein and iron on their diets.
More importantly, how do we know it's made from real vegans?
From the bland taste.
It tells you that it's vegan.
There is always a catch "I accept the terms and conditions of this promotion and am happy to receive promotional materials from Grill’d"
I recommend using a throw away email to get the code.
Also, dine in only.
Don’t judge even before you’ve tried it mate.
This is great, thanks so much OP!! :)
Awesome looks like free pizza and vegan burgers today!
thanks OP. got the email immediately
i had this on Saturday and really enjoyed it.
Grill'd burgers are some of the best!
How do you know someone eats meat?
Don't worry, they'll show up on every vegan-related OzB deal and make stupid comments.
How do you know someone eats vegan? Don't worry they'll tell you.
I count 3 people so far in this thread commenting about how it's definitely awful (though none seem to have tried it) and zero saying that they're vegan.
Just like atheists are becoming more annoying than proselytising Christians, anti-vegans are more annoying than the vast majority of vegans.
Like that atheist thing. Get angry when told to go to hell, while they don’t believe in such thing:)
Let me tell you, I eat vegans
datsdajoke
This is some pretty heavy hypocrisy.
You're generalising all meat eaters based on a few, and the generalisation you're making is the same one they're making.
Then you do the same thing below about atheists.
I had this (paid full price even!) when it was first introduced and it was horrid… Hopefully it's been improved
I didn't mind the original, but it wasn't my favourite or anything. Looking forward to trying this!
Surely these contain traces of flesh from the grill.
Almost all vegans don't really care about these trace amounts, because eating them isn't contributing to demand.
Do you think it's possible to be allergic to meat? A vegan actually once claimed that to me
Anecdotally I have heard of people getting sick after being vege for many years then eating meat, but I don't know if that's scientifically established.
@miarn: Definitely a thing for me. I’ve never deliberately eaten meat, but once accidentally ate a pastry with beef bits (thinking it was mushroom). I threw up before anyone told me otherwise.
@AlexD: Interesting, other vego/vegans I have spoken to report being nauseous or vomiting after eating meat after years of being abstinent. Reckon it's a gut thing or a psychological thing?
Non-meat eaters on strict Religious grounds usually can not eat non-meat product produced on surface used for cooking meat.
Can be easily fixed by cooking in a pan reserved for non-meat cooking. As pointed out below. Although many would still not eat with smell & sight of animal meat.
But most fitting that religious or strong ethical opposition to slaughter of animals category would not financially support a meat selling place.
Strange that vegans find no difficulty supporting a place relying primarily on sales of dead animals??
Plenty of vegetarian or vegan only food outlets in many cities. Even my Taxi driver today suggested his Temple for free vegetarian food.
These were the problems brought by strict non-meat eaters when I counselled those groups in the past. I now eat some meat, but love my vegies in so many ways😉
To fall in line the local vegan restaurant should serve meat specials once a week. That will get em going.
But would you really want a person who does not appreciate the smells & tastes - cooking your meat🍖?
I wouldn't trust eating any food, when those preparing it wouldn't eat it😱
There are reasons for specialist restaurants that really understand their ingredients.
Met a Hindi couple (so vegetarian), in Singapore. They worked at a Subway. I asked how they could serve cooked cow? Universal answer… Because we need the money. Sad😞
They said Aussies like me didn't even want salad - just lots of meat!@Zedsdeadbabyzedsdead: Here here! If every vegan restaurant had a "omnivorous option" I'd have lots more vegan friends.
Strange that vegans find no difficulty supporting a place relying primarily on sales of dead animals??
As does woollies, Coles and pretty much everywhere, because it's still a nonvegan world.
relying primarily on sales of dead animals?? … As does woollies, Coles and pretty much everywhere
Those stores don't relying primarily on sales of dead animals, unless you know something…
"clean up dead animal in aisle5"?
Yes, they do sell plenty of products of or from animals. For most of us there are alternatives, or we buy products that suit our needs from those stores.But there's no reason why Vegans would choose to support or eat at a restaurant known for it's Grill'd meat😱
They've been serving a similar non-meat product for ages. This is just marketing to sell more burgers, including meat.Why would you choose that chain, sitting amongst people devouring meat🍖? There are plenty of choices much more suited to those who don't eat meat! Support those usually smaller businesses that would welcome you.
I doubt staff would understand how to properly get the best from a non-meat meal. And reviews below have not given much hope it would be a great experience.
So why support this business when its core reason for existence is cooking dead animals, if that's against your principles as a Vegan. There are much better alternatives!
@afoveht: I don't follow your reasoning, dear hermit? What has another's food preference got to do with your choice?
Plenty of options for non-meat eaters these days. Plenty of reliable information available. (It used to be much harder & assumed everyone ate meat!! Travelling overseas in countries where I did not speak the language was so difficult explaining my non-meat requirements.)
Even my Taxi driver today suggested a place for a free tasty vegetarian meal (being Indian, won't be Vegan with the dairy products like Ghee)!
Just don't fall for marketing like this designed to bring in more (guilt free - there's a Vegan™ option) meat eaters!
@INFIDEL: Maybe you'd be better not paying for the senseless exploitation and killing of animals rather than telling those who choose not to how to do it your way.
Just takes one to freak out over a drop of marinated blood on their plate for your restaurant to be vegan poison on Yelp. Always bend over backwards for vegans. And if you’re marketing directly at then then you’re kind of asking for it anyway. Vegan means vegan food and extra service.
yum flesh.
I worked at Grill'd when I was at Uni.
The veggie patties are cooked on top of another piece of metal mesh that sits on-top of the actual grill to stop contamination.That's pretty cool :)
Not the flesh. But at least the aroma of bacon or beef will be absorbed into the vegan patty
My money isn’t creating demand for animal cruelty so I’m fine with this
But you are supporting a business relying primarily on sales of dead animals??
@INFIDEL: No, you're persuading them to stop relying on selling dead animals by not purchasing the dead animal products.
@Raynes: Profits don't have a conscience.
The bottom line is a dead animals focussed business gets more business. That's what matters to them.It's a healthy choice item on the menu of primarily meat, not a protest order.
And an opportunity to attract new & old customers due to the relaunch - classic marketing😉
It's there to ease the conscious of some customers, rather than the business. After all, if there is a non-meat eater or diet conscious person in a group, they may choose another place to eat if a non-meat choice isn't available!
Head office will never know why you didn't choose meat, so no change will occur. All that matters is another sale. That's business💰
Only you think your menu choice makes a difference to this business, persuading them to stop relying on selling dead animals.
Enjoy it, but your order is not changing the world. You've got to do something more substantial to make a change! Good luck👍
@INFIDEL: every little bit helps mate. if grill'd offer burgers that are a genuine tasty meat-free option which means 2% of people elect not to get a beef burger when they otherwise would have, then that is 2% less beef being bought by grill'd. that has changed the world, if only by a little bit.
if it's sucessful enough, perhaps they'll offer other vegan and vegetarian burgers to capitalise, and maybe beef demand will drop even further. it's not like they're bought and paid for by the beef lobby - they're just here to sell as many burgers as possible.
"i can't single-handedly fix this issue, therefore it's not worth trying", a.k.a the "south park" attitude of aggressively seeking the middle ground and thinking anyone who cares is stupid for doing so is pretty tiring.
@get-innocuous: Non-meat eaters are not the target market for a chain called Griil'd.
It's a healthy choice add on. It's necessary to avoid restrictions or bad publicity. Same with sugar free Coke.
Just like Maccas hasn't exited the meat pattie market after offering non-meat options. Mum's feel better about taking their kids there because of those choices - but how many take them up against pester power. It's about getting people in the door & selling more!
The marketing aim is about adding & retaining customers, not a real change in market orientation.
I've eaten at non-meat cafes & restaurants most of my life… But that didn't make them the natural choice for Australian diners.
Beliefs rarely triumph over profits.
So if you think this will change their business, the marketing has worked.
@INFIDEL: Your rationale assumes no one who eats beef will ever select a vegan burger. I do not think that is the case. My housemate eats meat but her favourite burger is the "Garden Goodness". I've rarely seen her order anything else - but if it didn't exist she would have ordered a beef burger. Additionally, perhaps people will feel more able to become vegetarians if they know there are good non-meat options at places they regularly eat. If Grill'd can offer a compelling vegan option I think some meat eaters will take it some of the time - which is a small change, but it's better than nothing.
@get-innocuous: No, I said this is a healthy choice add on - that is an alternative to a meat
menu. But like at Maccas, people will know it's there, but will they choose it?
I suggested it is mainly directed at those who are diet conscious (primarily current meat eaters!). Grill'd know their target market - meat eaters🍖
Best to read what I wrote - not what you thinkMeal substitution or addition is the aim of this promotion. It is not really to attract non-meat eaters to a meat restaurant - that would be a step too far & waste of marketing money! It is to make people think I can eat more regularly there, now there is a better non-meat option (that they may not order…).
I've served vegetarian meals to so many meat eaters, who were unawares the tasty ingredients. I ran soup-kitchens. Pulses & in-season local vegetables were a very cost effective solution.
I've also been a business consultant to various large organizations. And spent my time organising grassroots political campaigns for change. And I eat meat & love non-meat meals. A foot in many camps.@INFIDEL: Then your argument doesn't make any sense mate. If you reduce demand for meat (by having meat eaters consume non-meat products instead) then you are making a change. Grill'd won't take an ideological stand against meat of course - but they'll be more than willing to adapt to consumer demands. They're not a beef company - they're a burger joint.
If it means people eat non-meat products at Grill'd instead of meat products elsewhere then it is also a win - for Grill'd and for the environment.
(As an aside I don't think anything about the vegan burger says "healthier"to me but maybe it does to some).
@get-innocuous: You choose to miss the point…
Have You missed the campaigns against obesity, diabetes, global warming, etc advocating less meat consumption.
So food businesses jump on the marketing bandwagon to increase their profits. (And avoid bad publicity, campaigns to enforce food restrictions & taxes, etc.)
They offer non-meat options to convince customers their's is a hearlier option. Just like adding a "gluten-free" label to food that never contained gluten… It's all about better customer perception & increased profits💰
It's just marketing to lessen consumer resistance to coming through the door. Handy to understand how it works. Thought every one understood this.
This is an add on item, available but not likely to be a #1 seller.
You mlight see this as reducing meat consumption at a very meat restaurant, but marketing will see this as a way to increase sales - including of mear burgers. This relaunched option is to bring present customers back mpre often. The marketing team would face dismissal of meat sales fell!!
I'm glad of the option, but not taken in by the marketing or imposing my beliefs & idealism on it. It's just a business trying to make money😱
@INFIDEL: no, their marketing team will have questions to answer if a) burger sales fall or b) average margin falls, because either of those things means lower profits. grill'd doesn't care if they sell less meat, they care if they make less money selling burgers.
i never suggested that Grill'd are doing this out of the goodness of their own hearts, but it doesn't stop me thinking that more compelling non-meat offerings are a net-good anyway.
@get-innocuous: Glad you agree.
Yes, As I keep saying - it's only driven by profits.Substitution of a new, "improved" non-meat burger for the old non-meat burger - it's just hype, or the previous product was not popular - for a reason!!
It's to drive more customers into stores, selling more of meat & non-meat meals. To create chatter that a typical meat based restaurant Grill'd actually has a non-meat option. (Probably few customers bought it, so let's try again.) So much for a big change away from meat!
But a chain known for meat based food moving away from its core product - can't see it happening. That reputation / "goodwill" is worth a small fortune for Grill'd.
Didn't change Maccas by offering non-meat options as I pointed out, just kept Mums consciences happier!
Everyone still associate Maccas with meat! The world didn't change by offering non-meat options. They're only options, not why people go to these places for food.
Doubt Vegans would be lining up at a meat restaurant just because of a non-meat option😉
Got breeding magpies to keep happy with an offering of meat - tried soya substitute but they wouldn't touch it. And making too many typos on the phone. So bye.
@INFIDEL: Wouldn't surprise me to see sugar free soft drinks outselling their sugary counterparts today.
Organisation's need to be adaptable if they want to be successful in their market environment.
"Beliefs rarely triumph over profits." - exactly? Their "core business" is whatever leads them to the biggest profits, and if the market trend indicates that this will be vegan patties in 5 years time, you better believe they'll adapt lol, lest they sink into non-profitability.
How can it be Vegan and have cheese?
