I've attended this show twice before but never have there been so many products labelled vegan. The first stall Nidya, Immy and I went to was Alpro, they were selling their super tasty yoghurt desserts for half price! They also thought their curry mixes were vegan, but upon checking they contained fish. Our next stop was the popcorn stand and a sample of their delicious product. I asked if it was vegan and the stallholder told me she and her colleagues are all vegan! They sell giant tins of their popcorn, New Zealand Kettle Korn, and refill them at most of the markets around town. Next up was Cherub and a chance to stock up on dairy free cream cheese and parmesan.
We sampled two types of vegan ice cream, one with soy and one, a newer product, with coconut cream. They were very delicious but not exactly cheap. Moana wines was there. The Ceres stall had smoothies made with rice protein powder and fruit and they also sell pea protein powder. There were vegan muffin mixes in several tasty flavours made by Pastry Kitchen. Lots more too!
We easily made back our $10 entry fee each in free samples, and children under 10 years old are free. It was packed and hard to move by the time we left, lunchtime. Highly recommended if you feel you can handle the crowds.
