  • Here’s a Christmas dish for our vegan and vegetarian friends that’s not a salad, side or fake meat - Smoked Watermelon Ham. Watch the video and make it at home this Christmas!
    Recipe
    For the brine you want 2.5% salt and 1.5% brown sugar (compared to the total water volume), then add your 4 x cinnamon, 8 x star anise and 10 x cloves. Brine your watermelon for 48-72 hours.
    Smoke the melon at 125°C/250f for the first 3 hours and then turn it up to 170°C/335f for the last 3 hours.
    Remove from the smoker and score the top into a diamond pattern before basting with olive oil and rosemary. Enjoy!

And for the frybread we have leftover, it’s honey and powdered sugar as dessert. Send us some love. We’re watching! ♥️

      It’s not a requirement it’s a preference, there’s a difference between physically not being able to eat something without getting sick or dying like allergies or celiac disease
      If a vegetarian or vegan eats meat nothing bad will happen, if someone with a peanut allergy smells peanuts in the air they could die

Another thing is that people with vegan diet may have hard time digesting animal products, since their gut flora is not used to it.
