occisional vegan cafe type affair (1 Viewer)

[mazzyianne]

Hey spraoiers are, trying to get something like the certain death cafe (that used to be in the north strand warehouse) going again.
You can ignore the bike bit if u like seeing as it doesn't belong in the food section.

Anyays, e-mail seomraspraoi at gmail if yer interested in helping out.
The cooker thing is now more a matter of transport.

Help wanted to set up occasional vegan cafe and bike fixing


There was a seomra spraoi meeting last night, minutes available shortly on:

http://seomraspraoi.blogspot.com/

People's kitchen: There was a callout for people to get involved, and start a cheap vegan cafe maybe once a week. There is a wish list for stuff stuck up in Seomra Spraoi. One thing that is badly needed is a cooked or someone who knows how to convert a gas cooker to be able to connect to a gas cyclinder.


Bicycle work: People will be invited to bring old bikes to Seomra Spraoi next Thursday day time for fixing up during the day. Lots of ideas of what to do with the fixed up bikes when they are ready - including suggestions to use as fundraisers for Seomra Spraoi.

this sounds great. i will definetly consume here as often as i can!

I love fixing bikes. Does vegan(ism) involve avoiding everything that comes from animals or just stuff that involves their deaths? Because I love cheese, you see.

 

[Buzzo]

Veganism is animal products. My love of cheese is the only thing that stops me from becoming vegan. I simply can't do it.

 

[Ciansy]

I'm with you there. Feta's probably my number one, but I'll eat just about any curdled bovine/ovine/caprine (probably not the right word) lactate.

 

[mazzyianne]

I also love cheese...
mmmmmmmmm
But the cafe I assume is to be vegan so anyone can eat there.
So thanks michelle for offerring to eat the food, but we're looking for chefs and choppers and clean-upers and stuff first

Dont forget fake tan for the pasty looking vegan skin

 

[Theseus Mock]

errr. am i missing the joke but why do vegan food & bike fixing go hand-in-hand?

 

[mazzyianne]

That was mainly me being lazy, cut and paste-ing instead of separating the two things.
But also, a while back in the warehouse on North Strand every sunday there used to be a bike workshop and then a great vegan cafe. the Book and zine libraries would be open too and sometimes music or a workshop of some kind. Its all there in the similar threads down the bottom of this page probably. Then the warehouse closed.

The cafe people want to get it going again.

And people are needed to help with both, and the zine library I think.

I'm really curious about this because I think it sounds like an amazing buzz- autonomous, independent, not for profit social space.

I have questions, this may not be the appropriate arena to answer em in but I'll ask regardless....

Is there any presence of the local community or is it mainly through internet/music/politics/being a pinko associations that people hear about it/use it?

Re. the food: If it's not for profit do you still have to comply with (what tends to be) overly stringent health regulations?

What times in the week would it be open?

Do you have a striclty 'no mayo' policy?

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Mayonnaise has egg in it though and egg is a vegan no-no right?

Just use salad cream instead.

 

[Buzzo]

Vegan mayo.

What's salad cream made of? Salad? Blended vomit + vinegar?

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Salit cream is made of milk, onions, vinegar and stabilizers.

 

[Squiggle]

Salit cream is made of milk, onions, vinegar and stabilizers.

Milk would also be a vegan no-no.

Not sure how it would work with soy or rice milk...

 

[La La]

salad cream is one of the most disgusting things i have ever tasted

 

[Rachel666]

you should try ranch that's way better

from going to the cafe in the warehouse...i'd say yeah,nearly everyone who went there came from those kind of circles,not that im saying people who were doing it didnt want local people coming down,i guess sometimes things just end up like that though
