No cheese in a cheese shop? That really takes the biscuit

a neW cheese shop has opened in south london, but it doesn’t sell cheese. la Fauxmagerie has non- dairy cheese-like products, which is a bit like trying to sell an egg-free omelette.

The cheeses are made from plant-based alternatives, such as cashew and almond milk and they are every bit as grim as they sound.

in any case, how do you a milk a nut? i’m not sure i want to know, but i sympathise with the dairy industry, who are most unhappy with these imposters calling their products cheese.

Why vegans insist on eating meat-free or dairy-free copies of foods they purport to hate is one of the mysteries of the age. Why not just stick with tofu, if you are that way inclined?

la Fauxmagerie was opened by sisters Rachel and Charlotte stevens (right), who say they are ‘not dissing cheese’, just providing an alternative.

With the success of greggs’ vegan sausage rolls and even vegan kebabs, there’s clearly a market for these faux foods, but where is it all going? They’ll be making butter from peanuts next, mark my words.
