Ideas for make-ahead vegetarian and vegan finger food

From theguardian.com

Keep things simple, outsource and prep ahead where you can, and never forget the golden rule of canapes … 

My daughter is getting married: what vegetarian and vegan canapes can I make at least a day ahead?
Sue, by email

“Canapes need to be no more than two mouthfuls,” says Barney Desmazery, author of One Dish Four Ways, “unless you’re going to provide something to eat them from, but in my book they’re then no longer canapes.”

You’ll not want anything too labour-intensive. “Sue is going to be making them tens or hundreds of times over, so outsourcing some work with store-bought ingredients is an easy win,” says Richard Makin, AKA School Night Vegan and author of Stress-Free Dinners. Also remember that, as with most things in life, less is usually more: “Good ingredients always triumph over complicated recipes,” says Desmazery, who recalls a wedding he once attended in Liguria, Italy: “There was a round of aged parmesan with knives for guests to break off shards, and that was great.” Granted, parmesan isn’t one for Sue’s vegetarian/vegan spread, but you get the idea.

An overriding theme might be one nice starting point. “Eighties retro is having a revival, so you could have some fun with that,” says Desmazery, who might kick off proceedings with devilled eggs. And vegans needn’t miss out there: “Replace the boiled eggs with halved boiled potatoes,” says Makin, who then pipes in vegan “mayo” mixed with paprika and turmeric for that yolky colour.

Or how about vol-au-vents with a creamy, mushroom and tarragon filling? “Take the chill off [on the day] in a microwave, then spoon the filling into the cases,” Desmazery says. And, while you’re about it, knock up some Waldorf salad cups for good measure. “The only problem with going retro is the risk of your guests just thinking you’re old-fashioned,” he warns, so, if there’s any danger of the irony being lost, he’d be inclined to go down the crostini route instead: “Do three toppings, which can all happily be made ahead: a minted pea or broad bean smash, which can be kept vegan or topped with cheese (vegetarian feta, say); sliced figs with soft cheese drizzled with honey; and white bean hummus with sliced artichoke hearts.” On the big day, that leaves just a simple assembly job.

On a similar get-ahead vibe, Georgina Hayden, author of MEDesque, says, “It might sound simplistic, but a selection of bowls filled with various dips, gorgeous crudites and gildas [of sorts] is a glorious thing. Make the dips in advance, prep the veg [cover with damp kitchen roll to stop them drying out], and stud small skewers [or toothpicks] with olives, antipasti and pickles.” You won’t need to put down your drink for Makin’s go-to, either: “Panipuri are perfect because you can buy the crisp shells ready-made, they’re usually served cold and they’re packed with flavour.” A spicy potato and chickpea filling is traditional, but you could happily go rogue and spoon in whatever takes your fancy: “Just have the coriander pani ready in shot glasses for guests to pour in themselves.”

Some say that smoked salmon is the ultimate party food, and Makin pulls off a vegan version with thinly shaved carrot or beetroot. “Boil them for 30 seconds to take the crunch out, then plunge into cold water.” Once drained, submerge overnight in a mix of smoked paprika, lemon juice, black pepper, dill and white-wine vinegar, then serve on crackers with vegan cream cheese. That’s just the ticket for a wedding breakfast, too.

6 Cities Where Street Food Vendors Make Vegetarian and Vegan Eating Easy for Every Traveller

From kansascity.com

By Lauren Schuster 

Travelers looking to skip meat without skipping the local food scene have more options than ever. These six cities stand out for street food vendors who make vegetarian and vegan eating easy, affordable and genuinely delicious. 

Which Street Food City is Best for Vegetarians? 

Mumbai is widely considered the top street food destination for vegetarians, because most of the city’s iconic street dishes are meat-free by default. You don’t have to ask for substitutions or hunt down specialty stalls — the default menu works.

According to a National Family Health Survey, approximately 18% of people in Mumbai reported being vegetarian, which has shaped a street food culture built around plants, legumes and dairy. Look for pav bhaji, vada pav, pani puri and bhel puri at stalls across the city. 

India as a whole has the highest percentage of vegetarians in the world at 29.5%, according to World Population Review data, which helps explain why vegetarian street food is so deeply embedded in Mumbai’s daily life rather than treated as a niche offering.

How Do You Find Vegan Street Food in Bangkok? 

Bangkok makes plant-based eating straightforward: look for stalls marked “jay” (เจ), which means vegan. Vendors typically display a yellow diamond icon with a red border and the symbol written inside. 

The jay system is rooted in Buddhist dietary practice and is widely recognized by Thai vendors, so spotting the symbol on a cart or menu is a reliable signal. Pad thai with tofu (ordered without fish sauce, and without egg if you’re vegan), papaya salad without fish sauce, grilled corn brushed with coconut milk and mango sticky rice are all common finds.

For travellers who don’t read Thai, the visual marker is the easiest way to navigate a busy night market without a translation app. 

Is Mexico City Good for Vegan Street Food? 

Yes — Mexico City has built one of the largest vegan street food and restaurant scenes in Latin America, with over 3,000 establishments offering vegan options. 

Mexico has the second-highest percentage of vegetarians in the world at 19%, behind only India, and is tied with India for the highest percentage of vegans at 9%, according to World Population Review. That demand has pushed street vendors well beyond the standard taco. 

Look for tlacoyos stuffed with beans and topped with nopales and salsa, plus sopes and huaraches layered with black beans, onion, cilantro and avocado. These dishes are traditionally plant-based, not modern substitutions.

What Vegetarian Street Food Can You Eat in Ho Chi Minh City? 

Ho Chi Minh City offers an unusually wide range of vegan street food thanks to the influence of Vietnamese Buddhist cuisine, often called ẩm thực chay or simply chay.

Even Vietnamese diners who don’t follow chay restrictions year-round commonly eat plant-based for religious or health reasons several days each month, which keeps demand for meat-free street food consistent and prices low. 

Look for mock-meat dishes built around tofu and seitan — including bánh mì chay made with tofu — along with fresh spring rolls and phở chay, typically made with mushrooms in place of beef or chicken.

What is the Best European City for Vegan Street Food? 

London ranked number one out of every city in the world in the 2025 Vegan City Index, published by HappyCow at the beginning of 2026. HappyCow is the world’s leading platform for vegan dining. London’s strength is range. 

The city’s popular street food markets — Borough Market, Brick Lane and Maltby Street — are packed with plant-based options drawing from cuisines around the world. Look for stalls selling falafel, dosas, bao and tacos, often side by side.

Berlin came in third in the same 2025 Vegan City Index. The city’s döner culture has well-established meat alternatives, including vegan seitan and falafel, and Markthalle Neun — a historic market hall originally opened in 1891 — offers a rotating mix of global cuisine with strong plant-based representation.

Subway has just added a new plant-based BBQ filling to its menu

From veganfoodandliving.com

By Rachel Smith 

Subway has unveiled a new smoky vegan BBQ Pulled Plant Protein filling for summer, bringing smoky barbecue flavours to its plant-based menu for a limited time

Subway has expanded its plant-based menu with the launch of a new BBQ Pulled Plant Protein filling, available across the UK for a limited time from 3 June.

The new option features plant-based protein coated in a smoky and sweet barbecue sauce, offering a meat-free alternative for customers looking to enjoy classic BBQ flavours during the summer months.

The BBQ Pulled Plant Protein can be ordered as a Footlong or 6-inch Sub, wrap, salad or jacket potato through Subway’s Spudway range, giving customers a variety of ways to enjoy the new filling.

To mark the arrival of the new filling, Subway Rewards members can also claim 30% off any 6-inch or Footlong Sub purchased through the Subway app until 16 June.

                                                                                                                    © Subway

The BBQ Pulled Plant Protein is available now at participating Subway restaurants across the UK, as well as through the Subway app and selected delivery platforms.

The launch adds to Subway’s existing plant-based offering and provides another convenient option for customers looking to reduce their meat consumption without sacrificing flavour.

Subway’s vegan menu

Subway first entered the vegan market in 2019 with the launch of its Plant Patty, before introducing a series of meat-free products including the Meatless Meatball Marinara, T.L.C. (Tastes Like Chicken) sub, vegan Double Chocolate Cookie and Teriyaki ‘Steak’ Sandwich.

While many of these fan favourites are no longer available, the new BBQ Pulled Plant Protein gives plant-based customers something new to try this summer.

This Week’s Food News: Vegan Cottage Cheese Is Here, Steak Hits Whole Foods, and Oreos Get a Nostalgic Summer Twist

From vegnews.com

By Charlotte Pointing

From new shredded and cubed plant-based steak to a brand-new vegan  ice cream collaboration at Carvels, here’s the biggest vegan food news of the week

This is your one-week reminder: Mother’s Day weekend is almost here. If you haven’t picked up something special for your mom or mother figure yet, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered.

Check out our roundup of 40 vegan gift ideas for every kind of mom (yes, even the really, really hard-to-shop-for ones). You can also read more about Farmgirl Flowers and why a peony bouquet might be just the thing to put a smile on her face this year.

But before you start shopping, let’s dive into this week’s vegan food news. 

Chunk Foods’ meaty vegan steak now available at Whole Foods

                                                                                                                         Chunk Foods

If you’re craving something meaty, juicy, tender, and unmistakably steak-like, it might be time to head to Whole Foods Market and pick up some Chunk. The popular plant-based meat brand—known for its whole-cut alternatives made from plants—is now available at the retailer. The news was shared by Alex Malamud, the brand’s VP of business, on LinkedIn.

Alongside an image of Chunk Pulled, Chunk Steak, and Chunk Moroccan Spice Cubes, Malamud wrote: “There are moments in business that feel bigger than the shelf they land on. Seeing Chunk launch in Whole Foods Market is one of those moments for me … It’s a reminder that big milestones are usually built through long, incremental work. Persistence matters. Belief matters. Showing up again and again matters.”

He added: “If you stop by Whole Foods and don’t see us on the shelf … there’s a decent chance we are … sold out.”

Kite Hill’s new cream cheese has double the protein compared to conventional cream cheese

                                                                                                                              Kite Hill

Often, vegans get asked: “Where do you get your protein?” Sometimes it’s a genuine question—and one that deserves a real answer. But if you want to keep things simple, you could just hand them a tub of Kite Hill’s new cream cheese.

The popular dairy-free brand’s Protein Cream Cheese Alternative packs four grams of protein per serving. That’s double the amount found in many traditional dairy versions.

“Consumers have always turned to dairy for protein, but that benefit has been missing from dairy-free options, especially in cream cheese,” said Connie Sintuvat, VP of Marketing at Kite Hill, in a statement. “We saw an opportunity to bring protein into a format people already love, without sacrificing taste or texture.”

Treeline’s vegan cottage cheese is back and coming to a grocery store near you

Treeline’s vegan cottage cheese is in high demand. In fact, it’s been so popular that the brand has struggled to keep it in stock—every time a new batch drops, it quickly sells out. If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on it, now’s your chance, because its Non-Dairy Cottage Cheese is currently available on its website. 

The good news doesn’t stop there. Treeline is also on a mission to make the product more accessible than ever. In a recent Instagram post, the brand hinted that it will be rolling out to grocery stores by the end of the year.

“Yes, Vegan Cottage Cheese does exist! If you don’t do dairy but still miss cottage cheese, we made this just for you! You can’t get it anywhere else—at least for now! In stores later this year …,” the post reads.

Oreo launches a triple-flavoured summer cookie

                                                                                                                         Nabisco

We’re eternally grateful that classic Oreo cookies are accidentally vegan—after all, what pairs better with a chilled glass of oat milk? But it gets even better: most of the time (though not always), the brand keeps animal ingredients out of its limited-edition releases, too.

That seems to be the case with its new Firecracker Pop Oreos, which feature not one, but three summery flavours. Inspired by the classic popsicle, the crème is infused with raspberry, lemon, and cherry.

Iconic ice cream parlour chain Carvel unveils new vegan menu

                                                                                                             Big Box Vegan

Popular ice cream chain Carvel has experimented with vegan options in the past. In 2024, for example, it teamed up with Oatly to offer a range of dairy-free soft serves, hard scoops, ice cream sandwiches, and dessert cakes.

Now, per Big Box Vegan, the brand has partnered with dairy-free favourite Klimon to introduce yet another line-up of vegan-friendly soft serve and hard scoops, in flavours like strawberry, chocolate, cold brew, pistachio, mint Oreo, cookies and cream, and chocolate peanut butter.

For now, these new options are only available in the New York metro area, but there are hints of a wider rollout in the future—so stay tuned.

The McPlant Fizzled Out, So Can You Actually Eat Vegan at McDonald’s?

From vegnews.com

McDonald’s US may be lagging behind the rest of the world when it comes to vegan options, but it’s not impossible to eat plant-based at this fast-food chain

More than 80 years ago, the first-ever McDonald’s opened in San Bernardino, CA. Its mission, at the time, was to wow people with two things: speed and low prices. Customers could have a hamburger in their hand in just a few minutes, and it would only cost them around 15 cents (less than half a gallon of milk at the time). We know now that this was the dawn of a booming fast-food industry.

Today, McDonald’s has locations in more than 100 countries, and it also has stiff competition from chains like Burger King and KFC. But is the former pioneer of the fast-food industry keeping up with changing attitudes around diet today? 

The words “flexitarian,” “plant-based,” or “vegan” weren’t widely in use when McDonald’s flung open its doors in the 1940s. But now, more people than ever are cutting down on animal products. In fact, one 2023 study estimated that over half of young Americans now consume more plant-based meals than meat-based ones. 

From fries that contain milk to zero veggie burger options, it’s safe to say there is work to be done at McDonald’s. But it’s not totally impossible to avoid animal products at the world’s biggest fast-food chain. Here’s how to eat vegan at McDonald’s in the US.

The McPlant burger

There was a time when you could find a vegan-friendly burger at McDonald’s—but only if you lived near one of the eight test locations sprinkled across Texas, Iowa, Louisiana, and Southern California. At its height, the chain’s vegan-friendly burger—dubbed the McPlant—was served in 600 restaurants from February to August of 2022 as a test for future markets.

Due to slow sales, the burger was not greenlit for a nationwide expansion plan, forcing plant-based patrons to get scrappy when it came to ordering.

McDonald’s UK

The burger, which features a Beyond Meat plant-based patty, is still available in certain markets. It’s a permanent menu item in the UK, for example. In Germany, the McPlant is no longer available in a burger format, but McPlant Nuggets made by Beyond Meat are now on offer. In other countries such as Austria and France, the McPlant burger is no longer available, but vegetarian options remain. 

The US McPlant trial didn’t experience the same success—or menu spinoff—as other countries. This is the opposite of rival Burger King, which announced the successful nationwide launch of its plant-based Impossible Whopper in 2019.

Some have speculated that the McDonald’s McPlant trial was hindered by the fact that many of the chain’s participating US locations were in rural areas, where plant-based options aren’t as popular. However, the fast-food giant itself hasn’t commented on the trial results. It also hasn’t announced any plans for further trials or a nationwide launch.

Are McDonald’s fries vegan?

Fries are a go-to when eating fast food for most people. If there is nothing else on the menu, you can be pretty safe with an order of fries and perhaps a side salad. But not at McDonald’s. The chain’s World Famous Fries are seasoned with beef flavoring, which doesn’t contain any actual meat, but it does contain milk (go figure).

@mcdonaldsuk | Instagram

In many other countries, McDonald’s fries are vegan, so it’s worth double-checking if you’re traveling abroad. In the UK, for example, the menu item is certified as vegan by The Vegetarian Society. Several petitions have been set up urging the chain to follow suit in the US, but as of yet, there is no indication that the recipe will be changed. But, if you’re craving fast-food fries, a number of chains offer vegan French fries.

McDonald’s vegan breakfast

There may be no burger or fries, but is there at least a McDonald’s vegan breakfast? Again, the options are limited. If you’re happy with a plain English muffin, you’re in luck. But there isn’t much else. The hash browns are cooked with the same beef flavouring as the fries (which contains milk), and the oatmeal is made with dairy cream. 

VIP

If you’re in the market for black coffee or orange juice, these drink options are vegan. But note, there are no plant-based milk options. 

McDonald’s vegan options

Though they are limited, McDonald’s has a handful of other vegan options on US menu. Here are a few of the menu items available to US patrons.

1Burgers

Okay, as established, there is currently no vegan or even veggie burger option at McDonald’s in the US. But if you are really desperate, you could create something relatively substantial by making a few alterations. The burger buns are vegan, so one option is to order a regular Big Mac, request to remove the beef patty, cheese, and Big Mac sauce, add ketchup and mustard, and double up on the lettuce, onion, and pickles.

2Sides

Fries are a no-go, but if you’ve got kids in the back of the car, you could grab a pack of Apple Slices for them to snack on. (Or just munch on them yourself!)

McDonald’s UK

3
Desserts

Customers in Germany were treated to a vegan KitKat McFlurry option in 2022, but in the US, no such menu item has appeared yet. But while most of the dessert menu is dominated by dairy, there is one option vegans can enjoy: the Baked Apple Pie, which features a hot apple filling, lattice crust, and sprinkling of sugar.

4Condiments

Without French fries or sandwiches, we’re not quite sure what to put sauces on, but it’s always good to know what’s vegan. Along with the standard ketchup and mustard, the Tangy Barbeque and Sweet ‘N Sour dipping sauces are free from animals. Our tip to you: take these sauces home and enjoy them with your favourite vegan nuggets.

5Soft drinks

If you’re just grabbing a quick beverage at McDonald’s, you’ll have a fair amount of choice, as most of its soft drink options, like Coca-Cola, Sprite, Dr Pepper, and sweet tea, are, of course, vegan. You could also try a Hi-C Orange Lavaburst. The fruity soda used to be a staple on the McDonald’s menu before it was discontinued a few years ago. Now, the chain has brought it back. Orange juice and apple juice cartons are also available.

6Coffee

As there is no plant-based milk on offer, coffee options are limited. However, if you’re just stopping by for a quick caffeine hit, you can grab an Americano (black, of course), or a cup of its Premium Roast Coffee.

There’s no getting away from it, the vegan options on McDonald’s US menu are pretty poor. But thankfully, the fast-food giant is not the only chain to sell burgers. Check out our guide to vegan fast-food chains for the next time your burger craving strikes.

The 10 Worst Fast-Food Chains for Vegan Food (USA)

From vegnews.com

From Krispy Kreme to KFC, these US chains have the thinnest vegan offerings right now

Finding vegan options at the big chains isn’t as hard as it used to be. Starbucks is leaning into oat milk for its fall menu, and it stopped charging extra for dairy-free milk. The Impossible Whopper is holding steady at Burger King, and bean-forward burritos and bowls at Taco Bell and Chipotle make grab-and-go possible without a scavenger hunt.

Yet for all the progress, many American chains still lag behind their counterparts abroad, where plant-based mains have turned from novelty into standard fare. Burger King UK publicly set a goal to make half of its menu meat-free by 2030, McDonald’s keeps the McPlant in regular rotation in the UK and Ireland, and KFC UK sells a standing vegan burger—none of which have a true US equivalent.

McDonald’s UK

Even as sales fluctuate, plant-based eating is mainstream. The Good Food Institute and Plant Based Foods Association estimate US retail sales of plant-based foods at more than $8 billion in 2023, with 60 percent of households buying into the category and plant-based milk nearing 15 percent of the milk aisle. Gallup’s 2023 polling puts identification at four percent vegetarian and one percent vegan—small shares, but persistent, and large enough to matter at a drive-thru window. Yet major chains still lag way, way, behind.

Why Europe feels further along

The contrast is not ideological so much as operational: the European market has treated plant-based as a menu pillar rather than a customization. Burger King UK writes of its “commitment to having a 50 percent meat-free menu by 2030,” and McDonald’s made the McPlant a permanent fixture in the UK and Ireland after US pilots fizzled. KFC UK’s vegan burger sits alongside chicken buckets, proving that a fast-food kitchen can carry a dedicated vegan build and keep it simple for staff and guests.

Taco Bell

For US diners, the practical playbook remains the same. Start where the options are explicit—Starbucks for an oat milk latte; Burger King for an Impossible Whopper (hold the mayo); Taco Bell for vegan builds like the Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme (certified by the American Vegetarian Association); and Chipotle for Sofritas bowls. Everywhere else, scan the allergen statements and be ready for heavy modifications.

The worst chains for vegan food

Below are the worst chains for vegan food right now—measured by whether a customer can order a substantive, inherently vegan entrée without major modifications.

Arby’s

1Arby’s

The brand’s slogan says the quiet part out loud. Arby’s offers no plant-based meat entrée in the US, and even “accidentally vegan” options come with caveats about shared fryers. Dessert turnovers and a garden salad exist, but for anyone seeking a proper sandwich, it is a hard pass.

2KFC (US)

KFC briefly tested Beyond Fried Chicken and drew headlines, but the item is not a permanent national fixture. Today, a vegan order amounts to fries, corn, or a side salad. Across the Atlantic, however, KFC UK keeps a dedicated Vegan Burger on menu, a reminder that comparable options could exist here but do not.  

Domino’s

3Domino’s (US)

Domino’s publishes a vegan- and vegetarian-ordering page in the US, but the advice boils down to skipping the cheese entirely. There is no national vegan cheese or plant-based meat topping, and sauces and crusts vary by region. Ask for a pizza without cheese and you are technically accommodated—but that is a modification, not an offering. However, demand for dairy-free cheese is growing, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals recently purchased stock in Domino’s to encourage the fast-food giant to roll out vegan cheese nationwide.

4Pizza Hut (US)

Pizza Hut partnered with Beyond Meat for a limited run years ago, but the chain still does not carry vegan cheese nationally. Its own site suggests ordering vegetable pies without cheese for a “vegan-friendly option.” By contrast, Pizza Hut UK lists Violife vegan cheese and a clearly labelled vegan range.

5Krispy Kreme (US)

For a morning run, doughnuts remain off-limits. The company’s US nutrition page is explicit: “The only animal by-products used in our doughnuts are eggs (whites and yolks) and dairy products (including milk, butter, yogurt, whey, non-fat milk and non-fat whey).” Until the US menu adds a vegan ring (Krispy Kreme has offered vegan items in select international markets), coffee is the only reliable order.

6Chick-fil-A

There is no vegan entrée. The Southwest Veggie Wrap is topped with dairy cheese, and the cauliflower sandwich includes egg and milk in the breading. Waffle fries or a kale salad remain the default vegan pick. And while the limited-time meatless cauliflower sandwich was promising, it was not suitable for vegans as it contained dairy. Even so, the sandwich disappeared after its limited run. 

7In-N-Out

The cult burger chain still treats “veggie burger” as code for a bun filled with condiments and produce. The fries are cooked in vegetable oil, but there is no vegan patty, no dairy-free spreads, and no formal vegan entrée. 

8Sonic Drive-In

Sonic’s own allergen guide is blunt about limitations and cross-contact (and it offers no vegan main). As the document states, “we cannot eliminate the risk of cross-contact or guarantee that any item is free of any allergen and no items are certified gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan.” Tots and fries exist, but that’s about it.

Dunkin’

9Dunkin’ (US)

While it may have dropped “donuts” from its name, they’re still the chain’s biggest draw. And if you’re looking for vegan doughnut options, Dunkin’ is not the place to visit in the US, anyway. Head to the UK for a range of options. In the US, now that the Beyond breakfast sandwich has been phased out, you’ll have to stick with bagels and English muffins, which any doughnut lover knows is no substitute for a donut.

10Five Guys

This burger classic still has no vegan entrée. The standard bun is made with milk and eggs, which means even the “veggie sandwich” default is not vegan unless you turn it into a lettuce-wrapped pile of grilled vegetables—an accommodation, not a menu item. Fries are cooked in peanut oil and can round out a snack, but there is no inherently vegan main on offer.
