I hate to be this guy. And I apologize. However they are likely referring to the dairy that traditionally comes in mashed potatoes.
You're 100% right but these should be called vegan if thats the case
It literally says vegan right on the package….
How can you tell?
That pixel over there
That's a synonym for plant-based.
Vegan is a loaded term for a lot of people. They recoil in horror at the thought of something being "vegan". But "plant-based" isn't anywhere near as vile, for those people.
Exactly. This is mashed potatoes made without (cow) butter.
And (cow) milk.
How has several people forgotten that in these comments?
Same probably goes for this one I found at my local supermarket: https://i.imgur.com/aMDLCM2.jpg
I maintain that no reasonable person should ever call a product with sour cream in it "guacamole", but I presume that's the ingredient they're trying to identify is definitely not included.
Techniclly Plant Based could still include non-plant ingredients tho, or it would just be plant...
It's probably in reference to the butter
And the milk.
And my axe
I mean, yeah, this probably seems silly to most, but as a guy who's allergic to dairy this makes me pretty happy. All the plant based stuff coming out has been a godsend.
Mashed potatoes made without butter sounds pretty bad. I feel for you.
Vegan butter has gotten surprisingly good.
It really has.
Most mashed potato recipes include milk and butter.
How to make slow-cooked potatoes that fall right off the bone.
I was hoping for a You Suck at Cooking video but was not at all disappointed!
I mean, yeah this labeling seems redundant but as a vegan living in the U.S, where everything is made with low quality dairy or eggs whenever it's remotely possible to do so... I appreciate the effort.
I just want that heart shaped V on all the vegan packages and then a vegan only section so I don't have to shop the regular food isles. 1 stop shop.
This flies in the face of supermarket design. They want you to get milk from the far corner, then head to the opposite corner for bread before dragging the kids past an isle of crappy toys and sugar flavoured food substances.
I finally understand why management hated my product display placements when I worked in a store. They were entirely unwilling to explain and preferred to give me shit and expectef me to just know.
I welcome the opportunity to tell my favorite vegetarian story. Years ago, PETA went around elementary schools to promote meat-free diets. The local news channel followed and broadcast this interview:
Reporter: Did you learn a lot about vegetables?
5-year-old: Vegetables are good.
R: What's your favorite vegetable?
5: Chicken!
The name implies there are meat-based potatoes … so where are they! 😤
Running the government
I like you….
The last job I worked before going back into the trades was at a grocery store and we sold "Plant Based Rice"
Lemmy moment
Sometimes I feel like I am the meat potato
The problem isn't the name the problem is that it's ready made mash potatoes. Like come on bruv who's buying this??
Mashed potatoes are super easy to make for 20 people and kind of a labor intensive pain in the arse for single people by comparison.
What do you expect from Asda?
The meat potato is the guy who buys this
This drives me nuts!!? I'll see something in the store like... A can of black beans that says "Gluten Free!". Like... what do people think beans are made from?
Sometimes they'll throw in a little flour as a thickening agent, like a roux. It's not common, but would still be an unexpected allergy.
This kind of bullshit happens a lot more than you think.
They could have sprinkled the MSG, GMO, and gluten dust on them for reasons.
