Vegan Starters and Snacks Recipes

Here are 60 Diamond Jubilee ideas that we invented to celebrate The Vegan Society's 60th Anniversary 1944 - 2004 - 60 sandwich ideas.

The sandwich industry is big business - many companies have made fortunes slapping something between 2 pieces of bread and calling it lunch. Far too few offerings are suitable for everyone to enjoy, so, to celebrate The Vegan Society's 60th Anniversary, we came up with 60 ideas in the hope that our future lunchtimes will be brighter and more nutritious.
