UK gets its first ‘vegan butcher’ shop

‘If you’re wondering what exactly does a vegan butcher mean in practice? Well, you’ll be able to stock up on some of their vegan alternatives to meat including a rack of jack, lobstah salad, meatballs, chick’n lover pate or shredded BBQ pulled porc – alongside dirty burger patties, packets of baycon, cheeze sauce & chilli-non-carne. They’re even getting ready for Christmas with “roast turk’y” too. Yes, there’s quite a lot of play on words going on here. There’s also a new charcuterie section – with vegan smoked ham, salami de provence, pepperoni and their famed homemade pastrami. Rudy’s is at 206 Upper Street, London N1 1RQ. If you can’t make it down to Islington – you can also stock up online and they’ll do delivery nationwide.’ Read the full story here
