Vegan Treasure Map

I proudly present you with the Vegan Hamilton Treasure map, marked with lots spots that have vegan goodies! This version is definitely incomplete though, I have a lot of investigating to do.
 
I recommend you view the  Vegan Hamilton Treasure Map larger on google maps and see all the marked places in a neat little list.


If you want to collaborate on the map or just suggest a new place for it this leave a comment here, or send an email to nickivarkevisser@yahoo.com

Vegan Pizza, Flavoured Tempeh, Fake Bacon and Other Goodies at Main St. West Fortinoes

Fortinos provides all a vegan could want (minus nutritional yeast.) Okay, they have most of what a vegan can want. Today I found out how much the selection varies store to store. The Ancaster Fortinos is pretty good. It's always well stocked on vegan milk alternatives and icecreams and has a decent selection of fake meat and tofu but I've never seen a single vegan pizza there though. Or vegan bacon.(Edit: they totally re-organized the whole store and added a bunch of vegan-y things. PIZZAS even! All the time!) But they have it at the Fortinos on Main St. W, near Mcmaster!  No word on how often but they had a great selection of stuff.


Here is one of the types of vegan pizza offered at the Main St. W Fortinos.
It's $10, which isn't bad considering
a) it's made with Daiya cheese which can cost $5/bag
b) a regular take-out pizza can cost that much.

It doesn't look quite like cheese and it doesn't taste exactly like mozzarella. It's more like a softer, creamier cheese, but hey, it does melt. And tastes good. I wouldn't lie to you, it's actually good!

Anyway there are more than 5 Fortinos in the Hamilton area. Any tips on others' vegan selection?
