  • In This Episode,
    1. Family Lodge Check-in: We kick off our adventure by parking the motorhome and checking into a comfortable lodge, setting the stage for a week of fun at ‪@centerparcsuk‬ Elveden Forest. 🏠
    2. Epic Fishing Adventure: Watch as my nephew Liam catches a 10lb common carp-his biggest catch ever! His joy is contagious and a highlight of our trip. 🎣
    3. Fun Activities Around the Park: We dive into swimming, play bat and ball, and enjoy bike rides around the park, soaking up the beautiful surroundings. 🚴‍♂️🏊‍♂️
    4. Wildlife Encounters: From spotting deer to watching playful squirrels, we immerse ourselves in nature’s wonders throughout the park. 🦌🐦
    5. Electric Bike vs. Scooter Comparison: ‪@engweofficial‬provided me with their ENGINE PRO 2.0 bike and S6 Scooter. I compare these two electric rides, weighing their pros and cons for motorhome travelers. ⚡🚲🛴
    6. Keto-Friendly Dining: Staying keto, I enjoyed a carnivore omelette at the Pancake House and indulged in chicken wings at Huck’s American Diner. But the surprise came at Las Iguanas with their vegan mayo policy! 🍗🥚

    Rather than throwing your toys out the pram at the poor server which will ultimately achieve nothing it’s is important to understand WHY a huge amount of restaurants have already switched to vegan Mayo without you even knowing. Most large chains repackage mayo in to their own dispensers. So Main reason is condiments being left out lead to a significant increase in bacterial load Vs vegan Mayo. Also in a recent industry publication where 12 Mayo brands were blind tested Hellman's vegan Mayo was the clear winner with 38% of the almost 1000 participants ranking it as there top pick for taste and freshness. This probably won’t change your opinion but from a corporate perspective if you have something that tastes better is safer and means all your customers with egg allergies are safe it is a no brainer.

    Hi Daz looks lovely where you are. Liam is such a cutie, I love it when they are that little because everything is amazing for them. I don't think you should get angry with vegans, they aren't the ones imposing the mayo on you it's the restaurant! I agree that they are out of order. Like they sale meat FFS. So it has nothing other than cost cutting for them. Clearly there should be a choice between the two.

    100 percent agree with you Daz over the vegan mayo, nothing against people who choose to be vegan for whatever reason but you have a right to have normal mayo and like you said, they were serving meat so it really doesn't make sense!?! About a month or so ago I got a free gift with my online ocado shopping and that was a vegan mayo! I haven't touched it and am looking to give it to someone, I mean they can't even give the stuff away lol. Had an argument once with one of my nieces who turned vegetarian whilst her boyfriend is vegan, I asked the question, if we were all to go vegan, what would happen to cows and pigs, it isn't like people would keep them as pets, they would have no use anymore and probably go extinct. Someone I used to work with used to rant about people who said they were vegan and yet still used leather shoes, handbags etc. Sorry, but I like meat, I hate that we have to kill animals to eat but I like the end product! Now if I had to kill my own food that would be a different story! I am just waiting for the next thing where we are told vegetables have feelings too lol

  • @groundbeef662

    Went to a beefeater recently and one of the desserts with brownie and ice-cream sounded great until I noticed it was vegan. I said to the waitress that was a shame as I would have liked that, she offered to make it with real ice cream, I pointed out that the brownie would still be vegan. Oh yes she said.. so I ordered a normal sundae that also had brownie in it. When it arrived I realised it had no brownie, it was still nice I ate it and they apologised for the oversight and took some money off the bill to cover the lack of brownie.. but afterwards I thought about it and I think they were serving vegan brownie in everything and when I pointed it out they took it out of the non vegan dishes 😮

    Center Parcs is private although as the public have access to the site I would be cautious using an electric bike, especially on the roads there, just in case you had an altercation with another vehicle....if that happens and the police are called you could have your electric bike confiscated, not trying to be a party pooper just letting you know how it is.

  • @Ivanho-go

    I am confused, the only difference between the bike and scooter is a set of pedals. Is this how they are defined? Its a bit like mayonaise, an egg is the difference and probably palm oil for the vegan one. I wish manufacturers would stop messing with our food, if there is no egg its not mayonnaise. I think you should do a recipe vlog. Stand up for real food😊

    Tbh i think its a fair point, non vegans are automatically expected to comply with vegan eating habits as if its taken for granted they will be okay not getting animal protein. If a vegan went to a omnivore restaurant, and were only offered mayo made with egg, without a doubt they would complain that their dietry needs were not being met. Lets have a level playing field andequal rights for all. For the record for people who were critical of Darren… he is doing Keto, vegan mayo contains potato starch and corn starch - not present in hellmans original and NOT Keto friendly.

    Fact: Mayo is grossly unhealthy, be it ot vegan or not, due to its 95% oil content
    Fact: You can emulsify all that oil with something other than an egg and it tastes just the same.
    Fact: I'm a foodie - I cook and bake everything and I know what I'm talking about.
    Next time, try the vegan one - it will still be 95%oil.

    I totally support your right to rant about anything you like in your videos on your channel. You make a great point, if it was the other way around the vegans would be up in arms about it. For some reason it’s ok for non vegans to eat vegan products but not ok for vegans to eat animal products. The main ingredient to mayo is eggs, so like most vegan substitutes it’s not mayo at all. It’s a non egg gloop, made with who knows what. Recent studies suggest a link between over processed vegan foods and disease. So not offering real mayo but an over processed potentially unhealthy alternative isn’t only possibly bad for you but infringes on your right to choose the types of food you can eat.
    These corporate overlords need to be called out on these policies.
