    As always a lovely video. The reaction of the staff at the little cafe is just how a lot of places used to be a few years ago. The more people ask for vegan options in remote places, the sooner everywhere will realise it’s really not that difficult to cater for us. As Janine said baked beans on toast. In the end they had a soup which turned out to be vegan anyway so the next vegans that go in will have that offered to them. You’ve started a little ripple affect there !! They’d best stock up on that soup 😂

    I love that the café didn't cater for vegans but had soya milk and served vegan vegetable soup without realising it! I've always loved soup and up there I bet they sell plenty of it. It does show that it's not that hard to have vegan options that have mass appeal. Love your adventures. I never realised that Dunnet Head was actually the most northerly point. I'm going to look up to see why we have all been conned into believing it's John O'Groats!

    • @ThoseHappyDays

      I mean, in the end, they were lovely in that cafe. But at the start they weren't the best, but as you say, it was a lack of understanding what being vegan is. We had lots of conversations with them anyway and it will be different for the next two vegans who wander in there
