[Magdalen] Meatless, but definitely NOT penitential

They use soy milk. Dunno how it tastes in tea or on cereal, as I've never 
been even remotely interested in trying it.

When my younger son was vegan, I was amused at all the things he got which 
were fake this or fake that - like soy milk.
Thankfully, he's no longer vegan.

In fact going vegan, isn't it?  It's the dairy that would sink me. How
can you have cereal or tea with no milk?
