And 4 of these can be non-vegan too
If I can't see an ingredients list or talk to a chef who knows what veganism is then I just assume it's got animal products no matter what it is

I'm presuming both forms of chips can be non-vegan due to the potential of being cooked in animal fats, what's potentially wrong with the salad and/or beer?
Not only animal fats, I've seen chips that had milk listed as an ingredient. But yeah for fries it's mostly the possibility that there's animal fat involved.
Salads often have dressings with dairy ingredients, or just straight up have cheese thrown in
Alcohols are often processed with animal products, like isinglass (made of fish bladders) which is used in clarification. Mostly a concern in wine but I think it's used in (some?) beer too
Interesting to know.
Milk in chips has definitely thrown me for a loop because I can't think of any reason why that would be there.
How many times have you seen sour cream or cheese flavored chips? Dairy is all over the snack industry sadly.
I wasn't having an issue with dairy, just milk specifically. If my chips have cheese, i expect to see them labelled cheese, not milk.
Many of the flavors use powdered milk to achieve the desired tastes is all I was saying.
the one that gets me is when there are milk products in spicy chips like...? doesn't milk denaturize capsaicin? you're making the chips less spicy by doing that, you absolute clowns
Some chips (at least in germany) contain sweet whey powder. It enhances the taste and is sadly often used in sweet paprika chips. I don't think, it will have too much effect on the spiciness
isinglass is rarely used in beers any more, not only is it more expensive, in the US the micro brew crowd has a significantly higher number of vegans than the general population so nobody wants to lose that business. In Europe isinglass doesn't conform to purity laws for countries that have them. Unless you're drinking a milk stout ( or sometimes a chocolate stout, but they're mostly just brewed with cocoa nibs) there's a >99% chance your beer is vegan.
Unfortunately some sours are started with dairy yogurt (Oakshire Brewing in the US does this for all theirs), and there was a quick trend of lactose IPAs. Generally these things are outlined on the label, but not always. Worth a check whenever you’re considering a sour, at least.
Be careful with the order of those.
waiter waiter one billion beers please
Where are the peanuts?
air fryer hash browns with a bit of olive oil is really good I gotta say🤗
Chips and beer have gotten me through many events.
I call it the cope kit
