Going Vegan Means Greater Variety Of Foods

Odd contraction in an article about a guy going vegan.
'I bought things I had never tried before - linseed, pumpkin and furikake seeds, Japanese seaweed, samphire, biorashers (a distant and I suspect disowned relative of bacon), some demonically titled 'Seitan' slices, Cheatin' mince and vegan sausages, yacob root, miso, tempeh, Cheezly (fake cheese) and nuts to boost the protein levels, even a vegan haggis.' 'I had to become far more imaginative and resourceful to acquire taste, using rosemary, soy sauce, coriander, chillies, garlic, cinnamon, ginger and mustard in an attempt to recreate the elusive feeling of 'bite' you get with meat.'
