There are so many Percy products sprung up in his 21 years but only one pack of veggie sweets which is a shame, come on M&S if you can do one bag without gelatine I'm sure you can do many more!
Having said that, I did spot this nice looking Percy pudding on their website which is veggie friendly.
Moving on to other recent purchases and that is Earl Grey tea bags. I am always on the quest for good quality EG tea bags for a quick, non ceremonial drink throughout the day. (coffee is my evening indulgence, tea gets me through the day).
This is my current stash.
Firstly and one of my favourites, alongside M&S EG (not pictured here), is Booths store own brand.
Booths are a wonderful chain of supermarkets mainly in Lancashire and the North West, with a few in the Yorkshire Dales. Their EG is very flavoursome and good value and comes in a pretty purple box, my favourite colour!
Here is a link to a tasty recipe from Booths website, I must try it, hence the link is mainly to remind myself.
Whilst I'm sharing things veggie, here is a link from a friend to another great source of veggie recipes
And one more
Back to the tea. It's good to be a bit healthier now and again with some green tea and this is a Taylors, very delicate EG green tea which doesn't taste too watery so I can about manage it.
I am a lovely of black and strong, flavoursome tea so lighter teas and green teas can be a bit of a struggle for me but this is ok.
Lastly, a new purchase and unopened so I can't comment yet but it's a Duchy EG in a nice stylish package. I hope my expectations aren't too high as it's a Duchy!

What I don't understand is if M&S can make one lot of Percy Pigs veggie then why aren't they all veggie because I'm sure even carnivores don't crave gelatine!!!
As for tea I like 'builders' tea I'm afraid, strong with no milk or sugar, I find Earl Grey too perfumy .
Thanks for the veggie links, I've already sent the frogs in my kitchen to my son!

We're big Percy pig fans in this house and have just bought two big percy's for our twin nieces birthdays next week!
I think its funny that the only veg friendly sweets that M&S sell are those shaped like pigs :) Your right thought, they should be selling more.
Re tea. I'm a coffee drinker myself and hardly indulge in black teas, thought I do sometimes have a chocolate tea or its herbal. Liked reading your views on the diff brands though. We don't have Booths in Wales-yet.
