This post is mainly to describe how last night's vegan social went, but I'd like to start first with a quick culinary question just to get your competitive juices flowing (I've hidden the answers behind an lj-cut in order to raise the tension).

If someone who, for various reasons, had been unable to get to a supermarket recently, were to attempt to improvise a bolognese sauce for their lunch out of the following ingredients...

• A 500 gram jar of "Barbecue Cooking Sauce"
  
• A can of baked beans
  
• A fair heapful of "beef flavour soya mince"
  

...and were then - after nuking the mixture in the microwave for three minutes - to combine that with a huge bowl of pasta, would the result, by that evening, be that said person was feeling:

a) Peaceful and content.

b) Like someone had rammed a bicycle pump up their arse and was steadily pumping away.

Forgot to mention in the previous post that one of the films they showed was a very funny animated piece called The Meatrix which I managed to find this morning via a quick bit of googling.
