Speaking of dairy...

On check-in I show the Keurig as the source of decaf and off hours coffee -- at that time, I'll ask if they take milk or cream and put a 2 oz pitcher in the guest lounge fridge or service bar mini. Breakfast default is half-n-half, with 2% or almond or soy on request. We don't put cereal out, so no milk unless someone requests.
And along the line of the sweetener question, I'd say the demand for almond or soy has been less than half previous years. Other trends: Meat ok, but no pork, virtually disappeared (bye-bye chicken sausages). Vegetarian is about the same at 10%, GF maybe dropping a little, shy of 10%..

More guests wanting the veggie sausage and delighted we have it. They mention it's yummy.

Veggie sausage? Morningstar. Original patties. They come 2 to a pack so you're not opening a box of 12 just for the rest to get freezer burn.
If you don't use a lot of them I suggest putting the extras in a freezer bag, the box doesn't really protect them once it's opened.

The Morningstar tastes like sawdust to me. I use Field Roast and they're vegan. More expensive, but freeze really well. I usually mix them in with whatever I'm cooking (eggs, tofu, etc.). What vegetarian & vegan really like is when I saute mushrooms & add the sliced sausage in towards the end just to put a little color on the slices. They're very tasty. You can get them in supermarkets where they sell the fresh tofu & veggie/vegan refrigerated products, or if you have a Cost co they're in larger quantity and cheaper. Just be sure to take off the plastic casing before you cook them.

I'll look for both of these to try, thanks.

I just bought the vegan Chorizo from TJ. Price was reasonable and it was damn good. I bought it mostly because it can easily be used as a flavouring, in small quantities to add to maybe fried tofu.

I've used that and it's good! It's spicy, so I always check with my guests first that they like spice. It's very easy to fry up some potatoes and add the chorizo. Also with a tofu scramble. There also a similar product you can get in some supermarkets called soyrizo.

2% milk and that is it----for coffee, cereal, or glass of milk.
