I wouldn't feel ashamed. Really. Ditching meat is a huge step and I have nothing but admiration for anyone sacrificing their own comforts for the sake of another, be it human or animal. Good on ya I say!...
Glad you like the nooch. Shame it's so hard to get. Dublin used to be a real backwater where you could get nothing but we're oh so cosmopolitan now we have nooch dealers on every corner!
I do feel ashamed about it as kicking meat was actually easier than I expected and I did it a long time ago now. It's high time for the next step in my evolution, but I've been putting it off for selfish reasons and that's why I feel a bit bad about it.
I'm sure I'll eventually find an online shop here that sells it at a reasonable price and doesn't take ages to deliver. For now, Bulgaria is by no means vegan-friendly most of the time, but you could see some progress even here. ;)
