Beyond Meat Burgers

Re: Beyond Meat Burgers

I'm enough to remember when crisps had no added flavour at all, and had the bit of blue greasy paper wrapped around a pinch of salt. This was many years before "Salt and Shake" which were brought in to appeal to us oldies who bemoaned the passing of the blue twist.

They were brought in to appeal to kids for their packed lunch.. Some kids in my primary school refused to eat any other flavour "because salt and shake are cool"

Really? Well I’ve learnt something today

Oldies think everything is about them?

No, I genuinely didn't know that and it's nice to learn something. I remember Salt n Shake as a kid (not sure if they still exist) and didn't know that's why they came about

I didn't know that either, but my point was s+s weren't just brought back for the oldies..

Re: Beyond Meat Burgers

Seen a few critical posts mentioning that humans are meant to be omnivores etc. Personally that's the reason that I am trying to limit my meat intake. Will probably never be a veggie, but I am well aware that the crazy amounts of meat I was eating are no good for myself or the planet.
I'd imagine that our ancestors ate vastly less amounts of meat than most of us do now. The huge amounts of meat and dairy consumed by many certainly aren't our 'natural diet' as humans

I'm a sort of hybrid.

I'm definitely going to cut right down on my dairy intake though, and limiting bread, pasta, rice etc which is obviously OK in moderation, but definitely not great for you.

Find a balance that suits, I've seen and read quite a bit and I take something from each of it that suits myself and I'll morph it all onto a little diet that benifits myself and my health.

Information is out there now

Re: Beyond Meat Burgers

The f****g nerve of this after some of the stuff you said about my Peugot 206

I loved that car Delme .

I used to call it my holiday car ( every time in came in the workshops it paid for my holiday )

That thing you have now is a waste of space.......

Re: Beyond Meat Burgers

Had a couple of Beyond Meat burgers on the weekend and the best compliment I can pay them is to say that I wouldn't mind betting that there have been a few with an "over my dead body" attitude to eating vegan meat substitutes who have actually eaten them without realising it. Very nice they were and I'll definitely be having some more, but the down side was that, after being pleasantly surprised by how affordable vegan foodstuffs are in the supermarkets, these matched my presuppositions of how much they'd cost by being a fiver for a pack of two burgers that were a bit bigger than quarter pounders, but nowhere near the size of half pounders.

Beyond products are silly expensive, no one can argue with that, they were made in the US, though when they started selling them in Starbucks ( china ) Beyond opened a Chinese plant to cut carbon footprint

The ones I have had in the UK were all made in the US

Would make sense for them to produce it here.

I've tried wicked kitchen ready meals as something quick in work and they were nice as well, the 2 I've tried so far chilli and Korean style.

Didn't find Richmond sausages as nice as the cauldron ones, wouldn't say they taste the same as the 'meat' ones they do but they are OK.

we fluctuate between Richmond and cauldron , Richmond and great as breakfast sausages, while cauldron are good on BBQ's

There are two downsides for me: bloody expensive; and far too much crap in them (rapeseed oil in particular). On the plus side it's not soy protein, and they do taste excellent.

What's wrong with rapeseed oil?

Re: Beyond Meat Burgers

Tried Richmond vegetarian (don't think they're vegan are they?) sausages for the first time on the weekend and actually preferred them to "normal" sausages because they weren't so fatty - I'll definitely be having them again.

Re: Beyond Meat Burgers

Birdseye veggie (vegan?) Meatballs are a new family favourite. Cheap, tasty and not soy protein. Kids love them. Sainsbury's are flogging off loads of frozen vegan stuff for £1 at the moment.
