very O/T: plant based food

Best veggie burger I've had is Linda McCartney mozzarella burger. I tried the beyond and wasn't that impressed

Best sausage I'd say Richmond ones

Quorn peppered streaks used to be nice as well, not sure if they do them now.

Frankie and bennys used to do a superb vegan burger they have changed it now to some beetroot one, was alright

There's something weird about a food brand named after a dead person.

How many brands are named after people who are still alive?

Good point but the brands you name are just surnames and no-one probably associates the brands with the individuals who started them. Linda McCartney is a different kettle of....er.....not fish. Her fame was in a different sphere of life and preceded the food brand subsequently named after her.

Someone will now mention Newman's salad dressing.....

Dinasaur? Dinasaur? How very dare you. I'm not a dinasaur. Half of those were vegitarians. I'm an omnivore. I eat veg and meat.
Ask a dog, they do it too. It's called the food chain.

I quite fancy the look of those beetroot burgers they sell in Lidl. Anyone tried one?

I’ve tried beetroot sausages (made by that company called Heck). I was very sceptical at first, but they were really nice and I have them quite regularly now - they’re flavoured with a bit of Horseradish to give them a bit of oomph.

I find minced steak is a very good substitute for quorn. I use it all the time. no additives or anything.

...is the right answer.

Sara Lee chocolate cakes!

...is the right answer.

Is it tho? I asked for suggestions for meat substitutes, because some of them are very good. It's not because I disagree with meat eating: in fact it's the opposite, I eat far too much meat really so I just want a bit more variation in my diet.

There is nothing wrong with minced steak and I agree it is very healthy. But it's meat. So why do you think it is the "right" answer to a request for meat substitutes?

Because some people think that anything which is different to what they think it should be is wrong. There's a few on this board.

No there's not !

The Beyond Meat burgers are superb, as are the Richmond Sausages. Put them in the oven with a bit salt, pepper and garlic puree.

Quorn as a brand are very hit and miss. They're a bit old fashioned now and haven't kept up with the times.

Vivera is another good brand. Their steaks are very good.

Yes there is!

Where can I get vivera?
