very O/T: plant based food

Re: very O/T: plant based food

quorn mince with beef oxo's that made me chuckle

it caused a bit of a uproar in the vegan world when it launched, thats why the Royale is labelled Vegan On the menu next to the plant based whopper it has a * and in very small print its stated its cooked with the meat

Yeah, Quorn mince (as in the actual brand Quorn) is terrible. That's what I mean about them being hit or miss. Some of their stuff is great and the rest isn't.

I've only been a veggie for five years but so much new stuff has come on the market in that time. When I started, it was pretty much Quorn or Linda McCartney only.

Given the chance which would you rather eat? Quorn or Linda?

Linda will probably have gone off by now .

The boxes were more tasty than her sausages back in the day.

Re: very O/T: plant based food

Tried these tonight. Very impressive as they are a very good impersonation of Irish sausages. Only issue is I'm not really a fan of Irish sausages, I much prefer a quality Lincolnshire. I also misread the label, thought it said 1.1% carb not 11%! Still- very tasty.

cauldron Veggie Lincolnshire sausages are very nice, they are in the fresh veggie sections

Re: very O/T: plant based food

We did try Sully Sports for a few weeks . They have a few different types of vans and eating experiences there . We were fairly well supported but in the end it wasn't financially viable.
We are doing the makers markets and street food events . Cardiff Blooms on Friday . I may be going away nest week though ...

Chepstow (great for us) on Sundays .
Cardiff Bay street food coming middle of August on Fridays as well.

Doing Caldicot festival this Friday evening .

We have been doing Cwmbran on a Thursday, which is struggling to be honest .
Places like Thornbury , Coleford and Bel Vue in Newport are great for us.

Its a new business venture for me . Doesn't feel like work. Great chatting with the customers when it isn't too busy.

good luck with it Jimmy

I'd pay a lot of money for a takeaway pizza with a cauliflower base. I make them myself but it's a pain in the arse (this is a keto thing, not a Vegan one). I've made friends with the local Indian takeaway and they've made a keto lamb dish for me which is loaded with lamb and spinach, but I miss my pizza

We had in the US " BBQ cauliflower wings ", it was great, I did my take on the dish during the 1st lockdown, tasted great, have a google for a receipt

I go Keto a few time a year.
I know that it’s not a sustainable thing to do unless you adhere to the lifestyle.
It’s ridiculous how much you fancy any legumes!!

Tell myself once I’ve lost a bunch of weight. It’s all good.

Something like Noom might be the answer for me, since I give up once the water weight plus 5 is shifted.

After a 20g carb diet for a few weeks, I genuinely believe that a bean salad will be the greatest thing ever

Quorn mince is just like Tofu in that it tastes of whatever you cook it in. The Cottage Pie I'll cook today or tomorrow will be made with vegetable stock and plenty of Worcester Sauce and herbs - I daresay the taste would be considered too strong for a Cottage Pie by many.

Re: very O/T: plant based food

Anyone got any favourite vegan substitutes? I'm not vegan, but my diet is Keto and I try quite a few vegan things just to mix it up as they often have the right sort of nutritional profile.

I had Beyond Meat Plant Based Burgers today: £5 for 2 at sainsburys. They were awesome! To be honest they've got a bit too much filth in them for my liking - a load of crappy rapeseed oil, as well as maltodextrin, so reluctantly I'll not get them again but they really are very very good to eat.

Anyone got any other favourite meat replacements?

interesting way of coming out

Those are great, probably the best veggie ones in my opinion

Top man.

The way I eat I feel slouchy and have no energy, going to try it bit by bit 👍
