    It was an early lunch. About 11:45am.

    I like a chilli cheese omelette for breakfast. And corned beef hash. But I could eat anything. I often eat leftover dinner for breakfast.

    Re: Beyond Meat Burgers

    Why do people get so wound up about what others choose to eat? All seems very snowflakish to me.

    I'll never be a vegetarian, but I'm at a stage now where I prefer the vegetarian/vegan option for things like sausages and mince for when I'm making chilli, lasagne and cottage pies to the "real thing". I've not had a burger in years, but I'm looking forward to trying those Beyond Meat ones - presumably you can get them in places like Tescos?

    I’d love to attack do gooders regarding veganism etc but it’s actually good for your health so I can’t really.
    Soy is VERY bad for you though.

I don't understand why someone of this persuasion would want to make their food look like it contains meat (or even eggs in the vegan breakfasts) but they do. I think I know why beyond call it a burger - its a clever marketing ploy to sell more because some people would think it was a real beef burger, if they just went by the name and wouldn't buy it otherwise. I have great respect and absolutely no problem with people that are vegan or vegetarian (my daughter and son in law are both) but just don’t get this ‘crusade’ to make the different types of food look and taste the same. Unless of course it is because some (not all) vegan and vegetarian dishes look and taste so unappetising. At least that's what my luddite meat eating palate tells me.
    Surely being vegan or vegetarian is about making a choice not to eat actual meat products, not about avoiding things that taste of meat. By the same token, why don't we just have potato flavoured crisps?

    Have you ever tasted a potato?

    If you are satisfied with a plain crisp that tastes like a potato it’s suddenly clear why you’re so happy with the bland football played by city.

    Re: Beyond Meat Burgers

    I guess the only potato flavoured crisps would be Salt n Shake pre salt and shake

    incase anyone is interested

    Meatless farm Company ( Tesco's sell it ) has a offer on at the mo, but the product and scan the QR, upload pic of receipt and then get a voucher to get another product ( might be the same ) free

    free food for very little effort, winner

    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.
