Today I have tried Richmond's meat-free sausages. In terms of texture they've got a satisfying crunchy skin to them, the most pork-like of any vegetarian sausage I've tried, although it does tend to get stuck on your teeth. The inside was slightly too dense for my liking. In terms of flavour they tasted vaguely like a pork sausage but it was largely just... nothingness. It was diluted pork.

They'd probably go well in a fry-up, but I wouldn't recommend getting them unless they were on offer.

Huel's chocolate option reminds me of Alpro's desserts. Overall I'd rate it as the best flavour I've tried as the vanilla tends to leave that scratchy feeling at the back of your throat.

Mate.

Fry bacon with it. Scoop out the innards, fry it in the pan with the bacon.

The seeds end up tasting like charred bacon, the flesh didn't impact the flavour of the bacon much but I guess had a very minor impact. But the fucking seeds dude, they tasted amazing.

They're an accurate production of real Richmond sausages, then?

To be honest I think slightly shit sausages are best for a fry up. They should be a bulk, while the real flavour comes from good bacon, and scooping a bit of everything else up onto the same fork.

Cheap sausages at least have a flavour to them. The veggie Richmond sausages were about as close to tasting of nothing, without actually tasting of nothing, as you can possibly get.

It's surprisingly difficult to get decent vegetarian sausages. One of the supermarkets, possibly Asda, used to have a nice range of own-brand Lincolnshire and Cumberland ones but they stopped making them a while back.

I haven't had them in years. From what I can recall they're okay, but nothing to write home about. They've got a distinct taste, which isn't really meat-like; they're quite nice in a sausage butty with some sauce but, in my opinion, they don't really 'go' as part of a meal that you'd typically have had a sausage with. They remind me a bit of the ones you can make yourself with Sosmix.

Today I have tried Naanster's balti chicken filled naan, because it was reduced when I went to Co-op yesterday.

The naan bread was slightly soggy from being microwaved and felt rather glutenous. It also had an overpowering amount of nigella seeds. The filling was pleasant enough but there wasn't enough of it, particularly the chicken.

4.5/10.

Today I have tried the Kashmiri size pizza from Co-op's new vegan range, Gro.

The pizza is topped with MozzaRisella, which is a cheese alternative derived from brown rice milk, spiced cauliflower and chili peppers, not that it really matters because the toppings are completely overwhelmed by the sauce. You're basically eating dough which tastes of chip shop curry sauce with a little bit of heat added. It could do with a little more texture and susbtance but it wasn't too bad.

I don't really see what the point of the rice cheese was. It didn't add anything apart from, like you say, making it look like someone had spaffed all over the pizza; certainly nothing in terms of flavour.

I had a vegan pizza with vegan mozzarella in a pub. I didn't really notice the mozzarella as the whole thing was piled high with rocket for some reason but it was pretty good. £11 which is what you'd probably pay for a pizza delivery which is weird considering it was a London high street pub where all the alcoholic drinks start at £5

It wasn't too bad, actually. I mean, you know what you're getting with a Rustlers burger. It could have done with a bit less coriander and a bit more mango chutney but it did the job. If I had another one I'd probably add in a slice of cheese as a topping.

The ones you get from Lidl are ok. You get a bigger pack for less money, and the meal itself is completely identical, I think they're from the same factory. But the mainstream supermarkets are just taking the piss, the prices are silly for the amount of food you get, those small packs like you've pictured have less food than there is plastic packaging.

Quorn-Ultimate-Healthy-Vegan-Burger-FSRD.jpg

The 'Ultimate' burger is Quorn's attempt at making a so-called bleeding burger through the use of beetroot. It has to be the worst veggie burger I have ever eaten; I couldn't even finish it and I'll eat almost any old shite. I can't put my finger on precisely what it tasted of. Metallic? Cocoa powder? I don't know but it was certainly cheap and nasty (without actually being that cheap).

Beyond Meat isn't bad but given that it's basically reshaped dog food I find myself wondering if I should save myself a shitload of money by eating dog food instead. I've seen people eating dog food on telly so I know it's a possibility, apparently the quality assurance people in dog food factories get paid good money to chow down on Chum's, but I've yet to bring myself to do it.

Rustlers-Breakfast-Muffin1-620x330[1].jpg

I ate: a Rustlers Breakfast aka the imitation McMuffin.

What's in it: it's the same kind of patty as their burgers, but in a weirdly plastic-lumpy muffin with fake cheese and a sachet of jam.

What it tasted like: first mouthful confirmed that it's a Rustlers burger alright. I usually regret these thing. However the taste improved after that mouthful and by the end I was smiling a surprised smile, much like the meticulously-groomed young chap in the OP.

Would, and will, eat again, until they replace it with something even less edible.

I tried the bottled SARAH MILLICAN'S SQUELCHY FANNY CUSTARD they sell in some supermarkets. The mouth feel wasn't very nice, and it was meant to be vanilla flavour but tasted like how Play Dough smells, but it did fill me up so it did its job.

The other night I was in Asda, and had a craving for biscuity goodness of the type that can only be cured with a good pack of chocolate HobNobs. However, there was a 50% off offer on said HobNobs, rather understandably resulting the entire lot being sold out. So I was forced to instead, choose the Asda own-brand equivalent, out of desperation.

They are not good. I got the chocolate variety, not the ones pictured, but it does not improve their prospects. Their crucial flaw is lacking the malty, caramely warmth and aftertaste of a proper HobNob- Instead it tastes like a cross between a digestive, some cold rolled oats, and a dash of sawdust.

Avoid, even ate the bargain price of 40-odd pence.

I've finally got around to trying the No Chick Strips from Iceland's vegan range. A lot of brands that try to replicate the texture of chicken with layers of layers of hydrated soya protein fuck it horribly by making it too chewy or too watery but these were spot on.

Today I've tried sausages by the Meatless Farm Company as these were on offer in Sainsbury's from £2.50 to £2.

Every review on the Sainsbury's website is either 1 star or 5 star so they're either very polarising or people from Meatless Farm Company are posting fake 5 star ratings so it doesn't look so bad. I'd give them 1½ out of 5 if I was feeling generous.

It's literally Sosmix that they've pre-prepared and dressed up in nice packaging. They're laughing all the way to the bank.

It probably tastes the same but it isn't, the ingredients are quite different.

You have a point despite the inappropriate use of the word "literally".
Most of the common vegan protein sources are pretty cheap compared to meat, companies like quorn put a mountain of effort into their recipes to try and get their products as close to the real thing as possible and can justify the price, but the market is open for companies like that to charge massively inflated prices on processed wheat&soy tubes.

This to me highlights the absurdity of the whole exercise. It is like a person who keeps telling you they are over their ex even when they are with a new person, people who buy these things and say you 'you can't tell the difference' know that there is a difference and miss the difference that's why they are comparing.

It is pretending to be something it isn't and consequently it can never be it or as good at being it. I'm sure the mushrooms or soy or whey they used might taste wonderful on it's own terms but I wouldn't know because I only ever find these things when they are pretending to be pork or chicken, which they definitely aren't.


If you brought me chicken and told me it tastes just like tofu I'd end up hating chicken.

That is the absurd argument of someone who is making a choice they don't actually like and defines them self as being counter to the mainstream rather than actually embracing the implications of the choice they have made.

If Vicars started proclaiming the virtues of pegging between married couples 'as a way to scratches the itch for sodomy while not being homosexual for whatever reason' you would think they were off their rocker.

You don't see jews buying chicken flavoured to taste like pig.

Considering the success of the collaboration between Quorn and Greggs this was a bit of a let down. Vegan pastry has a tendency to be fragile and this broke apart at the slightest touch. The filling is also inferior to the Greggs roll.

Overall it's about on par with other chilled sausage rolls, but it was a keen reminder that I just want Greggs to open up again.

Today I have tried the Morrisons vegan pasty. These are usually £3 for 2 but I picked them up as they were reduced.

My only really complaint is that there wasn't enough filling so it was slightly overwhelmed by the pastry and I'd have liked there to have been more of the 'meat' and the swede. If the choice was between this and the Quorn steak bake from Greggs then it would be the pasty by a mile. It's not a brilliant pasty, but it's no worse than what else you can pick up from a supermarket.

Tons of junk food is vegetarian (crisps, plenty of sweets, cakes, all sorts) so going veggie won't fix your diet if it's shit already but it's wrong to say vegetarian food isn't filling.
I mostly eat the same as a vegetarian as I did when I ate meat as I'd learnt to cook frugally as a student and used tons of pulses and things to fill out meals already, so removing the meat component just left me with practically the same dish minus a bit of cheap chicken that, while quite nice, I didn't miss all that much.
Veggie bolognese, lasagna, chilli, curries etc. all fill me up just as well as the meaty versions and although veggie stuff obviously lacks the centrepiece meat cuts other types of meals aren't lacking. Plus being veggie means I still have tons of eggs, cheese and too much butter.

I'm going to go out and say it, the best sausage roll is when you get a couple from a multi-pack and warm them up in the oven or microwave. Maybe it just reminds me of being left in the house as a teenager while my parents went somewhere for the weekend.

Papa John's is my favourite of the big chains, I know what you mean about the sauce, but it's still better than most to me.
The most important thing to me on delivered pizza is the crust, and I think they do an excellent thin one.

I basically see actual pizza and takeaway pizza as two different foods, and set my expectations accordingly.

Pizza hut is actually unpalatable to me, though. The sauce tastes burned and it's just a bit rank in general - I've avoided them long enough to recall the details of why they were so disgusting.

I might give this a try. I used to love cooking, but since I got with my current missus I've done very little of it thanks to the fact she's both fussy and a veggie.

None of the stuff I used to like making works quite as well with meat substitutes, because most of it revolved around the way meat reacts to different cooking techniques; and even my signature lasagne is no good because it rested on my secret pork/beef mixture*.

She doesn't even like mushrooms so I've no idea where to start sometimes.

*Ready to be triggered as fuck, cheflads?

The secret was squeezing the filling out of Richmond sausages for the pork component.

Veggie mince ranges from awful to alright, but never good. If you're not careful it can easily overpower the flavour of a sauce once it's mixed in. My top tip is to avoid Quorn or Tesco's own brand frozen mince as they are the worst. Very fine dehydrated soya mince is good at absorbing flavours.

There seems to be some kind of burger patty shortage at the supermarket so I had to buy the expensive ones. It all looked so promising, massive and full of saturated fat that barely shrunk in the pan.

But they're shit. Biting into one is like eating a ripe peach in terms of juices but entirely it's flavourless. I don't get how you can fuck up so paradoxically unless they're absolutely packing breadcrumbs in and then drizzling lard over the top.

I always put a good helping of salt and pepper on burgers before I fry them, and in the end they're so covered in barbecue sauce, onion and fuckloads of gooey edam that you don't really taste the beef so much either way.

I have a distinct memory of the sort of burgers I used to have at my auntie's house when I was a kid, where I'd just have them on their own on a plate with some chips and beans. They were delicious. I've never found anything that compares, in shops or restaurants or anywhere else. They had a specific, rich, almost creamy taste.

Most catering and takeaway, indeed the best tasting, best cooking burgers have a very interesting mix of fats, heart meat and other cheaper cuts. That's where the flavour and juiciness is burgerlads, it's in the heart. Burgers and sausages should never be the "prime cuts" as there's generally no fat in them and no exercise on those muscles to add character.

I might've said something about the "head to tail" cuisine thing before on here, the same food movement that's against an industrial usage of offal meat in processed products, and wholeheartedly against mechanically recovered meat that at least helps feed the nation via chicken nuggets. I despise that movement - not for what it stands for, but for the clear class-based snobby hypocrisy of it, don't use that offal meat, just in case twig-botherers can have an ironic meal of liver and kidneys to impress the area media marketing communicator. They'd hate it otherwise. Yuck, this burger has....heart in it! Ewwww! I'd like to talk to the manager please. Get to fuck. [/rant]

I lived off roasted lamb hearts at uni, I could get 4 for £1.20, stuffed them with fried onion, garlic, herbs and rice. I now mix the meat part of my diet between processed crap and good sausages from the butcher, I've recently gotten pre-prepared tripe and some cow bones, as I'm a Northern weirdo who likes it and makes the most lovely Polish style tripe soup from it.

Burgers really live and die on their fat content, to me. 20% fat from anywhere on the animal will work, but the traditional shoulder and top/silverside blend you can't really go wrong with.

While I don't doubt a bit of offal in there for flavour is pretty good, I question the claim that it is common practice at any level of the industry. The "best" burger to me is nothing but minced beef, salt and pepper. Binders change the texture too much and again, with 20% fat, the flavour is always going to be there.

Food poisoning is a lot rarer than people think.

The usual suspect is e. coli, because it's a hardy little bastard, but things like camp and salmonella are actually vanishingly rare these days. Camp is so piss weak and fussy of an organism that we often fail to grow it in the lab under ideal conditions, so unless you're licking a roadkill pigeon carcass I really struggle to imagine how people manage to become infected with it.

This is why I always go with 1 star hygeine rating takeaways. All the built up grease on the hotplate they haven't wiped down in 16 years is what gives it the flavour.

Not in the consumer market, but heart is a very common ingredient in catering products. A beef burger patty is only required to contain 62% meat and an "economy burger" can contain as little as 47% meat.

I can't say I've ever come across a catering burger full of heart, but then again, I've never worked in a food van. My assumption would be that the non-meat portion would be mostly bread crumbs, which are cheaper even than heart or other offal.

I'm not trying to say I don't believe you, I'm sure you're right, I'm just curious as to where you've been that this is so common.

Go into any cash and carry, find the cheapest box of burgers and have a look at the ingredients list. Odds are that beef heart is fairly high up the list. Rusk is an important bulking agent, but you can't use nearly as much as you could in a sausage without ruining the texture. The really cheap non-halal burgers include a fair amount of pork and mechanically reclaimed chicken.

I think the main culprit (apart from people not washing their hands and equipment after handling raw meat), is those people who insist that a chicken has to be washed under the tap before you cook it.

No. The one challenge with steel/glass tables is that they are very uncomfortable to sit at though. By all means use them for worktops, but metal/glass is much too cold for your arms to rest on. It's why all those people who have fancy glass desks at work are actually twats, they're almost impossible to sit and type at.

Today I have tried Aldi's vegan steak bake.

It was missing a kick, possibly a bit of black pepper would have done the trick, so it was a bit like eating slightly bland gravy lava with barely discernable chunks of soya protein and onion in it. The filling isn't evenly distributed so around a third of the pasty is biting into hollow pastry.

I reviewed that before, probably in a different thread. I wasn't keen on it, although I'd rate it higher than the Aldi one, but I wasn't overly surprised by this as Quorn mince, especially the kind they use in ready meals, is shite.

Today I have tried Tofoo sage and onion sizzlers, sausages to me and you. The tagline is 'tofu with taste' but this is a grave misnomer; there was a vague hint of sage and onion but it was largely eating nothingness. The texture had no integrity and it falls apart in your mouth the moment you bite into it.

Usual price is £3 for 4 sausages in Waitrose, but Co-op sometimes have them on offer for £2.50.

Appreciate this review. They make pretty good plain/smoked tofu, it must be said - particularly if you press it properly. I don't particularly love their other products that I've tried though.

Taste-wise, strongly recommend. It's in the meat aisle in Tesco's, which is a bit confusing. The burgers are excellent!

I've been into these lately, and they are peng AF, as I believe the kids would say.

They manage to achieve an impressively robust crunch, without the kind of splintering, and sticking in your gums like Doritos or Kettle Chips. The flavouring is an ideal level of spice intensity for a crisp- It's tangy and punchy enough to be moreish, without building too much of a serious heat if you indulge in an extended munch. They'd be an excellent accompaniment to a light alcoholic beverage, but you don't feel compelled to quench your thirst during eating. The back of the pack appears to recommend salsa, but honestly I don't see it being necessary, nor particularly enhancing the experience.

Overall I would recommend these if you are shopping for a large bag of crisps in the £1-£2 segment. A year ago they could be found on introductory offers, but now you will have to keep your eye out for the weekly rotation to catch them for £1. I daresay they may even have supplanted the Walker's Sensation Peking Spare Rib Oriental Cracker as my premium crisp of choice.

I was very impressed. They aren't exactly the same recipe as a Greggs vegan roll, which I am missing terribly to be honest - slightly less fat in the pastry, but still very good indeed; flaky and light. The sausage part could do with a touch more filling, but overall, good eating.

Of course you can - and there are definitely some more elaborate pizza recipes that don't have any cheese.

But some of the vegan cheeses actually melt and have the right level of "goo" when cooked, now - particularly the Pizza Express in-restaurant ones (I suspect its a lot to do with their ovens, but also because the melting-cheese recipes are just getting a lot better).

I don't mind veg-sweets but there is a noticeable difference in texture. That doesn't have to be a bad thing if its something juicy like Percy Pig but it's much more chewy, like an edible gum.

If you fancy a cunt-off then think its fucked that vegan options have become much more numerous than gluten free.

The older I get, the less tolerance for spicy food I have. Crystal hot sauce once tasted too bland and vinegary, but now it tastes alright. Plus, an almost half-litre bottle is £2.20 in my local Arab sklep, which is a bargain.

Today I have tried tried Aldi's 'no chicken' nuggets, which are part of their Plant Menu range.

When I broke into the first one I got the unmistakable whiff of a chicken nugget. The first bite tasted vaguely like a chicken nugget, but then it was... nothingness. The rest didn't taste of anything; it was just biting into warm nothingness entombed in breadcrumbs.

I wouldn't recommend these.

Today I have tried the Unbelievabull Burger by The Vegetarian Butcher. It has a pleasant amount of depth and richness to it, considerably better than the ones they make for Burger King. The only drawback is the price; you're usually looking at around £3, possibly a bit more, for a couple of them. I wouldn't say one of these is three times better than a Linda McCartney mozzarella burger.

Last night I made some dirty barbecue burgers for me and the Mrs. Hers were veggie with Richmond non-meat burgers. Mine were meat with Morrison's "Ultimate Burger".

I have to hand it to Morrison's. Those burgers were juicy and tremendously flavoursome. It was a real rich, beefy flavour which you often simply don't get in burgers, even gourmet ones. The texture wasn't perfect, but I don't think I ever will find a burger that satisfies me in that regard.

I tried a bite of the Richmond meatless ones, and they weren't half bad actually. Definitely didn't taste quite like a burger, but the texture was surprisingly good. They could do with being bigger though.

For a topping, I fried some diced onions, along with some Linda McCartney meat-free hoi-sin shredded duck. When it was close to done I put a big dollop of Reggae Reggae sauce in to caramelise. I know this sounds like an odd combination, but the richness of the hoi-sin flavouring really goes with the jerk barbecue flavour, and makes a fantastic, near indistinguishable pulled pork substitute.

I'm convinced that the Ritter business model accounts for being nice but not giving you too much for your money. This is something at my age I consciously think about when venturing into the chocolate or, more commonly, pastry aisle when I feel I've earned a treat.

If I buy something nice that is in large quantity then I will stuff it in my face in one sitting.
If I buy something okay but in large quantity then it has a chance of sitting in the cupboard for a bit. Like ginger biscuits as opposed to chocolate hobnobs.

So there you have it, ginger biscuits and Ritter Sport, good for you.

These (>>13885) were surprisingly nice. I assumed from the packaging that they came with a bit of sauce but instead it was just chunks in a 'curry marinade' that seemed more-or-less be korma paste.

I don't know why I still get excited over novelty cereal. The Sainsburys offering seems to have a good crunch but tastes exactly the same as the last years Christmas tree cereal i.e. slightly bitter cardboard. This just takes away the magic and probably leads to horrible workplace moral.

When you said pie there I was thinking of an actual pie and was trying to visualize a hot-dog stuffed pie crust. Would there just be a single circumference of hot dog or multiple rings? If single, would the ring be at the top of the bottom? Perhaps there's some sort of sliced hot-dog meshwork throughout the pastry like a kind of atherosclerotic reinforced culinary concrete.

Altough, authentic east-asian flavours in traditional English pie form would be kind of interesting.

When I lived in Shanghai there was only one pie shop in the entire city and Brits would flock from miles around and fight each other for the pies. And the pies were only 'just ok' compared to Western fair.

"Heston salt beef pretzel sub" from Waitrose. Salt beef, sliced gherkins, emmental cheese, mayonnaise, and weak American mustard. On paper it doesn't sound like a particularly good combination, but it works. It's a supermarket sandwich that's actually tasty and doesn't come across as something you've resigned yourself to buy because you need a cheap and quick meal. I think I would go so far as to say it's the best supermarket sandwich I've ever tried.

I'd call this a quick Veganuary update, but some of these are vegetarian:

Sainsbury's goats cheese and caramelised onion pies were really nice but there was hardly any onion in them. These might have already been cleared out as they were reduced Christmas fodder.

Lidl's vegan sausage rolls were alright. I'd have them again.

Lidl's vegan pasties were shit.

I don't think Aldi are doing much for Veganuary as they already have a decent vegan range, but I'll look to try their meat-free sausages and meatballs when I get the chance.

I had some Co-Op sausages last night; they were fucking aweful. Irresistable brand, apple&something and 'caramelised onion' flavoured. 74% pork. They might have been alright had I not eaten 9 - they couldn't have been that bad after all but the sweetness of the onion and apple made me feel sick.

Perhaps he's referring to the etymological root. In any case, a sausage that's only 74% pork does not deserve the 'Irresistible' tag. Personally I won't get out of bed for a sausage that isn't 90% pure.

14086 Sizzl'n Medium Kickin' Sour Cream Pringles
snapshotimagehandler_1778664628.jpg
140861408614086
I'm not super keen on all the seppo style apostrophe abbreviatin' used in the marketing of this but give me a souped up version of a classic flavour crisp in a black bag and I'm on board to dip my toe in at least (see also: Walkers Max)

Sour Cream is the most staple Pringles flavour and as a result is perhaps the most overlooked other than plain. These crisps have a good amount of dust and have the same basic flavour profile of their forebear and looking at the ingredients it seems like they're using the standard dust supplemented with chili extract. The structure of the crisp is springy and brittle and calls to mind eating Cheese & Onion Discos in the playground in the 90s.

One would find these pair well with a sour cream and chive dip, or perhaps garlic, if looking to soften the heat. Otherwise a spicy salsa, or even some sriracha would work well to enhance the spice component of the snack.

They would pair well with mature gouda and Mexicana cheese and Reisling wine.

I placed several of these on a sandwich with Emmental cheese and coronation chicken and was promptly sent on a day trip to flavourtown.

Tried a couple of Aldi's Plant Menu sausages:

- The "veggie sausages" with black pepper and sage taste alright, but they're mostly chickpea so they've got dryness and texture like a falafel.

- The "meat-free sausages" are nice and have a porky taste to them. I'd rate them above the Richmond equivalent.

I've also got their butternut and tomato sausages and their knock-off Linda McCartney rosemary and red onion ones to have at some point.

Today I have tried salt and vinegar Quavers. The first thing that concerned me was, when I opened the packet, I got a whiff of what smelled like boiled eggs that have been sat around for a while rather than anything resembling salt and vinegar. They don't really taste of anything. You get that acidic vinegar tang in your mouth but there's not much going on in the way of flavour. It was like eating a packet of stale Quavers that still had their crunch to them.

Iceland had ostrich burgers going cheap so I just had one. If you served it to me and told me it was beef, I'd have believed you -- I know the spices make the taste of a burger as much as the meat but it just had that beefy taste and smell.

Its incredible leanness makes really dry and waxy though, my mouth still feels like it's coated in wax, and I ended up slathering butter and burger relish on the bun which offset just how low-calorie they are.

Back to burgers: I just ordered some of these, I remember having these (or something similar) when I was a younglad in the '90s and can't remember if I liked them or not. Hoping they've got that proper dirty roadside burger taste to them as I've been craving something processed of late.
In any case, I would still like to pin my colours to the mast of dirty burgers being equally valid to premium butcher's own mixes. Walking about a Sunday market in the before times was always markedly improved by wolfing down a £3 catering grade burger. In the same situation, I really don't think eating a premium burger done medium rare and served in a brioche bun, dripping its juices down my front and however nice it may be, would do. Different times, different places, different burgers.

Does anybody have a favourite cheap, dirty and commercially available burger?

Bigos is awesome, you just have to cook it yourself with 2 types of cured sausage, beef, chicken, loads of marjoram, garlic, beer, tomatoes, apples, juniper berries, pepper etc. etc. The jars are okay in a pinch, and those empty Pamapol jars are great.

Not otherlad but carbon footprint is bollocks, because it means nothing unless you can somehow shape consumer trends so powerfully that near enough everyone in the entire country is eating lentils or whatever. Without that it's entirely academic.

There are other areas where a more direct impact on carbon emissions is possible without shifting the blame to consumers and then using magical thinking to expect it to help.

Strange thing, actually, whenever I hear someone bring up the fact vast tracts of land across the world are being transformed and cultivated for soya monoculture, the blame for this is higher demand on soya for vegetarianism and not the vastly more inefficient production of meat with the soya as fodder, not food, which is clearly more wasteful and prone to greenhouse gas emissions.

Yes? And? It's not the processing or the transport of the final product that's the issue. It's the land, water and cost of creating the calories for the cattle to feed on. You can grow, slaughter and eat your own cows if you want but if you're doing it on a regular basis then the various requirements of feeding and keeping the thing alive grow massively.

The point of that argument is that you're blaming the choices of individuals to eat a particular type of meat rather than the system that offers them very little in terms of viable alternative choices.

This is a pathetic excuse for inaction, particularly in this case. There's an entire aisle of viable alternatives in any major supermarket. Reducing your meat intake or going vegetarian or vegan is ludicrously easy.

"The system doesn't offer viable choices" might just about hold for transport or heating, but food is the one area where it's cheaper and better for you to make sustainable choices.

79% of the UK public identify as meat eaters (this is an understatement since 9% are "flexitarian" or "semi-vegetarian" but whatever, let's take 79%.) That's 52,653,500 people. One person is thus 0.00000002% (rounded) of the UK's meat eating population. For an illustration of how tiny an impact that is: you have a 0.000002% chance of being hit by lightning and a 0.000000071% chance of winning the lottery. One person's choices mean nothing at this scale. The only sane thing to do is to round to zero.
"Ah, but if we all acted--!" yes, well we don't all act in concert because we're not fucking ants. Unless you've got some impressive mechanism for collective action like some kind of food eater's trade union, bugger off.

Eat whatever you like, but don't pretend that you're making a difference. Saving the planet from disaster is a regulatory matter, not a voluntary one.

Now shut up and post food reviews.

> you're just shooting yourself or your own genes in the foot.
When the third world war comes, the meat-eaters shall fight true and strong, full of meaty-power. The vegetarians will surrender immediately and be slaughtered by the Chinese. And when the war is over, the meat-eaters will celebrate by killing the fatted calf, and live happily ever after, passing on their genes as they do so. The end.

Japanese style/coated peanuts are one of the finest snacks going. I have to be in a particular mood to sit and eat a whole bag of nuts, but these Shalimar ones are too moreish. The tandoori ones are by far the tastiest.

I know a lot of Japanese snacks are something people giggle at because of their strange looking flavour combinations, but they absolutely got snacking nuts right.

Your vote is something like 1/72,200 (0.000014%, several orders of magnitude greater) and takes place on a single day where every adult in the country is at least expected to go out and make a conscious decision about who to vote for in a ballot which cannot be altered after the fact. It is in no way comparable to "voting" with your wallet in a chaotic marketplace where a billion decisions are being taken or not taken every second and the seller is always trying to undermine your "vote". (Oh, you "voted" against buying the chicken? Well, we'll mark down the price 10% and someone else will "vote" for it now they can afford it. Democracy in action!)

Had some Korean fried chicken with rice and curry. The fried chicken was far superior (in terms of skin crunch and chicken flavour) to almost every other normal fried chicken shop I've been to (Chester's excepted), but it ought to be at about twice the price. Also far less greasy and oily than most normal fried chicken.

The curry was almost like chip shop curry, and went well as both a rice covering and dipping sauce. Would never really have thought to combine the two before, but would recommend.

I wasn't so keen on the radish pieces.

Those cubes are too small, a correct piece of pickle should be no smaller than 1" x 1" x 1". These cubic centimetre pickles are what they serve up in oz also and don't have enough mass to get a good pop when you bite into them which is a big part of what's good about the mouthfeel.

Looks very similar to Karaage, the Japanese version of fried chicken. From the colour of the batter I'd guess like the japs, they're using a starch instead of flour. With Karaage it's typically just potato starch and egg, but this isn't too far off. That's why it's not oily, pure starch doesn't absorb fat in the same way.

These were a disappointment. The 'ruby' chocolate is essentially softer white chocolate, so it didn't have that satisfying crunch when you bite into it. There also wasn't enough raspberry sauce in the ice cream.

It also didn't help that these were four for a quid in Farmfoods but it scanned in as a chocolate cream tart and I was charged £1.99 for them.

Long as it's black you don't have much to worry about. At worst it's some trouble further up the digestive system like an ulcer but medication, supplements and some foods will cause it. Bright red is where you have to worry.

I think you have that the wrong way round lad. Bright red is usually a haemorrhoid or anal fissure (although it can be colon cancer), black is anything from an ulcer to stomach / bowel cancer.

Also a fan of her nuggets, it's just to exorbitant markup that puts me off.
I don't imagine it's hard to replicate the vague taste/texture of rigorously processed meat, which is probably why nugs are leading. I had a Beyond burger the other day, fried on the skillet, and it was alright, but it tasted like someone had fried it with cleaning fluid instead of oil. I'm not sure if this is the fault of my lass or the company itself. I'm assuming the latter tbf.

I've replaced biscuits with salt and black pepper crackers without using any cheese. They have quite a nice little peppery pinch to them and I don't feel the urge the snaffle the whole box.

Not tried dunking them in tea because then I'd only end up with a salty cuppa.

"Snacking cheese" as a concept doesn't seem like a habit of someone who wants to live long. I'm not really sure what to make of these. They're not even slightly moreish, just pleasant to be able to try one or two to find out what they taste like. As a vegetarian replacement for pork scratchings they fail.
Very strong truffle flavour though.

I don't wish to overshadow your cheese opinions with my own. However, I don't think XXXtreme Mature Cheddar is very good. It ought to be renamed something like "Smoker's Cheddar", so people with blown out taste buds know what to go for.

From what I can gather, Quorn is named after the Quorn Specialities Company from Leicester, which had a foxhound as its key branding because it was named after the Quorn Hunt in the nearby village of Quorn. The Quorn Specialities Company were taken over by a number of companies, eventually ending up as part of Rank Hovis who developed mycoprotein and decided to name it after the Quorn Specialities Company despite what we know as Quorn today having nothing to do with the village of Quorn in its ~35 year history as it was developed in Marlow in Buckinghamshire and its factories are in North Yorkshire and Stockton-on-Tees.

People go vegan for a variety of reasons. I can understand that some people would enjoy having meatballs or sausage rolls that taste a bit weird with the trade-off that they didn't come from the death of an animal.

With your 'squid' for example, it's just unwieldy to call or 'textured vegetable protein in the style of squid'.

Almost nobody is quitting meat because they think meat's taste or texture is bad. So it makes sense to attempt to replicate those tastes and textures in vegan/veggie form.

Also, it's just the majority of people's jumping off point. I imagine there's a lot fewer fake sausage brands somewhere with a large buddhist population, where the food culture was never meat based to begin with. But in britain, you'd have to struggle to find someone whose idea of food was not centred around meat and two veg.

Perhaps leaning into actual veggie cuisine would be more interesting, but it's just never going to sell as well as soysages.

Seeing as we're on about veggies:-

>The Co-operative Group is slashing the price of its plant-based burgers and sausages to push back against the “unfair” price of vegan food. Consumers trying to reduce or give up meat often complain alt-meat is more expensive than buying the real thing. To that end the Co-op is making a seven figure investment in its vegan range Gro with some products, including burgers and sausages, more than halving in price to bring them into line with the meat-based equivalent sold in its 2,600 stores.

>Eating plant-based food “shouldn’t cost you more money” said Jo Whitfield, the Co-op Food chief executive, of the move which is part of its bigger plan to reach net zero emissions by 2040. “It’s an industry-wide standard that plant-based alternatives are usually priced higher than their meat and dairy counterparts … this disparity is unfair to those following vegetarian, vegan and flexitarian diets.”

>The reductions in the Gro range include vegan sausages down from £3 to £1.45 and the price of meat-free burgers slashed from £3.00 to £1.35. Meat-free mince is now £1.75 rather than £3.00. The reductions could save a family choosing vegan alternatives more than a hundred pounds a year, the Co-op said.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/may/05/co-op-slashes-the-price-of-plant-based-food-in-quest-for-net-zero-emissions

They're slashing the price of their plant based range and the reason they're doing so is for environmental reasons rather than to do with the ethics of eating animals. If they can reduce prices by more than half and still make a profit it shows how they've been absolutely rinsing people until now.

>If they can reduce prices by more than half and still make a profit it shows how they've been absolutely rinsing people until now.

Possibly (probably) but there's another factor, economies of scale. It could be that they now sell enough plant based food to be able to make more of it at a time, which makes it cheaper. If previously they were chucking 50% of their stock out as it expired, then they'd have to mark the prices up a lot more than the bacon that flies off the shelves. The other possibility is that they still don't sell much of the stuff, and the price drop is either not profitable or barely profitable, in an attempt to sell more and thus end up solving the economy of scale problem from the consumer end first.

Or, you're right, they just assumed vegans are rich and knew they'd pay eight quid for a burger.

The thing that gets me about so much meat/dairy alternative stuff is that is seems to be marketed in a 'super hip and cool sticking it to the man' way, but as filtered through the lens of a 43-year-old marketing executive named Steve.

Does anyone truly believe they are participating in a counterculture by buying textured soy protein from Iceland?

Also, had a piri-piri chicken and jollof rice ready meal from Asda and it was surprisingly good - the chicken wasn't dry at all and semed to have been marinated properly.

I've noticed that over the last three years, the kebab shops near me have changed the hot chilli sauce they use. It used to be that slightly sweet (but not sweet chilli sauce sweet), quite pungent flavour, works well alongside mint yoghurt sauce. But now they usually use cheap peri peri sauce, which is too fruity compared to the old sauce, and completely ruins the flavour.

The meat Fray Bentos products aren't much better. Indeed, "meat" isn't really what you get because there's about 10 grams of it in every pie, a pint of gravy and some mediocre pastry on top of it. I'm probably overselling the pastry too as I'm mad for all but the worst examples of the stuff.

Steak and Ale Fray Bentos is very much a comfort food for me. Dirty, greasy, almost certainly incredibly unhealthy, but it just triggers those dopamine centres that light up when you eat something irresponsibly fatty and salty.

Yesterday, I tried to cook some of it and just hacked a bunch of chunks off the side and threw away anything that looked or felt like a skeleton. I still have half the fish left, and I have no idea what I'm doing. Before I butcher it further, does anyone here have any recommendations?

You know that if you cook fish, the flesh comes off the bones and skin really easily?
Stick it under a grill, maybe with some kind of sauce, or just butter.
Cook the head to save bothering to lop it off, don't eat it
Peel the skin off, eat the flesh off the bones. Flip and repeat (except you can't because you already ate that side)
(Most) fish responds well to simple cooking.

I wondered if that would work, but when I buy a fish that's been filleted, it often hasn't been cooked yet. Anyway, it's in foil, in the oven, head and fins and skin all still attached, and I'll see how this goes. Thank you very much for your help.

Official fish review! It's o-fish-al! Yes, just wrapping it in foil and putting it in the oven is great. Bones are not an issue, for anyone else wishing to attempt this. They're in there, but most of them are absolutely massive and there's no way you will eat one by mistake (for comparison, the full fish was about the size of a deflated rugby ball).

I remember reading about some guy who starving on a raft in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and all he had to eat was whichever fish he could catch, and he started to really love the eyes because they contain some vitamin or something that he was dying without. Fish eyes were his favourite food. For me, a fish eye is like eating a small piece of polystyrene. It was grim enough that I felt no urge to experiment with eating any other fish parts that weren't just usual fish meat.

All in all, I say go for it. However, some parts had been removed when I bought the fish, so be careful if you just catch one in a river or anything. Also, don't buy a massive fish like I did; aim for a smaller fish.

Enjoy your fish!
You can get more adventurous, or not, but the basics won't let you down.
You're right, the fish you bought had been gutted, which avoids them going manky really quickly.
Little fish, like sprats or whitebait, you don't bother gutting - just fry them in butter or oil, try hard to avoid overpacking the pan, do multiple batches if necessary, it's far better. Add excessive crunchy salt. Just peel the sides off like little fillets, they come off easily, and you've got a glorious, if messy, fishy salty buttery joy. Bowl of chips on the side, mug of wine, and you've got a meal of champions. And a bowl of spines which will make you wonder how many fishy souls you've just sent on their way. Or maybe that's just me.

I often thought about this as a seafood cheflad, When it came to mussels, oysters and crayfish I was certainly committing genocide, particularly the crayfish which we killed by ripping their arseholes out. We stopped serving those after we started working with a humane society.

>BK Impossible Whopper
They gave me a normal Whopper too which I didn't pay for so I can make an accurate comparison. It's not awful. At least, no more awful than any other BK offering. The experience of eating it feels much less like being a horrible fatty fat-fat but I'm guessing this is just an illusion. If you lied and told me it was meat I'd probably believe it without question. If for some reason I ever want to eat a Whopper again, I wouldn't feel like I was missing out on anything by getting the Impossible version.
Definitely better than the '90's-era plant... mush thing that Subway offer as their vegan option. What is that stuff, sweet potato and pea hash? Hate it.

Note: Cooked on the same grill as everything else so not really vegan. It's just that you're not paying to consume meat.

Today I've tried Papa John's for the first time. I'd say the pizza is like a Domino's but with a much worse sauce. Instead of fries or wedges they do 'tater tots' which are essentially a cross between hash browns and mini croquettes; they were nice and moreish but they don't really leave you feeling full and satisfied.

I prefer papajohns to dominos.
Much less greasy, the thin crusts seem to have slightly nicer bread. They're just generally more leaning towards having a bit of flavour from the toppings and herbs and spices rather than just masses of greasy cheese and salty meat.
Some of the sides are shite, but the bacon cheese sticks are quite nice, especially with the pizza sauce dip THAT THEY DONT GIVE YOU ANYMORE.

For anyone around the Stoke area I'd recommend to try out the local chain called Caprinos.

It's all so unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the dish. The carotene butter is basically extracting the fat-soluble compounds from the carrots. The carrot juice is extracting the water-soluble components. The centrifuge is OTT, you can make the butter by chilling the mix in the fridge over night, and fine cheesecloth could be employed to remove solids from the carrot juice.

It's mental to do all this prep though because in the final step, everything is being combined together in a homogeneous mixture. You're employing all these sophisticated chemistry techniques to separate components of the dish just to recombine them.

Caramelising the carrots in a pressure cooker with bicarb is a good idea. Coring the carrots prior to use to have a sweeter soup is also a good idea (but requires verification).

This recipe feels like it was created to make use of the centrifuge to justify the centrifuge expense after the fact.

No mention was made of what variety of carrots they are using. This would be super important given the lack of other ingredients employed.

Men.


But seriously, the patty and bun are the most important parts of a burger and I'll happily lose my weekend over this. 'Messy burgers' are an abomination that typically cover for substandard meat and bread which at any rate detract from the simple joy of a good burger.

Well, yeah, the wheels and the frame are the most important bit of my bike, but I don't want to miss out on the brakes, gears and seat.

Dumping a million things onto a burger, especially blue cheese which I feel like was really popular years ago, is a silly move. However, a bit of sliced lettuce and a thin bit of cheese is going to improve the burger a great deal. Probably, whatever; eat what you want. You're probably going to shout at me and start calling me a post-modernist because everyone on here has lost the plot this week.

Good, because while you're right, you're wrong. They are the most important parts, and I'm not suggesting 'messy burger', but there's a world of difference between a burger and some dry bread, and a burger, a slice of cheese, and a few slices of onion with some ketchup, for example.

Especially if it's a weird vegan burger.

The crispness of iceberg lettuce is unsurpassable as a burger topping. Rocket is fine in a salad, but on a burger it just turns into a limp, stringy mess.

See there's a wrong'ness to this. A good burger can stand on its own - by all means I'll have a salad to the side because I'm not an animal but anything else and you start detracting from that.

Ketchup especially as it's a sweet. You're not slicing a big tomato and using that because you're a sugar junkie. Why not just put ketchup between two buns and eat that, I bet you'd love it.

Today I've tried the family bucket by Absurd Vird, the vegan spin-off from Asburd Bird.

Six vegan chicken tenders (read: deep fried Quorn) as well as two vegan fried chicken burgers (read: deep fried Quorn fillets in a bun with lettuce and tomato, topped with a pitiful amount of barbecue sauce and shitloads of coleslaw). The burger combination didn't exactly work for me and it needed something a little on the punchy side to elevate it, plus the solitary Quorn fillet was a little on the stingy side; it was dwarfed by the rest of the burger.

Can't quite believe I'm saying this - but the best vegan takeaway "chicken" burger I've tried recently is the Vegan Royale from Burger King; way better than the KFC equivalent.

I've also tried the Imposter burger from Nandos which is notable because they use good bread and their sauces, but the pea protein chicken-pretend is a bit weird texture. Burger King are also doing plant-based whoppers, but they're cooked on the same grill as the meat ones, so not vegan.

Today I've tried Quorn spinach and red pepper slices. I liked them but everyone else in the house thinks they're disgusting. They taste, unsurprisingly, like red pepper and they're quite succulent.

The drawback is that they're ridiculously fragile and it's likely it will break apart when you try to take a slice.

I think I've finally found it, the most flavourless vegetarian meat substitute product out there; the Quorn pasty. The chilled collaboration with Ginsters, which they really should have named the Quornish pasty, might be alright but Quorn's own frozen version is fucking dire. I might have to leave one to cool for comparison, they're £1 for a box of two in Farmfoods at the minute, but it was just biting into warm mush that did not taste of anything.

They're fancy mozzarella sticks, essentially. I bought them because I got a coupon for them through the Lidl Plus app; they're not worth full price, especially as you only get about 10 in a packet.

You'd be better buying a block of halloumi, dipping them in batter and then rolling them in something like paprika before frying.

The texture is good, but I've had them thrice in different locations and they always taste like they've been cooked on a grill saturated with cleaning fluid. I feel like I'm eating a weird burger, so at least it's passed the most important threshold.

I'm not even sure they still have the Impossible Whopper, since they were cooking them on the same grill they used for the meat Whoppers and people kicked off it wasn't really vegan. I tried one right after they came out and it wasn't particularly impressive, but the big three of McDonalds, Burger King and KFC are the absolute bottom of the barrel over here in terms of food quality.

I git some Tony's Chocoloney milk chocolate, which I have heard good things about, and it's rubbish. Tastes like advent calendar chocolate, or Galaxy. I'd rather have a Dairy Milk, even after the Yanks fucked with the ingredients. It's certainly no Lindt or Thornton's.

Just another confirmation to my usual wisdom: Don't buy shite hipster products that sell themselves on being small companies that value ethical practices and such. I don't give a fuck how much you care about equality in the chocolate industry Tony, your chocolate is still shit.

The most annoying thing about Chocolonely is how they decided to make modern art instead of even and orderly pieces. You not only can't break it up properly but it also have corners that make it impossible to bite into.

This isn't good for the consumer and I can't imagine it's good for the manufacturing process.

The explanation is more annoying than the chocolate:

Why are your bars unevenly divided?

To us it doesn't make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into chunks of equal sizes when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unevenly sized chunks of our 180g bars are a nice way of reminding our choco friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unfairly divided.

I read that bit out to my missus on the train in a bored tone of voice, hypothesising that it's no coincidence that having to break off bigger chunks than I want to makes the chocolate go down faster, and thereby encourages me to buy more of it sooner. Hardly seizing the means of chocolate production here are we Tony, you fat hypocritical capitalist bastard.

So to summarise, I have concluded that this chocolate is for arseholes, and I shan't be buying it again.

What did you think would happen?

Corned beef is for sandwiches and frying as slabs (although spam is much better). Eaten when you're camping where you fry it first to get all the fat out and then do the eggs in the fat.

The only acceptable thing to do with corned beef is mix it with mashed potato and then baked until it goes nice and crispy on top.

I think this is one of those cultural confusions where all the "official" sources like recipe sites and the BBC et al, are middle class posho tossers who have no idea what the dish actually is in practice. Thus it gets repeated and the original gets erased, and people like ourselves end up confused and worried as if we've come from a Mandela dimension, when really it's just working class erasure.

>Carapils
This must be a joke. I grew up in Belgium, and that's how I've heard of Carapils. I don't know if it's well-known outside of Belgium, but I assume it isn't. Carapils was the absolute cheapest shitty lager from the absolute cheapest supermarket (Colruyt; it's amazing because it's basically a warehouse, like Costco except anyone can shop there). I remember some other expats formed an ironic "Carapils Appreciation Society" on Facebook back when ironic appreciation societies were all the rage probably 15 years ago. Someone pointed out that Carapils was so cheap and rank, that you could buy the standard Belgian crate of 24 small bottles for, I think, €1.97, which they helpfully contrasted with the existence of the €2 coin. You could buy a CRATE of Carapils for ONE COIN, and get change.

Advertising a beer as being similar to Carapils is like advertising a tobacco as being similar to newspaper, or advertising a wine as "vinegary". This Tony geezer must, MUST, be taking the piss.

Quite enjoyed these. They're like frankfurters but not quite as heart-cloyingly salty and don't have quite as much of the quality that leaves your teeth a strange texture. I just ate five with some mustard and don't feel grim like you would from eating five frankfurters.

The downside is that obviously the reason frankfurters have such a strong flavour is that you're supposed to eat them with other things so this would be a bit disappointing if you did.

I picked these up because Morrisons had them reduced as they are discontinuing them. I can't put my finger exactly on what they taste like, but it certainly isn't saag aloo. A bit falafely? Something vaguely familiar. The packaging also disguises how green they were.

They weren't bad but I wouldn't go out of my way to get them again, although I probably can't if they're no longer stocked anywhere. The Hi-Veg food I've tried, their Moroccan balls are fucking awful, tends to be cooked on the outside but a bit raw and mushy on the inside.

Nope. Burger King do, which is why they can't call the plant-based whopper "vegan" or even "vegetarian". The McPlant is handled and cooked separately from meat and dairy products, which is a) why it earned approval from the Vegetarian Society and b) why it's only available in a limited number of outlets.

It's probably fine, it's just onigiri with a spicy, crunchy coating. Crunchy (sometimes breaded/coated) onigri already exists in the form of yaki onigri, and it's also basically just arancini with chilli dust on it. The only part that makes it sound grotesque is that there's an american snack food involved, which is entirely understandably off-putting.

I bought this because I didn't pay full attention to what I was doing. I assumed "chip happens" referred to chocolate chips rather than what our septic friends call crisps.

This explains why it was reduced to 99p while all all the other tubs in Farmfoods were £1.99. Imagine biting into chocolate ice cream which has been mixed together with what's essentially mush that tastes like very salty Pringles.

Right, you've stumbled upon something here.

S&V Pringles go great with yoghurt, and I can only assume this extends to iced cream.

On the topic of salt and vinegar Pringles, does anyone else find that the flavouring they use is one of the most acrid kind of S&V flavouring on the market? It's almost on par with Discos.

Oof. Now those are punchy, it's less like a food flavouring and more like just like putting a corrosive chemical directly on your tongue. How do they manage it?

I love salt and vinegar me. I can't get enough when it's reyt strong, like having really spicy food only without the fuss of shitting yourself all day in the morning.

A little bit of generic sticky sweet chilli sauce coating some pretty dry mycoprotein. The gyoza do not cope any better with being microwaved than you'd expect. This 205g, 440kcal pack supposedly serves two.

Edible with some home made ponzu but if you actually enjoy this you could just get a bag of quorn pieces, dip them in off-the-shelf sauce and microwave them alongside some gyoza from the Asian supermarket for 1/15th of the price and it would be no less appetising.

I gave myself a tummyache :((((

Don't you just hate when spicy food says, "Warning! It's really spicy! Real spice heads only! We're not joking!" and then they are joking and it's not that spicy?

This is not one of those times. The Iceland Carolina Reaper microwave curry (not vegetarian or vegan; I'm a normal person) is FOUL. It is not especially nice, and doesn't have much by way of flavour, but they really are not kidding about the spiciness. It is very spicy. I ate one roughly four and a half hours ago and I am still in pain. I can feel it burning my insides. The capsaicin has mixed with any drinks I have since consumed in my stomach, and now even my piss burns. It's like eating a car battery. I didn't even eat the whole thing; I bought it at work and ran out of lunch hour with a quarter of it left, because it's such a challenge. I doubt even a deranged masochist would enjoy the physical discomfort, even if they enjoyed spending 40 minutes eating it in the first place. It's like trying to down a pint of boiling water.

I say all this as someone who does actually like spicy food. I like the challenge, and there's nothing wrong with enjoying a tasty dish of something that hurts to eat. And I have been let down so many times before, that I can't fully denounce something that actually lives up to its promises. But Seabrook's do some incredibly spicy crisps that are less spicy than this, but still take effort to eat, plus they have other flavours than heat. One of those big curry sauce companies (Sharwood's, possibly) does a Phal curry sauce that was tasty as well as painful. This Iceland curry has replaced all flavours with heat. There is, of course, also the very real possibility that at some point in the next 24 hours, I might poo my pants completely without warning, based on how I feel right now.

But like I say, lots of other allegedly spicy foods are disappointingly bland. This isn't. So I'd rate it, I dunno, 3/5?

The spiciest food I actually enjoy eating is these noodles, pic related. Any more than that and, while I can certainly tolerate it if I'm in some kind of macho spice-off situation, I'd say is definitely overbearing any potential for flavour the dish might have.

How does it compare to the very spicy noodles with the fire breathing chicken on on the pot, if the very spicy noodles with the fire breathing chicken on the pot are 1 on the scale? Please also put those scotch bonnet sausages my ex got once on the scale for a reference point.

I haven't eaten either of those, but I'd say the Iceland curry is roughly level with eating 1-2 scotch bonnets straight out of the packet in terms of heat. But scotch bonnets have a very distinctive flavour which makes you say, "Ah, I can taste scotch bonnets here." Even just eating a chilli on its own has a more complex bouquet on the palate than Iceland have managed here.

Tried a few more things.

Richmond meat-free bacon has that generic veggie bacon taste and cardboard like texture. It sort of looks like bacon, at least before you cook it, but that's the only real credit I can give it.

Richmond meat-free meatballs have that chip shop sausages taste I mentioned in >>14754, but a lot weaker. You've also got to decide between whether you want them properly cooked on the outside or properly cooked on the inside, they're a bit... squishy.

The Vegetarian Butcher Unbelievaballs were quite nice and I'd have them again. I wouldn't say they were as nice as the Linda McCartney meatballs but they're a close second.

I've been looking for decent vegan chocolate for a long time now, and I have to say Cadbury have genuinely put the work in and made something good. Without seeing the packaging you would think it's just milk chocolate. Aftertaste is noticeably different from the classic dairy milk, but still pleasant.

The replacement for the milk is almonds, which of course have their own environmental problems, so hopefully they'll keep working and change it to something else more sustainable in future.

Kingsfood is rapidly becoming my default choice of a treat I have when I finished a big piece of work. Yeah, you don't get much in one tin but they're so cheap you can buy two tins and still have change leftover compared to its rivals that'll sort lunch and dinner. It's also the lowest sugar option in a food sub-sector where many competitors are just taking the mick.

For the record, proper sausages aren't comparable. Those are for slicing in half and putting in burger baps with minimal dressing needed.

I picked these up as they were reduced to clear in Morrisons. They are essentially the tofu equivalent of fish fingers but, as it's tofu, they're quite bland so you'll be soon bored of them after having a couple. They do have a bit of flavouring, there's the likes of turmeric, paprika and garlic powder thrown in so it tastes vaguely like biting into a chicken kiev but not enough to longer.

>Burger King UK is to launch vegan nuggets nationwide from Wednesday as the fast food chain evolves its meat-focused menu to cash in on the booming popularity of plant-based diets.

>The chain, which two years ago launched a plant-based Rebel Whopper burger that turned out not to be suitable for vegans because it was cooked on the same grill as meat, is the first major fast-food operator in the UK to offer an animal-product-free version of nuggets. The company says the product, which has been developed by The Vegetarian Butcher and certified by the Vegan Society, is made from soy and plant proteins only and tastes the same as its meat originals.

>Burger King, which last year launched a Vegan Royale burger that is prepared separately from animal products, aims to make half of its menu meat-free by 2030 to help it achieve a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 41%.

Today I have tried Ginsters 'Bombay' spinach and potato pasty.

For a vegan pasty the pastry didn't actually disintegrate and there was plenty of filling inside it. However, it didn't taste like either Bombay potatoes or saag aloo. It had a weird chilli sauce mixed with cumin that brought heat and a vague semblance of Indian food, but very little in the way of actual flavour.

I wouldn't get these again.

About a year ago I discovered I actually quite like coffee. I've tried enough different things to know what's 'good' and what's 'bad' and the types I like. I can tell my Greggs from my independent shop anyway, but I'm not an expert.

I don't really like my home made coffee because it doesn't taste the same, until I got an offer and bought some of the pic related. They taste great and I just add water and stir. It's not quite as good as one from an independent shop, but it's pretty close and perfectly satisfactory considering they're about 15p a sachet vs 3 quid a takeaway cappucino/latte.

What's the catch? Am I actually just not a coffee aficionado at all and any old junk will do for my tastebuds or are instant latte packs just that advanced and good? This is a genuine question by the way.

I'm trying to overcome my fear of crisps, so have tried two different types in the last few days. Flamin' Hot Monster Munch, nice taste, horrible mouth feel. Gets all claggy and stuck in hard to reach places of the mouth. I know they do Flamin' Hot regular crisps, but nowhere near me stocks them. Today I tried Nik-Naks Nice 'n' Spicy. Rank. Okay mouthfeel and texture, but the flavour was implaceable. Perhaps that's why Nik-Naks are sort of a third tier crisp.

You might enjoy the "posher" crisp varieties. Forgot the brand names, but generally the thicker crisps or ones made out of bigger slices of potato (sometimes other veg like beetroot) are fine, they've usually got just a bit of salt on them.

Generally, though, I don't like crisps. The loud rustling bags, the fact they're mostly empty, the lack of nutritional value, the way the flavouring and oiliness sticks to your fingers.

I've had purple carrot and broccoli bites shoved at the back of the freezer for well over a year, so I decided to bite the bullet and finally have them.

They're weird. Almost everything about them is weird. They look weird when you're taking them out of the oven. They look weird when they're sat on your plate. The only really good thing is the texture of crumb coating, which was satisfyingly crunchy. The filling is a mixture of broccoli and potato flakes; it doesn't feel biting into a ball of broccoli or a ball of mash potato, it's a weird hybrid of nothingness in between. I've just eaten them and I can barely remember what they tasted like, it wasn't good or bad it was just weird; all I can really recall is the texture and the feeling of biting into the crunchy coating.

These taste good, but maybe not as great as the ones from an actual Greggs. The pastry seems like shortcrust and is a bit dense, whereas the ones from an actual shop seem like proper puff pastry.

Maybe it's the way I am cooking them (or the clever ovens Greggs have?)

First McDonalds in over twenty years.

On the plus side:
It tastes and smells like a McDonalds.

On the minus side:
It tastes and smells like a McDonalds.
The burger is BeyondMeat, but a much thinner patty than others use.
The cheese they're using doesn't really melt.
It was cold, as were the chips.
A bit dry, needed more sauce.

Having now tried KFC, Burger King and McDonalds for the first time in over two decades, I can confirm that the Burger King Vegan Royale is something I could happily eat every day, sober. The others are more of a drunk/desperate/hungover thing. Nice to have a proper choice of junk-food though.

These smelled worryingly like cat food before they were cooked but ended up quite nice. They could do with being a little firmer but they were juicy.

I'd say they're the closest knock-off I've had to Beyond Meat. They're nowhere near as nice, but at £1.75 for two in Tesco they were a lot cheaper.

Tesco had a "plant based all-day breakfast" sandwhich available for their meal deal so I gave it a punt. Pea-protein sausage "coins" and some kind of faux-mayo but honestly if I hadn't known I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. Perhaps a little less greasy and a little drier but otherwise tasted just like the garbage they put in the animal based version.

This is certainly passable as deli meat. It went fine in a sandwich with a few other ingredients, but I'd imagine it'd get boring quite fast on its own.

Worth remembering that green chili peppers don't have a lot of flavour as it is. As somebody who grows his own chillies, most of the flavour really doesn't develop until your peppers turn red. The pickled green jalapenos you can buy have been in a jar full of vinegar, salt, sugar and spices for weeks to give them their taste.

Go down to your Asian supermarket next time and get some red sweet chili sauce. The place here locally has 750ml bottles of the stuff for 99p. With slightly dodgy looking branding, but you get what you pay for. Very tasty, goes with almost anything.

On the vegan note, Aldi's seems to have expanded it's faux-meat freezer offering in the last few months. It's hit or miss and reconfirms that bad imitations of meat are worse than genuinely good vegan food. None of them stood out as being cheaper alternatives, which didn't help, especially the products with no fancy new meat substitute I would've expected to save a few pennies over their cheap meat alternatives.

"Peri Peri No-Chicken Fillets": dire, I was expecting seitan or at least a definable shape but it was just a vaguely spiced oddly chewy veg burger in a funky shape.

"No-Beef Pies": fine. Pastry is very good but filling is worse than even a dried up Pukka that's been under the heat lamp too long, but perfectly edible if you don't expect otherwise.

"No-Meat hotdogs": fine but not worth your time. Richmond vegan sausages are better, cheaper, and also freeze. And those are bottom of the barrel.

No idea if they didn't sell or sold out, but they also had:

Burgers for a while which were decent (consistency was some kind of beyond/impossible style). With some condiments an some veg in a bun they did admirably.

"No-Chicken" nuggets (e.g. "No-Chicken Dino Bites") which are great. Slightly drier than proper greasy chicken shapes but otherwise close to indistinguishable from reclaimed meat nuggets.

I watched him for a while as I recognised basically everywhere he went in Leeds, but like you say, him just saying "this is dead nice" over and over isn't the best. I'd very happily have that sort of discussion in real life, but watching it is a bit much.

Another criticism is that his titles and descriptions make it hard if not impossible to find a specific review. If you want to know what he thinks of Popino's you can't just search his channel for the name, you'd have to put in 'breakfast' and hope you recognised the backdrop in the thumbnail.

"Biscuits and gravy" is easily the most disappointing thing you can get if you don't know what to expect. Sure, you may have heard that "buiscuits" are some doughy contraption, but the "gravy" is just an insult to all that is holy. The combination is like gruel and slurry, some kind of subsistence food you'd inflict on people in the end times.

Other than the odd 7% real ale you can get from any supermarket, and the 8.5% K Cider/Special Brew/Super Skol from the offy, I find that the strongest beers that are readily available are from craft breweries.

It's not just placebo. Nucleation etching on the bottom of the glass changes the rate of bubble formation, the stability of the head and the perception of creaminess in nitro beer or of sharpness in carbonated beer. The surface area and shape of the rim affects evaporation and the retention of volatile vapour, which in turn affects the bouquet - IPAs taste hoppier in a tulip, lagers taste more crisp in a thin glass.

There's a lot of branding and bumwaffle, but that doesn't invalidate the very real science. Serving beer in the wrong kind of glass is like serving it at the wrong temperature or with the wrong amount of gas - it doesn't change the molecular composition of the liquid, but it radically changes the taste of the beer.

>without the bloated feeling you get from lower strength beer

I made a point to ask about this but keep forgetting; I find certain drinks incredibly gassy and a few months back drank some light swill that felt like I'd been inflated like a balloon after one pint. Probably doesn't help that I have bad guts so alcohol in general is bad but it was awful and ruined a night.

What's a good drink to go for? I used to drink whiskey but I've gone off of it over the years. I've found ales to be pretty good in the past but that was always copying the orders of whoever I was drinking with so I can't remember any brands.

I'm drinking lower strength ales right now and I'm not feeling particularly bloated, nor am I getting the heartburn or "rotgut" kind of feeling I get if I'm too polite/thirsty to turn away something like Stella.

I would guess there's some sort of digestive fuckery going on in terms of the way ale is brewed vs lager.

>"Ales are fermented with top-fermenting yeast at warm temperatures (60˚–70˚F), and lagers are fermented with bottom-fermenting yeast at cold temperatures (35˚–50˚F)."

Maybe it's just that ales are less acidic than lager. Many English brewers have started using American hops which seem to make even ales quite fruity and acidic, but I've personally had better luck with breweries that stick with English hops, like Fullers. Whoda thunk that it'd be a megacity brewer that'd maintain tradition. True English hops for true English drinkers.

I tried two drinks today.

The first was P.O.P. Soda Citizen Cola. A non-alcoholic cola from Brewdog. Tastes like fizzy cola bottles, with a disgusting aftertaste I can't quite put my finger on. Bitterness maybe? Uses beet sugar instead of cane sugar or artifical sweeteners, but it's just dreadful.

The second was Dragon Soop Mango Pink Lemonade. Very easy to drink, light and coconutty. Caffeine, taurine AND 7.5% volume! Dangerous.

I've just tried Aldi's knock-off Twix, the Jive bar. It's roughly 80% the length of a Twix and the inside has more caramel and less shortbread so it wasn't as firm as I was expecting as I bit into it. The chocolate also had a slightly low quality twang to it.

In future I'll stick to the knock off Snickers and Mars bars instead.

This stuff is grim. I was confused when I bought it - why "ShandyAde", not "Shandy"? From what I can gather from the ingredients, there is no beer in it, it's just flavoured to taste like there's beer in it.

I see that you're inexperienced with Burger King. What you need to do is look at the specials to get the value and remember that a meal will be quite satiating compared to Maccies so you don't need to mess about with additions.

Tyson Fury has released a range of energy drinks at Iceland. They're surprisingly good. The Original flavour tasted like generic energy drink, not interesting. Black & Blue Raspberry was a better take on blue raspberry than Reign or Rockstar, quite sour (which I like) but a light, easy drink. Sour Cherry Knockout, again, quite sour, but of all the cherry energy drinks I've had, this is the best. Not sickly sweet. I have Sour Apple Punch in my fridge, but I am putting that one off as I rarely like artificial apple flavour. Also of note, a 500ml can has 22g of sugar in. In comparison, a 500ml can of regular Monster has about 55g. I'm not paid by Tyson Fury to shill his products, I am just genuinely blown away by the quality of his product.

These are almost certainly already in the thread somewhere, since you're all vegan hippies, but anyway.

Typically, I can't really tell the difference between a gelatin based or plant based gummy sweet, they both have a basically identical consistency. But this brand has, I assume deliberately, gone with a different texture entirely, and I find it deeply pleasing. It's very toothsome, I don't know if I can really describe the texture better than saying it's like an al dente York Fruit.

I predict everyone else will pile in to say how much they hate them, but for me it's the exact perfect mouthfeel for a gummy sweet. The flavour is fine, maybe they lean too heavily on grapefruit for their sour flavours, but the non-sour gummy bears are probably their best all-rounders.

Fruit Pastilles are noticably less chewy since changing to a vegan recipe. They also melt a lot faster, and the flavour feels a bit more intense, like undiluted cordial. This is from the type of person who eats a 4 pack in one sitting, though, so if you have self control you probably wouldn't notice.

There's a springy quality to gelatine sweets that nobody has managed to replicate. Gelatine sweets tend to give a little before breaking apart, but the vegan ones just squish. Fruit Pastilles are fairly passable, but vegan Fruit Gums or Starmix wouldn't work at all.

I'm starting to think I should pay more for eggs. Picked these up because they were reduced and, even though the box says they're medium, they're much larger than supermarket own-brand eggs and they had a rather nice large and slightly orange yolk.

They are definitely one of the staples that are worth splashing the cash on. Having said that, I have found that lidl have perhaps the best "cheap" free range eggs, their yolks are lovely and golden. Though maybe they just feed their hens a load of paprika, who knows.

The intensity of an egg yolk's colour does come from carotin. If you add plenty of it to your chicken feed, the yolk will assume an intense yellow golden colour.

The presence or absence of that isn't really a mark of quality or lack thereof. But permanently adding it to your livestock's diet probably costs 1-2p more per laid egg, so you're looking at 20p more per carton. Profit margins are small for Big Egg as it is, so it's an expense that many egg producers will be willing to avoid.

It's not the worst thing ever but it's thin and bitty. There's no ideal water/powder ratio, something sucks about it whatever you do.
But at £14.99 per kilo that's not bad.

These are £16 a packet in Sainsburies, which is about half a kilo, so about twice the cost of the Peak Supps one, as well as having less protein per serving. They've changed the recipe and bag size since this image was made.

I bought myself an actual coconut last week, and then put it in the fridge. It was only 65p or something like that, and I don't actually like coconut in other things, so I bought it more for the adventure than the actual eating.

Opening it is a pain; I am convinced there must be an easier way than my own frankly quite well-equipped escapades to open it with a machete, a hammer and a chisel. It makes a mess all over your kitchen too, with wood chips flying all over the place.

Once you're through the shell, you've got a good centimetre of that white shit they put in Bounty bars. If you don't like that, like me, this is where you start to wonder if it's worth it. If you like it, well, it's much nicer straight from the nut than it is in any other food. You'll love it.

Finally, at the very centre, you have what I assume is coconut milk. You get about 25ml of this; about a shot. But damn it, it's delicious. It's so nice. It makes the whole adventure worth it. And then you drink it and realise you've just got a wooden ball full of coconut, and you dig out a bit more with a knife, but it's not really worth it and in the end you throw it in the bin. But for a 65p exotic dining experience, you could do a lot worse. Buy one each for everyone you live with; it'll be fun.

I've never bought a personal coconut, but I reckon I'd open it with a cutting disc on a dremel, which I accept would remove most, if not all of the romanticism of the experience.

Coconut water was very trendy a few years back, I don't know if they still sell it commercially here much, but it's very refreshing, more so than water, I assume because of all the foreign nutrient stuff in it.

Morrisons spicy sausages absolutely stink out the whole fridge no matter how much you wrap them up and even through closed packaging. As you would expect though they're dead nice and if you're doing the two packs for £4 than the apples ones are quite nice too.

Like most train stations, a company called SSP holds a quasi monopoly on departure lounge services across the UK. They own Ritazza, Pumpkin cafe, Upper Crust, basically any of those generic cafes you only see in transport hubs. They typically also own a couple of the bars in any given airport, and will often also own franchises in there too like Burger King and even Boots. There are a few airports where literally everything but the WHSmiths is owned and operated by SSP.

As such they are free to charge whatever the fuck they like, as they only compete with themselves - it also means they own the job market too, so can pay everyone fuck all.

Also, it's a captive audience, and everyone knows money doesn't exist when you're off on your holidays. So in a way it only costs £5 because people are willing to pay it.

There is a higher cost associated with stocking an airside venue, but I can't imagine it's enough to justify the prices they charge.

What annoys me is also that there are no more free coffee refills on most flights. Until a few years ago, a bit before Corona even, I'm pretty sure I remember that Thomas Cook or Jet2 Airlines used to offer free coffee, tea and water refills. I can imagine that charging two quid for a tiny cup of coffee each time that tastes pretty underwhelming is very lucrative to them, but I don't see how free refills of hot drinks costing pennies in ingredients were crippling an airline's finances before.

The last time we flew with Thomas Cook Airlines before they went tits up, we even had a free food and drink voucher during the flight. It was some sort of promo deal that our travel agent got us. Granted, we probably could've saved 200 quid in the first place by booking the entire holiday online without a travel agency.

It's been worse since the "temporary" fluid ban is in effect. They now know that in some smaller airports they're literally the only way you're getting any sort of hydration after you clear security. Drinking fountains? Oh, no, we couldn't have that, people might arrive with some exotic disease, or the bombwogs would just fill up their bottles and carry out their juicy explosion plan.

It's anywhere that serves alcohol, although I'm not sure you can go in with a 20 litre water bottle.

People confuse this with the American right to water (owing to the climate) and try to argue this with takeaways and the like, usually they just give the drunks water to save the hassle perpetuating the Americanism.

These are an acquired taste. Seemed to be like a mixture between the cool original flavour and sour cream and chive. I don't think it helps that the flavouring isn't evenly spread, so some chips taste far stronger than others. Quite nice with salsa, though.

Mushroom season is looking grim with all the drought we've had here this year.

Problem is, the tastiest varieties of wild mushroom like bay bolete or pennybun can't be grown.

Also, nothing beats the feeling of spending two hours in the woods, enjoying the scenery, getting plenty of fresh air and some exercise, and going home with a full wicker basket.

Bit like catch and keep fishing really, which I also enjoy. It's not just about going home with a nice meal that evening, but about spending a day in nature.

There is one thing you can try, and that is to put slices of a freshly picked pennybun cap under an oak, beech or pine tree in your back garden so that it can release spores into the ground. Like other wild mushrooms, pennybun forms a symbiotic relationship with certain tree species. Unfortunately, we don't have oak, beech or pine here, just hornbeam, Norway maple, English yew and a few fruit trees. And the success rate is said to be not great even if you have the right trees.

So yeah, pennybun, like some other wild mushrooms, are picky bastards. They want you to come get them in their natural habitat.

While deathcaps aren't bothered. I've seen plenty of them in the nearby park here, and one year, our neighbours even had some growing at the bottom of a hedge front of their house. They had no clue, but I went over and told them. Didn't want their little kids to find out the hard way.

They look like they have a significantly higher bread to topping ratio, which isn't what I want out of a frozen pizza. Might as well just have cheese on toast with a splash of tomato puree the state of some frozen pizzas. The good thing about the Chicago Town is how they have that gooey ooze of cheese and tomato sauce when you bite in.

I'll have to give them a try before I pass judgement mind. Frozen pizza is a staple of my diet ever since I started working shifts and just don't have the inclination to cook when I get home.

The US test run of the McPlant burger was quietly shelved last month (it is still available in some markets, including the UK) in one of a series of setbacks for a meatless-meat industry that only a year ago was claiming it could change the great American menu for ever.

Getting meat eaters in the US to adopt plant-based alternatives has proven a challenge. Beyond Meat, which produces a variety of plant-based products, including imitations of ground beef, burgers, sausages, meatballs and jerky, has had a rough 12 months, with its stock dipping nearly 70%.

Multiple chains that partnered with the company, including McDonald’s, have quietly ended trial launches. In August, the company laid off 4% of its workforce after a slowdown in sales growth. Last week, its chief operating officer was reportedly arrested for biting another man on the nose during a road rage confrontation.

Ignoring the surreal road rage bit, this seems a shame.

I firmly believe that vegetarian products can take off with the right marketing. Not to try and sound too Mad Men, but there's probably loads of advertising strategies that would catch on with meat-eaters.

If I had to take a stab, I'd say: don't make it sound like an ersatz substitute or some weird laboratory experiment, but hype up the qualities of the product itself. For McDonald's zombies, they don't give a fuck as long as it predictably fits the brand and reliably tastes pleasantly inoffensive as fast food should, so don't call it a McPlant, call it a McBake or a McToasty because they're they've got a nice burnt umami taste. For the fitness crowd, it would be "leaner than the meanest cut" or some bollocks since virtually all veggie protein has much lower fat content. Fortify it with iron or B vitamins and claim it's "twice the steak".

All veggie food marketing seems to make a "thing" out of the fact they're veggie, and thus get mentally associated with being a lesser copy of a meat product, or a choice made for an austere diet, environmental rationing or worse, with the moral superiority that comes with such a choice. The moral angle will only work on those who are already willing to go above and beyond, and are therefore the ones probably already buying such products.

Can any marketing wonk confirm if my intuition is correct, here?

It's difficult for McDonalds to launch anything substantially new, because their brand is so deeply established. They have a regular turnover of seasonal novelty items, but they never want to distract from their core offering.

They've had a couple of very expensive failures with trying to launch healthier burgers, because that's really not why people go to McDonalds. A McDonalds burger is supposed to be a greasy salty indulgence. They can do OK with stuff like salads and wraps, because a very indulgent salad with loads of chicken and bacon and dressing still looks healthy by comparison to a Big Mac. The constant risk for McDonalds is that if they make people think about health concerns, they're just going to push people towards other restaurant chains that have made health a part of their core brand. A lot of Subway sandwiches have more calories and fat than a Big Mac, but Subway's branding has been set up from the start to conceal that.

McPlant is a fairly sensible offering in a market like the UK, where there are a meaningful number of people who want to eat less meat but still like to eat crap when they're drunk or hungover. That market isn't anywhere near as big in the US, where vegetarianism and veganism is much more politically charged and carries much broader connotations about lifestyle and culture. We certainly have Clarksonish gammons who see meat eating as a political statement, but we also have lots of ordinary people with centrist views who have concerns about animal welfare or health. American culture is just too polarised for the phrase "vegan McDonalds burger" to make any sort of sense.

It largely boils down to cost. Fake meat is generally more expensive for something that doesn't taste as nice, with the only real exception to this in my experience being Quorn's chicken alternatives as they're passable and similarly priced (when on offer). If you want a meal that involves burgers, sausages or chicken pieces then you're somewhat okay but there's no real fake meat alternative to what you'd have with a roast or many other meals.

As the article mentions, the wildly optimistic valuations of the likes of Beyond Meat were based on hype that they'd end up with a similar market share to plant-based milk but that's turned out to be unfounded. With all the new entrants in recent years it's reminded me a little of the dot.com bubble.

I love Marmite and crunchy peanut butter so what could go wrong? In fact it turned out to be overbearingly salty as a toast topping so this languished in my cupboard for a while.

But fuck me, have it on buttered toast and add some jam to go with it and it's absolutely orgasmic. The sweet fruitiness disguises the overly-salty aspect of it and brings out something wonderful. Bit pricey mind.

I've yet to eat pulled pork that tastes nice. I've had pulled pork from Frankiin's and La Barbecue in Texas, it was at best OK. It's just not nice! At best you have fibrous bits drowned in a nice sauce, but beyond that it's just not worth it unless, I suppose, you grew up with it.

Outside of the US, pulled pork has been universally terrible. I'd take elephant leg shavings over that stringy sugar-soaked mess any day.

Well, vegan would be worse than non-vegan already, but manageable. Making something vegan and gluten free is like headbutting a wall when you already have a headache. Might as well put TASTES LIKE 100% AUTHENTIC GYPSUM PLASTER! on the front of the box as your selling point.

I do find it curious why so many of these things insist on having all three in the same product though. I almost suspect they're not really trying to meet differing dietary requirements while making a quality product, but rather just aiming at people who have brightly coloured hair, a non-standard sexual orientation, and a Feeld profile.

This is now my favourite frozen pizza, narrowly edging out the fancy sourdough one I had from Asda the other week. The base isn't as tasty but it's nice enough, and the flavour and quantity of toppings makes up for it, at the same sort of price.

We badly need some sort of standardisation of the food packaging chilli scale, though. This said it was a 3 chilli, but it was really quite mild. I've had some 2 chilli Las Iguanas enchiladas that blew it out of the water, and even 1 chilli ramen noodles that were on about the same level.

That said, while I was expecting more heat, I think it's for the best. It's a subtle spice that compliments the tomato sauce and saltiness of the pepperoni very well.

I feel like the same can be said of just about any frozen southern fried chicken. It's always just bland but with loads of black pepper, so that after a few pieces your mouth is burning but it still doesn't taste of anything. Is there something about freezing that makes other seasoning just not work, or what?

These were on reduced. The cheese and breadcrumbs gives them a bit of texture and flavour beyond just being quorn fillets. They need some sauce on top of that but they're not a bad thing at all if you want a meal you can just bung in the oven with some chips. They are totally indistinguishable though, bollocks is there any pesto in this, so whichever's cheaper.

When I used to be heavily into cycling, I'd go through carbs like nobody's business. Just a massive plate of fresh pasta with some butter melted over it would do me. It's just pure energy craving, I guess sort of how the gym bros can't get enough of their plain chicken and rice.

Nowadays I make sure to eat more sensible, balanced portions of things like pasta and noodles, with lots more veg to balance it out, but still. I can understand why people would like it, it hits right in your monkey brain pleasure spots.

I don't think sourdough pizza is worth the hype. I had a really nice one that was half the price of this, and so far my favourite is still the frozen Sainsbury's own brand, which isn't even sourdough. I'm pretty sure it's just a gimmick for poshos.

I think the quality and ratio of the toppings is by far the biggest factor in pizza quality, so for a full £5.75, this one gets a thumbs down from me. It's nice, but it's definitely not six quid nice; although I'm sure the target market will never know that, because they're the kind of people who think pizza is beneath them and thus would never eat a £2.75 frozen one to compare it with to begin with.

I also don't see what's so great about it being made in Italy. All that means is it's been sat in a lorry for several days, if anything it's a net negative.

Today I've had a bar of candy cane Chocolonely, seeing as they've been reduced to £1.05 in Sainsbo's for a 180g bar.

There's a hole in the middle of the chocolate, which is so you can tie a ribbon on it and hang it from your Christmas tree rather than because they're trying to make a point about starving Africans or whatever. It's pretty tasty dark chocolate considering it's only 51% cocoa solids but I'm not entirely sure on the crunchy candy cane pieces inside; I was expecting it to be your standard mint choco rather than one with pieces in, as that's the kind of gimmick I associate with Cadbury's since they were taken over.

I got some Quorn mince to see if it was as shit as I remembered or if they've improved it; somehow it's even more terrible. It has to be the worst veggie mince out there. The pieces are too large, so they don't absorb sauces well and it doesn't help that it looks like cat food but the least pleasant part is that you're biting into chunks of absolute nothingness.

It's just bog-standard price discrimination. They can charge £9 to people who aren't really bothered about that price, while offering a discount to people who wouldn't pay full price. Getting the discount is slightly inconvenient by design in order to facilitate this; people who are more sensitive to price are willing to jump through a few hoops to get a discount.

I tried the Plant-Based Bakon King Double because all the things with 'bakon' on the menu sounded the same to me. Tasted like a kebab-shop burger with lots of sauce but no gristle sticking in my teeth. It even did the kebab-shop burger thing of the patties all sliding out the back as I tried to eat it.
The bakon itself had no texture or discernible flavour and may as well not have been there.
Eating it didn't feel healthy but I don't feel all disgusting and greasy afterwards, like you do with a meat-based BK burger.

Current offers include: the Whopper and the vegan alternative, the Chicken Royale and the vegan alternative, the bacon double cheeseburger, chicken nuggets and the vegan alternative, chilli cheese bites, double or triple stacker burgers, regular fries, the Melt King and those vegan options with the bakon.

I'm pretty sure that's the entire menu, but it's not like BK have much worth ordering beyond the vegan royale and the bacon double cheeseburger.

The similar sort of things made by squeaky bean are actually not that bad. I'll happily put them in a wrap or sandwich or something.

But still.. I'm trying to cut down on meat but the heavily processed meat imitation stuff is all a bit wank and not exactly much better for your health than meat. But scratch cooking real vegetarian food is hard.

I find that Warburtons aren't as good as own-brand crumpets when it comes to butter distribution. If I have Asda crumpets then I know the butter will soak through and I'll be left with a nice buttery bottom whereas if I apply the same amount of butter to a Warburtons crumpet the bottom will be completely dry and nobody wants to bite into a crumpet with a dry bottom.

Heinz have been amongst the worst beans for years now, and they've zero experience in hash browns.

Beans and hash brown is an immortal combination though so I see what they were going for. It's just that no matter what they do, it'll never be a proper home made (or even McCain, long as you cook it right and crisp it up in the pan) one with Branston Beans (made with loads of extra butter) oozing over.

Bought some Vegemite on a whim. It's much milder than Marmite so it doesn't have that distinct tang. There was vague hints of another flavour in there, with the closet thing I can think of being a smokey bacon sandwich spread someone bought me as a gift years ago. It's also much thicker than Marmite, so it didn't combine as well with the melted butter on my toast.

It's not what you asked but their parent company had another meat-free brand, Taste & Glory, which ended up with its range being rebranded under Richmond because it's more recognisable.

At the end of 2021 Richmond had the fourth highest meat substitute sales with £27.2m whilst Taste & Glory was tenth with £8.9m. Quorn was at the top with £170.3m.

Try some Red Miso or Umami paste. I chanced upon a piddly little jar of the latter in Tesco once, and I soon found myself adding a blob to just about every savoury thing I was making. It doesn't have a salty taste on its own but merely enhances other stuff - It's amazing. I don't do Marmite or such myself, so I don't know just how salty it is, but if you still need a little bit more saltiness than Miso or Umami Paste can offer, then maybe real Oyster Sauce might be a good choice.

How bad do you think a McDonald's is for you if you make healthy choices? Yesterday I got the grilled chicken salad and it wasn't terrible. 118 calories and while the salad was warm the dressing was dead nice.

I was hungry from the gym and also got a free double cheeseburger and zero-calorie pop using my reward points

McDonald's isn't bad for you any more than buttered toast is, it's just calorifically dense. There's no magic chemicals in maccies that attack the body, or rather, if there are, they're in everything else you eat that isn't a directly unprocessed fruit or vegetable.

It's worth noting that Supersize Me was a really rather dishonest film.

Where exactly does one draw the line between processed and unprocessed? Let alone "ultra-processed" and "less processed". Basically anything that isn't raw fruit and veg can be called processed by some definition or other, and this is where the evidence for/against it usually falls down. Rarely are two studies comparing apples to apples, and if they are, the finding is usually that some or other aspect of the recipe is at fault, not the fact it's processed.

We know the presence of some specific ingredients, additives, chemicals and so on can have a direct impact on your health, and that having either an over-abundance or deficit of certain things in your diet overall will cause problems, but there's little significant evidence that the number of times a food has been mashed up and put back together again makes it inherently worse for you.

Critics of processed foods use a fairly arbitrary classification system. The basic problem with their evidence is that it's observational rather than interventional. We know that people who eat loads of cheap food tend to have worse health, but we have very little evidence to show that improving their diets (or feeding ultra-processed food to people who don't normally eat it) has any real impact.

You can try to separate out the confounding variables with clever statistics, but you can only get so far with that. By the same logic that people use to criticise processed foods, shopping at Sports Direct is bad for your health. People who shop at Sports Direct really do have worse health than the rest of the population, but it's obvious in this instance that you're really observing the fact that being poor is bad for your health; anything that poor people tend to do will correlate with worse health outcomes, but it doesn't mean that inexpensive leisurewear gives you heart disease.

Unrestricted CAF causes obesity in rats, but a restricted calorie CAF diet doesn't. If your lifestyle is as grim as that of a lab rat, you've probably got bigger problems than comfort-eating.

Obesity is definitely bad for you, excess salt is definitely bad for you if you're sensitive to it (a lot of people aren't), but there's very little evidence to suggest that a highly-processed calorie is any worse for you than an unprocessed calorie.

So:
1. We know that restricting caloric intake will improve someone's health.
2. We know that caloric density and (I presume we know) that relative nutritional values are much worse in processed foods.

Therefore buying all that cheese from Iceland will be bad for you.

>If your lifestyle is as grim as that of a lab rat, you've probably got bigger problems than comfort-eating.

I mean, what if that's what the problem is and it stays bad for the salad botherers too. What if only a miniscule amount of the human population will ever know true joy and we're just papering over the cracks by encouraging people to go to the gym and resist the urge to binge eat.

I got pressured into buying some by the fact that all four off licenses near me have started stocking them and I thought it must be for a good reason. I really like them, not normally a fan of lime in food but it works with Takis, and they're just the right level of spice.

Having said that, I don't quite get why they're so hyped by seppos.

My local Aldi has shitloads of banana blossom that it's struggling to shift even after heavily reducing it.

I don't know if I did the right thing, but I used the sot of fleshy tendrils and discarded the harder leafy bit so I reckon at least half of what's in the tin ended up in the bin. I used it to bulk up enchiladas and it was fine for that purpose as it adds a little density but little else, although I'm fairly certain most of it ended up being shat out undigested.

That isn't my picture, but the one I had was similar. I think it'd been in the tin for too long.

Apparently it's quite flaky when you dry it out so it's gained some popularity as an alternative to battered fish, but it's flavourless so I don't really see the point.

Curiously, the banana plant from Homebase I once got my mum for her birthday grew a flower. They don't normally do that as house plants unless the conditions are very favourable. Although hers wasn't a dwarf variety. It was over 1.5 metres tall.

Didn't bear any fruit though. For some reason, the flower started developing mold and perished.

I don't think I am, but to me, either you want to eat meat and that means you'll eat real actual meat, or you don't.

I'm more or less ok with calling something meat free burger mix, but as soon as you've got the word "meat" in it, you're a pretentious cunt in my eyes who won't admit that you'd rather be eating real meat. Which you probably do anyway when nobody's watching.

There're even little bits of herbs and stuff in the packet, as well as small cubes of presumably meat.

I'm not sure I grasp the direct, causal connection between almonds and heart health, but you could try almond butter or (unsalted) roasted almonds as an alternative.

Does the bag come with an A4 instruction leaflet regarding how to open the bag and eat them? I would expect the latter from LEGO crisps at least. As well as a link to the customer service site to order more crisps, if the ones you have are in bits or missing. Perhaps you could also get them in rare flavours lurking at the back of their warehouse, like Sticky BBQ Ribs, Gochujang Kimchi, and Hedgehog.

I don't want to cause panic buying but Lidl have these fish cakes cut into the shapes of sea animals called 'Pirate Treasure'. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that they taste exactly like the fish cake you'd get from the fish and chip shop when you were a child.

Jake and Nayn's BBQ Chipotle Burritos are pretty good - very sweet, though I noticed little sugar in the ingredients. I wouldn't bother buying them full price though (£2.60 or so, from memory).
The other flavour I've tried, Chiken Tika Naanster (is this an actual word?), isn't quite as good due to that sharp citrus taste associated with cheap curry, but they're otherwise okay if you can find them reduced.

I have once again made the mistake of buying something vegan which I thought was vegetarian, which means I've just had a vegan quiche.

Instead of eggs it's got 'Plant-Based Diary Free Cream Cheeze Alternative, Crackd® The No-Egg Egg® Powder and Applewood Vegan® Smoked Cheeze', which appear to be mostly potato starch or pea protein mixed with coconut oil and various gum. It wasn't unpleasant to eat, but it wasn't quiche. It was too dense.

Oh, it turns out I didn't type anything. Port Salut was a bit of a disappointment compared with other soft French cheeses I've tried. It was a bit like biting into a cheese spread triangle.

This was alright. Chucked some chicken breast and an egg in for protein. Satisfyingly rich taste and very filling portion.

I'm mainly here to whine about the spice rating though. Look at that- Four chillis. Four. No matter which way you slice it, a four chilli warning should mean the fucker is actually hot; and I hate to be that cunt moaning about things not being spicy enough, but I mean I literally didn't detect any hint of spice whatsoever. I don't know if my taste buds have all died or what but I didn't even get a tingle.

I am not one of those people who goes into a curry place and asks for the hottest vindaloo they can muster. You won't catch me putting scotch bonnets and ghost peppers in a chilli, because to me that level of spice is just a daft gimmick. By any sensible measure this supposedly four chilli noodle should have been too much for me; my ideal level would sit comfortably around the two chilli range. So even when I bought these I accounted for it, thinking "yeah, it says four but it's probably more like a two", but it wasn't even that. It literally wasn't spicy.

I think I have moaned about this before but it just really perplexes me. Surely they put more people off buying it this way, because they see the extra hot rating and think it'll be too much for them? What's the logic here?

People who write letters of complaint to food companies are likely to be the kind of people who complain that their Tikka Masala is too hot, rather than the kind of people who complain that Tabasco is barely a hot sauce because it's only 400 Scoville units. You'll probably finish a plate of food that you consider too bland, but lots of people won't take a second bite if they think it's too spicy. Something marketed as "Korean style BBQ beef" probably aimed at a much more mainstream market than something marketed as "bulgogi".

Related anecdote: I used to know a bloke who had memorised the phrase "I am not afraid of spicy food. Please cook me this dish the way you would cook it at home" in fourteen different languages. I'm still not sure if that's ridiculous or brilliant.

Got some natto. It doesn't smell as bad as its reputation suggests, but the extreme stickiness is offputting, as when you get a forkload of it, it had long fibres of slime like a pizza cheese pull taken to the extreme.

Not really. I'd been aware of it for a while, but on I'm A Celeb last year during one of the eating challenges, vegetarian Boy George could only eat gross plant based stuff. First challenge was "sticky beans", which was just natto. Found it weird that a Japanese staple was being treated the same way as raw kangaroo cock.

You're making a lot of assumptions.

I'll have you know that I had very juicy pork steak for dinner last night. With mashed potato from freshly cooked potatoes, and steamed cabbage and carrots with herbs and butter.

To make them look bigger. They're quite small; the image on the box is actually both sausages with the tips cut off, rather than one broken in half.

I eat a lot of sweetheart cabbage at the moment. It has a more mild and sweet flavour than regular cabbage.

Chopped and steamed in saltwater, vegetable stock and some white wine, with a bit of thinly sliced carrot and half a white onion. And a flake of butter stirred in after cooking, with some more powder vegetable stock. Delish.

Goes well with potatoes and well seasoned pork.

I think it's decent. Most spicy chicken burgers from chicken shops are nothing of the sort. As in the warmth is completely imperceptible. For a mass market product, the McSpicy is impressively hot.

The currently served limited edition McSpicy x Frank's Red Hot Sauce now - that's actually good.

I think if you're going to McDonald's expecting them to compete on price with chicken shops, you're barking up the wrong tree.

It's more that normally around that price point the McD's burgers have something going for them, even if it's just two or more kinds of veg. The McSpicy though is literally just the bit of chicken, some shredded lettuce and a dollop of sauce, hence the comparison to chicken shop fare which tends to be similarly uninspired.

I eat those protein puddings from Lidl as a supplement that won't blow out my carbs/fats for the day.

They make for a nice dessert already but if you want to go the next level then get about 30g of plain nuts and 30g of raisins to mix in. It's like if Cadbury made a fruit and nut style dessert.

People drink Bovril all the time and that’s basically the same thing. I had some at a football match recently and it was incredible. I loved it so much that I bought a jar on my next supermarket visit, and it wasn’t as good, but it’s certainly socially acceptable.

There is Bovril in my work-lunch stew that I am eating right now, and it’s the most incredible stew I have ever made myself in three and a half years of eating it every single week. I really am a terrible cook and it’s not a high bar to clear, and I have added Bovril in the past, but I just wanted to tell someone. To be honest, I think it’s the mace I added this time rather than anything else.
