Not in the Durham one. Or not the last time I asked. Is it the same 'summer pride' one?

Not sure, I saw it on the shelf where the silken tofu and the microwavable bags of grains/legumes are.

Maybe it's regional or a newish addition. Hopefully it's the latter as I was searching for some a while ago as the Asian supermarket I usually use didn't have any in. I asked in asda, sainsburys and Morrisons and was met with blank looks. Saying that, what with the increase in demand and new ranges, my local Morisons have recently stopped selling sosmix
Cooking veggie requires some decent spices I find, and to that end, I discovered these the other day. Their spices are top notch, freshest I've come across, well sourced, and from all over the world. They're sealed in resealable foil packs too, so no light or heat deterioration.

I made the Bosh scambled tofu today. I've got to say, this is a game changer. For years I've been trying with both silken and firm tofu and never thinking the texture of either was quite right. Combining the two is a touch of genius:

Aldi have the nutritional yeast flakes in for 2.99 ( Jeff Robinson). They also have the canned jackfruit, vegan mayo (hellmans) and veggie jerky!
They also have tonnes of flour in, spelt, rye (gentlegreen)
Mine has cotswold flour for 19p.

Wookey
Muppet is not a slur
Right, checking mine out tomorrow for some yeast flakes!! And the other things...
gentlegreen
I hummus, therefore I am ...
Mine hasn't so far been selling off Cotswold flour cheap even though they once again have an excess of the odd stuff - French Patisserie and a maize blend...
I loved the spelt while it lasted and have been buying all the malty "Cotswold Crunch" I can spot.
I tried the rye, but it made a stodgy cakey kind of bread in my machine (I added caraway seed).

Noticed these in Sainsbury's yesterday. Vitamin D and B12 enriched mushrooms! Apparently a third of a pack has your RDA of B12 and 60% of your RDA of vit D. This is an exciting development and early signs of what I hope is an evolving new plant-based food paradigm:

I'd pretty much given up on vegan cheese, but this is lovely in a butty or melted on a burger https://followyourheart.com/products/smoked-gouda/

worked it out now!
I bought some fishless filets today in Sainsbury’s in the freezer section. I have been veggie almost 30 years & never relied on or sought meat/fish replacement but with all the choice there is now so easily available I’m happy to give it a whirl. Also bought vegan Magnum ice creams.
Had a laugh at the vegan salmon though!

I've not tried the cheddar style, but their 'Greek style' is a very good feta substitute.

Have you tried them yet? I got the almond one and thought it was phenomenal! Exactly as I remember a magnum tasting. Vegan Ben and Jerry’s is also crack.

Yes, often, earlier even
Decent enough

Got some of this delivered yesterday - good texture and a lovely flavour, unlike some of the shite that's out there.

I finally got hold of some Naturli Vegan 'Butter' Block. And can confirm that it is the bollocks. Works great in baking and tastes just like butter

Had a Fry's vegan sausage roll (currently on offer for 80p in Sainsbury's) .
Not dissimilar to greggs, although next time I will brush it with soy milk and heat.

So I got to try this and it's pretty good. Mild and a bit like Gouda. Stick it in a salad sandwich and it tastes pretty damn good.

I've tried the grated version and it's pretty good. Slightly better than Asda's own version (but 50p more)
I bought some of this the other week to try and it was it was reduced (from £2.80 - £2.30 irrc).
I griddled it and served it as a 'haloumi' burger, with some lemon dressed salad and a chilli ketchup. It went down really well so I bought some more today... It's now gone down to £1.80! Not sure whether it's because Veganuary has finished so they have stopped cashing in, or that it is popular enough to reduce the price
I served 10 people with it today and got 9 raving reviews back (all meat-eaters) The only person who wasn't that impressed with it (although loved the salad) has been vegan for 30 odd years and said it was a bit too cheesey for her

I might reconsider this brand in that case. Their cream cheese is great but the cheese slices were like tasteless plastic. Will look out for it.

I got the Bosh book from a friend for Christmas. My tofu experiments have almost all been failures so far but this looks worth a go.
