What ya shouting for Ddraig?
Yep, still 2 squids. Got some chicken-type burgers n'all. The only failure today was turning up no tofu in Lidl. Gutted. Cardiff paucity.

Those burgers ain't bad at all. They carry that familiar protein/cereal taste but a lot more interesting than the usual stuff. And those cheeky Fry's 'chicken' burgers were a delight. I was transported back to my first ever McD type chicken burger with the lettuce and mayo. Having not been raised vegan or anything, I do have fantastical reminiscences of the stuff I loved before I went vegan a few years ago. And these stand-ins are brilliant for me. I largely cook from scratch so a sly bit of junk goes a long way in the satisfaction stakes.

I'm on the non-meat gravy train now...

Just looked on their website. No mention of the ' creamy looking mushrooms '.

As somebody with Austrian grandparents I also take issue with that. Everyone knows that schnitzel should be served with fried potatoes, cucumber salad, tomato salad and green beans.

Is that the silken kind. Looks awfully shiny?

I THINK YOU'LL NEED TO PUT LIBERAL AMOUNTS OF SOME KIND OF FAT ON THEM.
But do let us know the results.

I KNOW, THEY EVEN STICK TO MY FAIRLY EXPENSIVE NON STICK PAN.

Was firm apparently, but not as firm as the Clearspring stuff we normally get. Mostly held its shape though and is currently marinading.

I've got quite into silken tofu recently. I made a pasta sauce from silken tofu / garlic / lemon / walnuts / nutritional yeast / basil last night which was lovely and thickened it up with some breadcrumbs to turn into pate for sandwiches today.
Better than normal tofu for scrambling too.
My other current fave is yellow pea flour, which is similar to chickpea/gram flour but a bit lighter somehow, makes fantastic omelettes.

Sainsbury's are increasing their range.
Sainsbury’s launches new vegan range due to increasing demand for plant-based food
What's interesting about this is that they are going to stock the new mock meat in the actual meat isle, rather than in the vegan or 'free from' section. So it might help grow flexitarianism and people wanting 'meat free Mondays' and so on.

Genuinely, this would not bother me. If I extended that sort of logic in all areas of my life I may as well become a hermit....or put off actually veggies and vegans from going near it

Pretty excited to try some of these, especially the sweet potato katsu with sticky rice!

So long as it's not dripping in blood from the slaughtered animal products, I like the idea of seeing veggie alternatives next to the dead flesh....or put off actually veggies and vegans from going near it

I guess it's not really much different from the plant milks on sale in the same isle as the dairy milks. That said, I'm certainly not relishing the thought of shopping in the flesh isle.

But it'll be nice seeing the veggie/vegan quota slowly grow over time

Not tried it myself. Of course it won’t be *lab* grown by the time it hits the market.

I haven't put the No Bull burgers on a bbq yet, but last time I was at a bbq I took along Vivera, - fake steak found in Tesco. More expensive than No Bull at £3 for two and a bit on the small side but they worked really well, they held their shape and didn't stick, even the hardened meat eaters present admitted they were a decent substitute.
