I couldn't find any last year so made some with This Is Not Bacon and Gosh cocktail sausages. They went down really well.

Making your own is a good idea , particularly if you want them out of season.
I got some from Sainsburys.
Morrisons have them in the freezer aisle
Haha yes I love it! Who needs Lush bath bombs? Just give me the discounted food please
I wish I had a bigger freezer, I always have to play Tetris after a late night food shop because I can’t resist a yellow sticker!
Everything’s so expensive now, we have to get our thrills from somewhere, don’t we?
P.s the squeaky beans chicken is SO good. I’m excited to hear what their tuna is like!
It was actually amazing. Best fake tuna I have had. No cat food smell (IYKYK), no dodgy sour aftertaste. It had a pleasant fishy taste, I imagine they add some seaweed in the flavouring? Really convincing texture, flake-y but moist. I made it into tuna mayo and had with fresh baguette. I think it may be a bit too strange to someone who has been veggie/vegan most of their life and never tried actual tuna but for those of us who used to enjoy and have missed, it's wonderful to have tasty cruelty free alternative
I will definitely buy it again and try in a pasta dish (probs something like pasta alla putanesca, with olives, capers and tomato sauce), and it would also be nice in a pasta salad or a tuna nicoise style salad. Also, I got lucky, I got it from Sainsbury's and they did some money off if you had a Nectar so I will look to stock up when it's on offer again. Now I want to try their fake salmon too but I don't think my usual Sainsbury's does it 
The vegan bao at asda are gorgeous. What a shame they are for Christmas only.
Can you not buy extra and freeze to enjoy over months after Christmas?
Anyone disappointed by the vegan cheese platters available this festive season? I recall sweeping the shelves at my local ASDA last year for my annual NYE treat of cheese and wine. This year there seems to be nowt
Aldi and M&S have sets of 4 cheeses and they appear identical. I think M&S are charging twice as much though.
Ooooh might get Mr B to check out Aldi next week. Thanks!
Morrisons have theirs out. At least £1 more expensive than last year, too.Anyone disappointed by the vegan cheese platters available this festive season? I recall sweeping the shelves at my local ASDA last year for my annual NYE treat of cheese and wine. This year there seems to be nowt
Why not make your own up by buying separately and getting your favourites from different shops? There's always a minging one in the cheese boards, usually the blue style . However, I really like the ones with cranberry in .Anyone disappointed by the vegan cheese platters available this festive season?

I've said I'm not buying a cheese board this year cos there are always stray bits lying round for months
Oh I just keep having a mini board every day between Xmas and NY until I have none left
You know like a girl dinner/snacky bits platter kind of situation. For me, the cheeses are not an issue, I will eat them either way but I don't always manage to finish a chutney and so sometimes I find a half finished jar with a bit of mold in at the back of the fridge six months after Christmas - and feel wasteful. That's why I try to eat as much of the cheeses and condiments during the Christmas break 
And nobody eats all the crackers , they end up broken and stale.Oh I just keep having a mini board every day between Xmas and NY until I have none left
Is anyone making their own yorkshires for Christmas dinner? Would they be okay to do the night before? I previously bought Mabels but they seem smaller in the foil tray and I almost laughed out loud (in disbelief) that they are £6.50 for FOUR 🫣 I think not. I was going to follow the crackd recipe.
You could make them well in advance then freeze them and heat from frozen for about 5 -10 minutes in the oven at dinner time.
When I've eaten Yorkshires from the day before they have been a bit stale.
That’s a good idea, thanks! Will probably need to do a few batches.
Agree with you re the blue cheese one but I always found the boxes to be good value. You were getting four blocks of cheese for about a fiver. I'd be lucky to get that if I purchased them all separately. My local supermarket, ASDA, is a bit crap even though it's a big superstore.
I do my own from a bbc food recipe and I don't think they would keep well. They always come out quite dense but I think I prefer them that way.
This sounds absolutely incredible! Tuna and salmon were the only fish I ate before and I assumed it’d be too tricky to mimic the taste and texture. I’ll have to give these a try if I can find them in my Sainsbury’sIt was actually amazing. Best fake tuna I have had. No cat food smell (IYKYK), no dodgy sour aftertaste.

Lidl has some very cute Christmas themed bao buns! I’m sure I bought the reindeer ones from M&S last year (and they were probably twice the price too)
Hopefully my Lidl has them!
