Violife epic mature is the only block cheese I can stomach. Violife smoked slices are nice. Nothing beats daiya farmhouse cheddar for me but they don't sell in UK any more.

Artisan cheeses tend to be nice buy at the price, only for special occasions

Recently tried bousin and that was lovely. Didn't like violife or sheese cream cheeses so that was a surprise to find one I liked

Babybel is OK. Tastes like coconutty philadelphia. My husband has more varied tastes than me and he couldn't stand it though!

So it's Friday, and I fancy a takeaway, and thinking we'll have Papa Johns as I really like their no chicken nuggets (not so keen on vegan pizza so will just have a small one).
Who's also having a takeawy this weekend and what you're getting?

Us, my cooker has broken no idea what we are having, either chippy (vg sausages in batter for the kids and vg fritter and chips), dominoes or try out the mcplant.

Has anyone tried any of the new Starbucks veganuary offerings? Thinking of getting myself one of the bakery things this afternoon and looking for recommendations!

I had the McPlant the other day, it was really nice, maybe no good for people who don’t like fake meat as it is realistic but yeah it’s good

There's a new spiced chickpea burger that's just launched apparently! Just saw the news this morning. I'm so glad KFC have brought back their vegan burger too

I was going to, but made the Bosh General TSO sticky tofu instead & it’s so much better than the takeaway offerings near me

in Dublin we have a place called the vegan sandwich company & they have the most unreal food so hopefully something from there over the weekend

Depending on how much you're willing to spend, perhaps look into some indie brands? I've heard good things about https://thekindaco.com/ and https://lafauxmagerie.com/. Haven't tried either but have had nice cashew brie cheese made by a local vegan food place.

Interesting recommendations, I bookmarked both for after payday

That might convince me to go to Nandos, i haven't been for at least 10 years I do sometimes have enough meat alternative burgers and miss a classic bean or chickpea one

The vegan sandwich company sounds amazing, if I ever go to Dublin again, will try to get some

Another non vegan but don’t eat red meat or pork and trying to cut down on dairy and other meats.
I don’t usually go for meat style products as my main reason for not eating meat is I don’t like the texture. But really fancying the mcplant or the Burger King nuggets. Don’t like the look of the vegan Burger King burgers though.

Are the BK actually properly vegan though ? The last one was plant based but cooked with the meat so wasn’t actually vegan despite being plant based.

Thanks for your support. I suppose I just feel I should like it. Which is crazy.

I bought this on a whim before (£2.80 Sainsbury’s) and it is amazing. Definitely recommend for umami anything. Had a broccoli and slab of tofu going today and wanted to use them up. Baked the tofu in a blue dragon satay sauce and drizzled this over the veggies and sticky rice - it tasted restaurant-standard I wish I had leffovers.

Picked up the Plant Pioneers chicken slices to try and chow mein ready meal. Nothing is really grabbing me this Veganuary. No more burgers, please Takeaway is definitely stealing the show vs supermarkets.

What does the Poke sauce taste like?
