Where do you buy it? I saw someone mention on here a while back (maybe you?), I've looked in the supermarket since, but never seen it. 

 

Matta's on Bold Street stock versions by The Bury Black Pudding Company and The Real Lancashire Black Pudding Company.

Vegan white pudding?

Made a veggie fry for tea tonight. 

 

Meat free sausages and white pudding, potato bread, soda bread, 2 fried eggs and beans cooked well down. Had a big glass of coke with ice because I really needed it.

 

The eggs ended up cooked more than I usually would and one of the bastards stuck to the pan. 

 

I’ve tried “This isn’t bacon” but didn’t like it. It’s like a weird processed rasher. Some veggie sausages and white pudding are top notch now, though.

What have you done to those beans? Cooked them dry, sucked the juice off them or strained them through your skids? You dirty bastard

Haha - out of rep, but I would love to get that can of bean juice. What a day that would be

[Bjornebye]

I'd rather find a hand than that

Got to agree

While i general enjoy veggie options, i made the mistake of trying veggie haggis once.

Just don’t see the point in fake meat.

In Scotland recently my missus had the veggie breakfast on our last morning there and the veggie haggis they served up was basically just crushed nuts and seasoning. Awful.

Well if you’re vegetarian or vegan it doesn’t matter. It’s not about the taste.

Italian, Indian, Asian, African cuisine has numerous amazing dishes that don’t have meat in them. 
 

I never want to eat plastic bacon.

Yeah the bacon is shite. I tried it once but not for me.

It's all about the taste. Why eat stuff that tastes crap when there are unlimited delicious alternatives, vegie, vegan or omnivore. Eating is one of lifes great pleasures.

I've had some lovely veggie haggises. None of them were attempting to be meaty, they were just vegetables, cereals and spices.

 

Veggie bacon is highly variable and quite a few of them are a bit rubbish. The best one was Streaky Strips but Kellogg's withdrew them in the UK years ago.

Yeah best to stick to the veggie sausages on the breakfast, and then have a packet of Frazzles afterwards.

Some people yearn for the meaty taste and/or texture but don't want an animal to die for it. 

 

However, having never eaten meat I am mostly not that bothered about replacements. The exception being veggie sausages which I do enjoy. 

 

Some tell me there is no difference between quorn Mince and the real thing, ditto quorn nuggets, others will shit on your pillow over such a stance. Both taste OK to me but I can take or leave it anyway. 

 

Surely in an ideal world everyone would prefer a synthetic or whatever style of replacement over an animal dying?

Personally, no.

 

obviously I’m not here celebrating animal death, and I do try and reduce my meat intake (especially red meat) compared to where it was a few years ago, but that is not to avoid the death animal.

 

I want good animal welfare standards and don’t want them to suffer significantly, but the death of the animal doesn’t factor much if at all for me. Might sound callous but it’s the truth.

 

I’ll trend further towards eating less meat over the next 2-5 years I’m sure of it, but I can’t see a point where I entirely remove it from my diet, and don’t think that would change if the “synthetic alternative” was a genuine option.

 

I did say to my other half that I could happily move to veggie burgers and sausages at barbecues, and while I haven’t, that’s because of habit and I should make more effort, but chicken will forever be something I eat, I’m sure. Most likely so will pork.

Personally I think it's all a bit moot. There isn't an option that's exactly the same. There are plenty of options out there that are similar enough for some. But right now I think it's all a bit hypothetical. But when some of these lab grown meats come to market and if they're as good, would you really choose them over real chicken/pork? I don't know because I don't know what it will look like. But if I can buy chicken breast with from a dead bird or a petri dish and it tastes the same, I see no reason not to pick the petri version. 

 

Right now I eat virtually none of that kind of thing as I think it's crap. I recently had a Gregg's vegan sausage role which was kind of ok, but I don't really eat meat ones, it was more an experiment to see what it was like, so pugs haven't really won that battle.

If you don’t like beans, fine, whatever, but how can anyone not like dipping chips or toast or whatever in bean juice? Perverts

[TheHowieLama]

Bean juice is watered down ketchup with a little brown sugar in it.

 

I don't want to dip any good food into watered down ketchup.

I'd rather dip a peperami in Jo Brands arse sweat mate.
