You can now get them in the UK at selected Sainsburys stores.
I got a free sample to redeem by registering for their newsletter.
Before I went, it was hard deciding between the mince and the strips but when I got there, they only had the mince which I redeemed with the coupon.
While I was at the store, I discovered the strips were reduced so I bought them as well and ended up trying both.
I have only tried omni products at the restaurants so it was good trying recipes myself.
The mince is quite sticky so you have to use a spoon and scrape it all out as some gets stuck but due to the stickiness, it makes it ideal for making patties or fillings.
Before I did anything, I cooked both of the products without seasoning to see if there was any basic flavour in it.
The mince tasted a bit beany while the strips were tastier with a light bacon taste.
For the mince, I followed the recipe on the pack and made mapo tofu as well as meat patties which worked out really nicely.
I felt that it was best not to cook the mince too long because it will become chewy, same applies to the strips.
The strips were served in a bun as suggested and I cooked the strips with miso barley for a nice punchy flavour.
Overall, I was really impressed with the taste.
I was really fortunate to get a physical coupon sent to me to try a pack of omnipork because it was such a task to redeem it.
With the existing redemption, you had to physically print it but there was a download involved.
There is also a real difficulty when asking a friend to print this because they have to "Accept the download" which is harmless according to the info but just for a simple coupon why is this needed.
It would be great if they could send a digital coupon as everything is going online these days.
After emailing Omnifoods, they were superb at following up the situation as they posted me a coupon which you just scan at Sainsburys and it was fuss free.
