M&S Marks Spencer Plant Kitchen Sliced Mature style

Marks and Spencers have done it again with so many new items for Veganuary such as Chickenless tikka masala, melt in the middle no fish cakes, no chicken Southern fried tenders, no beef meatballs, no beef steak bakes, Shanghai no beef noodle bowl, Sweet n Sour no chicken, New York style no salt beef roll.

As for the cheese alternatives, you will find Sliced Mature style, Mature style block, grated Mature, grated Mozzarella as well as and Greek style.

The sliced Mature style was quite good and cheesy, it melted like cheese when heated with a decent strong cheesy taste.

As well as the packs, the New York style no beef also contains a slice of the mature style.

Sainsburys Plant Pioneers shroomballs

I only tried these shroomballs because they were reduced.

The mushroom and jackfruit ingredients seemed natrual but sadly the texture was too firm and weird.

Overall tasty if you can overcome the texture or it would have been nice if they didn't add any soya.

Rating: 2/5

Marks and Spencers Plant Kitchen no pork Streaky bacon

I think mock bacon is the hardest to produce because of the texture.

So far one of the brands Ive tried has a good texture but the taste isn't quite right.

After trying the M&S plant kitchen version, I really liked the taste but the texture was a bit strange.

So to conclude, I prefer using mock bacon in stews and gravies as the taste and texture works better.

The M&S plant bacon worked really well when it was sauteed with spinach and cauliflower cheese.

M&S Marks and Spencers Plant Kitchen Edamame & Black Rice Salad

Ever since I spotted this, I have always wanted to try it because there are so many exciting things in this salad like black rice, edamame etc.
The salad was really tasty as it was Japanese inspired with edamame mixed with wakame seaweed, then you have this really moreish chili cashew nut dip which I thought was pumpkin because of the colour which also had fragrant soy sauce and carrots.

I was even surprised to discover prized aromatic dried porcini mushrooms in the ingredients as well mirin wine which explains why the flavours were so bold and delicious.

Flora Light ProActiv review

It has been a while since I've had margarine so I've forgotten how it tastes.
As I was having oven bottom muffins for breakfast which calls for butter I tried Flora Light ProActiv on it and it tasted just as good as butter.

The margarine went on nicely and my oven botton muffin was heaven.

The Collective Plant Fudge Yoghurt Review

As I am not a vegan, I have tried other yoghurts by The Collective.
This time I tried the fudge yoghurt from their Plant series which is made from a blend of oats, coconut and rice.

The texture was definitely thick but I wouldn't say it tasted like yoghrt because the taste and texture was more similar to pudding/curd yet it was really silky and light.

Strangely, I preferred their plant yoghurt over their regular yoghurt purely because of the taste.

The fudge at the bottom was sweet and dreamy while the top yoghurt layer had a mild tart taste to it.

Overall, I would definitely get this again and eat it like pudding or a dessert.

Sainsburys Plant Pioneer desserts

It's about time Sainsburys Plant Pioneers series had desserts.
Now they have the chocolate salted caramel pots and the raspberry layered desserts.
