Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted January 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2019 Just had one of the vegan sausage rolls. Its ok, a bit more herb flavour than the meat ones but otherwise I couldn't really tell a difference. Thumbs up from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted January 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hopefully if this goes well they'll start selling these alongside the the meat ones in Iceland for cooking at home. Rarely eat them, but when hanging and I can't face the outside world  it's good to have the option in the freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, sadly I think I'm too far south for PB, so have to pin my hopes on Iceland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not vegan-related, but switching to sugar-free Coke or Pepsi won't make any difference. Try switching to water instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try switching to water instead. I drink at least 4 pints of water a day, always have. It's just I like a can of Coke/Pepsi a day too, so thought I'd give the sugar free stuff a bash and it was nowhere near as rank as it used to be.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Managed to find the sausage rolls, nowhere had any yesterday. Scoffed down two and yeah they're pretty much spot on, just a little bit more herb/spice than the meat version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted January 5, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2019 What's the general consensus in regards to morals? It's attention from a big brand for vegans but all the money they make goes into a greatly non-vegan business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this goes down well though (which it looks like it really is doing), then surely more money will be invested in coming up with new vegan products. In theory, there will be people that choose the vegan product as an alternative to the meat product, rather than solely attracting new customers that are vegan. The more vegan products that are out there as an option, the better this is for everyone isn't it? I can't see that there's much of a moral question to be asked of a "meat" business giving an alternative vegan friendly product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) My "morals" are simply I eat what I can bloody afford to eat, plus nearly all of the vegan brands are owned by big corporate cunts anyway so there very little way to escape funding non-vegan business unless you cook from scratch or can afford to eat out/buy the mostly more expensive independent stuff. I'm pretty sure others in this thread have already talked about this better than I can anyway. *Oof, that probably came across angrier than it should, I'm in a bit of a mood today.
