Oooo I've not tried that one yet, but if it's anything like the mushroom one then I'm sure it's lovely! We're luck if theres any in stock by the time we get to Tesco :rotfl:

I haven't tried the mushroom one yet. Unless I'm confused. The 'other' one I haven't tried contains pineapple.

Since I posted I've tried one of the other dishes the 'amazeballs' one. It was nice, and an original flavour. But, it wasn't as epic as the pizza.

The Food Warehouse in Leicester ("by Iceland") has three flavours of Swedish Glace Ice-Cream for £2.50 each. Vanilla, Chocolate, Raspberry. They had Fry's (fake) Chicken Burgers for £2 for a pack of 4, and Fry's (fake) Chicken Nuggets for £2. I think there were other Fry's foods as well. Note that while I buy some of my food cheap from big supermarkets, I also make sure that I support my local independent store.

EDIT: BTW: I also saw a vegan frozen pizza base there that said it was made out of cauliflower. It was £2.50 if I remember correctly. However, I must admit that I'm not really tempted by a pizza base made out of cauliflower. I'd really prefer to leave trying that one up to someone else. Anyone doing the low carb thing?

To find vegan suitable foods at Sainsburys just type "vegan" into the Sajnsburys website, maybe the same works elsewhere.

For some supermarkets, it doesn't work perfectly. E.g. ASDA does not pick up all vegan products (e.g. dairy free fudge - you can search just for 'fudge' and find it.) However, I still use the method of searching for 'vegan' as it often shows products that I wasn't aware of.

It cracks me up when you search for "vegan" on a supermarket website and brings you up an avocado or bag of salad, like thanks yes that is vegan but I was after something slightly more exciting and unhealthy like some free from cookies

When I was a vegan and confronted by the most red-blooded carnivore's [STRIKE]ridicule[/STRIKE] confusion over what I ate, my opening gambit was: "so you've never had an apple for breakfast?".
