Last night's leftovers! Dark bits are mushrooms.

Bren , there are several types of "mince" in the shops. The one I used last night was https://www.this.co/products/beef-mince-frozen
It looks like mince and stays separate when cooked, like meat mince. Its about 40 years since I've eaten "meat mince" so can't really compare the taste!
Its good with pasta so you could try it with your spag bol, perhaps?

Meat (beef , lamb or pork) mince is lovely and only one ingredient. Gawd knows whats in that highly ptrocessed crap they call veggie mince?. Tried it once, never again! Just saying! Big Grin

After a rummage in the fridge to check dates the meats I needed to use were sausage,bacon and rump steak. So three guesses what I had for lunch, with a couple of eggs scrambled and fried in the butter i cooked the steak in. Enough bacon & sausage left for ron with possibly some cottage cheese?

I'm not rising to the bait. Just remember all the medications that are given to meat animals during the course of their short lives. Tongue

The majority of bought vegetables are treated with chemicals also!
I would never try and bait you veggie Rolleyes

but just out of interest I will have a look at the packaging & the ingredient list next time I am shopping? A lot of these fake meat products seem to be based on Jackfruit? Not a lot of jackfruit growing in the UK I would imagine? I don't even know what a jackfruit looks like?

Thanks Veggie I’ll give it a go at some point. It’s looking like I’ll be able to buy it in a fair few stores.

I didn't buy it, think it came from the Prawn lady! I've seen some of this make in Morries though.

If you click on the link https://www.this.co/products/beef-mince-frozen it tells you exactly what the ingredients are. Its soya, not jackfruit - which can be bought in tins. It cooks into "shreds" and is quite bland so takes on the flavour of whatever its cooked with. Good in curries.
