Redwood Vegan Chicken Style Madras Curry

Vegi Deli Chicken Style Curry

From Redwoods chicken style pieces in a Madras curry sauce ideal with rice or vegan bread.

I tried this with some rice,  the flavour is very strong and spicy,  it did hit the back of my throat a bit hard and it tasted slightly salty.   The chicken style pieces were better than I imagined,  just soft not chewy.   I think if I had this again I would add some vegetables to it.  This is not my favourite Redwood product but it is OK .  Ideal for when you do not feel like cooking. I recommend that you have the bread or rice with it to take some of the heat out of the sauce.

Each 350gram pouch is Suitable for Vegans, Vegetarian, Dairy Free, made in a Meat Free Environment.  Per 100grams is 114kcal.

PRODUCT UPDATE

I have had an email on 14th July 2011 from Redwoods telling me that this product has now been discontinued.

Redwoods make some fantastic Vegan food try their Frankfurters which I reviewed in an earlier post.

Shapers Maple Popcorn

Boots Low Calorie Maple Popcorn

From the Shapers range at Boots a low calorie popcorn sweetened with maple syrup.   The popcorn is not fantastic,  the texture is a little like plastic and the flavour is slightly sweet smokey maple flavour.  It tastes like a diet food.  However if you are on a low fat diet this is a filling sweet dessert at only 92kcal per bag.  I recently reviewed Shapers Bacon Crisps which were quite good.

Each 20gram bag is suitable for vegetarians, vegan as far as I can tell,  ingredients are only popping corn, rapeseed oil, sugar, natural maple syrup.  92kcal per bag.  Sold in Boots stores.

I personally prefer the Tyrells Proper Popcorn which I reviewed earlier,  this is also fairly low calorie but the taste is far superior.

Walkers Paprika Ridged Crisps

Walkers Max Paprika Crisps

A deep ridge cut,  paprika flavour crisps from Walkers.   A light and crunchy thick crisp,  it is easy to bite into, not too hard.  The ridges add a nice texture and the flavour is good,  but the paprika is a little cloying on the throat.   They are great for a snack, or a party food.

I personally prefer the ridge cut crisps by McCoys which I reviewed earlier although they are only either plain or salt and vinegar for vegans.

Each 50gram bag is 265kcal, Suitable for Vegetarians, vegan as far as I can tell.  Cooked in sunflower oil.  No artificial colours or preservatives.  Sold in corner shops and supermarkets.

Bisto Best Roasted Winter Vegetable Gravy

Bisto Veggie Gravy

From Bisto a Winter vegetable gravy.  I use this gravy quite often because it is really easy to use and tastes good.  It is a light gravy and perfect with roasted vegetables or with sausages (i like it with the Redwood Sage & Marjoram sausages that I reviewed in an earlier post) .  The flavour is really nice and it tastes like roasted vegetables.  I sometimes like to add a little to soups instead of stock.

I recently reviewed another bisto gravy (Caramalised Onion Gravy) which is a richer darker flavour and is very good.

Each 200gram Jar is Suitable for Vegetarians, Vegan as far as I can tell,  each serving of 70ml is 21kcal. Sold in supermarkets.  To make you just add hot water and stir.
