Macsween Vegetarian Haggis

Vegan Haggis

The original vegetarian haggis from Macsween.  I have never had haggis before, but I was interested to try the vegan version.  It was quite good and I will have it again at some point.  The texture is soft, a little like a loose nut loaf.  It contains lentil and nuts.  Very filling and has a good savoury taste.  I had mine with some neeps and tatties with some Naturally Good Vegan Gravy.

They are very easy to cook,  we just microwaved ours or you can cook it in the oven.

Each 225gram haggis is suitable for vegans and vegetarians,  Vegetarian Society Approved.   Priced at £1.96 from health food shops.

Areolives

Veggie Olives

In three flavours Mixed Olives with Herbs, Green Olives with Sun Dried Tomato and Green Olives with Red Pepper all from Areolives.   These were OK,  they did have quite a few bits of olive stone in them which is a bit off putting.  The olives were a firm pleasant texture.  The Sundried tomato ones were a bit briney which is OK but I imagine some people would not like that.  The mixed olive pack had more olives that were a bit mushy.  The red pepper olives were pleasant.   I think if you like olives you would enjoy these.

Each 95gram pack is suitable for vegetarians, vegan as far as I can tell.  Per 100grams is 213kcal.  Sold in supermarkets.

I personally prefer the Olive Snack from Oloves which I reviewed earlier.

Naturally Good Vegetable Gravy Powder

Vegan Gravy

With quite a savoury flavour a vegetable gravy from Naturally Good.  Not a bad gravy, the flavour is tasty and savoury and the texture is fairly smooth.  You do need to add more gravy powder than they say on the pack unless you want watery gravy and it does take a while to thicken up.   Perfect for Sunday Lunch.  I had mine on some mashed potato with some vegetarian Haggis which was great.

Each 130gram tub it suitable for vegans and vegetarians, Vegetarian Society Approved.  No artificial additives, flavours, colours or preservatives.   Sold in health food shops.

Humdinger Worcester Sauce Nuts

Veggie Worcester Sauce Flavour Nuts

Cashews and Peanuts with a worcester sauce flavour from Humdinger foods.   These were not the best snack I have tried,  they tasted kind of stale.  You can taste the worcester sauce but it just did not work for me.  The nuts were an OK texture, but the flavouring was not great.

Each 90gram bag is suitable for vegetarians, vegan as far as I can tell.  Per 30gram serving is 176kcal.  Sold in supermarkets.
