Here's some good news for once! When I opened a new tub of Pure soya dairy free spread (which carries the Vegan Society sunflower :) ), the protective paper layer had the message:
"new coming soon...
your dairy free and delicious soya alternative to cheese..."
The illustration shows 3 products: thick slices, chunky triangles and creamy spread, presumably meaning they're targeting the school lunch-box market. As Tesco has long carried the Pure range of spreads, I would imagine there's a good chance they would stock these.
Personally I like Cheezly and Sheese, but I think it's great that another manufacturer is entering the market, providing more choice and perhaps letting new people discover how delicious vegan food can be!
I always found that I could eat many of the cheeses by themselves, because they tasted like a cheese sandwichyes?...in a way at least.
Good to see you Mzee! Let us know when you've spotted and/or tried the Pure cheese. Hope it's good, not like the horridness that Alpro launched last year. :(
Maybe because a lot of people who aren't vegan actually buy soya milk and spread for health reasons but don't extend it to cheese? I know you can get lactose free cheese that isn't vegan so maybe they buy tht instead..same point as it not being as popular I suppose.
Does anybody know if tescos cider is vegan? They told me it was but I am unsure. I know tescos aren't ethical but it's very cheap for cider and I am addicted. I dont buy there very often though.
Thank you, Ruby Rose! There is nothing yet in the local Tesco, but when I was passing through Bristol last Saturday I made a 'pit stop' at Tesco in Brislington and had a look in the cheese section when I was there. I saw an Alpro spread, which may have been the one you refer to, but I didn't buy it because they also had Pure "soya soft & creamy spread"! It was in the soft cheese section, rather than next to the Pure 'margarines', where I first looked. I couldn't find any Pure slices, though - maybe they haven't yet been released.
So I bought it - here is my review:
It is very creamy! Although not unpleasant, it is nothing like my preferred Cheezly cheddar style. I shall use it up in my sandwiches, but I probably won't buy it again. It certainly seems to be aimed at the young and sweet-toothed, as it contains sugar (3.5%) as well as glucose and inulin (which is actually a fibre, but has a sweet taste). I don't remember cheese being sweet, but perhaps cheese spreads such as Philidelphia are sweet? I vaguely remember something I ate in France many years ago that was sweet - I believe it was called "petit suisse" (perhaps its shape was like some Swiss cheeses?)
It seems that my local Asda have finally started stocking the pure "cheese" slices!! I did a little joyful gasp/dance when I found them in there the other day and a fat 13 year old with a trolley full of crisps and cakes and her equally fat mother laughed at me
Anyway, to get to the point, I had high hopes for them but they are, in fact, horrible. They don't really taste or smell of anything. And they are too hard.
Epic fail on the cheese front, really.
Yeah I had a "cheese" and tomato sandwhich and it was alright....not particularly special though, I'd rather have cheezley
Tesco now sell this http://www.ilovepeanutbutter.com/det...010006__4.html
Dark Chocolate Dreams 16oz
All natural peanut butter blended with rich dark chocolate.
I've not opened it yet, but am hoping I've struck peanut butter gold!!!
Good find. Does the walsgrave one have it?
Ah, the Ricoh one scares me.
We've been eating peanut butter warmed up with melted chocolate, alpro soya cream and a bit of golden syrup on ice cream recently. Haven't seen peanut butter with chocolate already in it before.
I didn't like the dark chocolate dreams one that much, or certainly not enough to justify the price. However, it was very nice stirred into some oats with mylk for a snack today.
