Pure margarine/cheese slices/triangles

[bradders]

well they are aiming to mimic dairylee which never really tasted much like cheese either

[hullabaloo]

I loved dairylee, shame it tastes nothing like it. Though I don't get cravings for it anymore which can only be a good thing

[leela]

Me too, i bought some Pure from tesco today and tried it as soon as i got home.
Didn't like it at all, too grainy and sweet with an odd flavour.
If anyone finds a way of using it that makes it palatable, i'd love to know, otherwise its a waste of £1.69

[harpy]

This is fake cream cheese is it? You could try making peanut butter, "cream cheese" and chopped celery sandwiches with it. I used to like those, and the taste of the peanut butter and celery might just overwhelm the fake cheese...

I bought the Alpro one and thought the exact same thing.

Yes, fake cream cheese
I will try putting it in a sandwich as you say, with other strong flavours, i do like peanut butter. Also, olives and chillis might work.
Must experiment...

Never knew Alpro did one, but think i'll stick to cream sheese in future

My experience exactly. The triangles and slices haven't appeared yet. When they finally show up I do hope they're better than the spread.

We are a toffuti cream cheese household here.

[Zero]

I am interested in what these triangles will be like

[Stig]

Come on cheese triangles, I bet Pure would love this thread.

[mchelle81]

OMG i am sick of looking for these flipping things

[Pob]

Didn't like the Alpro cream cheese, either. Tastes like ice cream, I thought.
Someone creative could probably make a really good dessert out of it, but it's pants for savoury things.

[jimmeh]

For anyone who still doesn't believe.....

I admit I was skeptical until I saw this

why would you be skeptical ?
dont think anyone would make it up ?

[jimmeh]

Ha! No, I didn't mean that. I had read this thread and looked in the shops for so long that I began to think it was something Pure planned but was never going to happen

[mchelle81]

ive give up looking im fed up of waiting for them, so im leaving it till someone finds them and posts on here then i will start looking again. its been months now dont know why they left it as long as they have could of put the coming soon a few weeks before launching them but months is ridiculous.

[jimmeh]

Ah, but we must live in hope . At least it made me walk past the cheese in Morrison's. I was amazed at how many different types of cheese you can buy!

Note to self - must get out more

[mchelle81]

yes it got me back in cheese bit to shame i found a cheese with jalapino chillis in i love chillies wish they made a vegan one of that

[runtheroad]

It's real. Wall:E and I found some in Purley Tesco this week.........

[bradders]

It's not hit Hornchurch tesco yet (but that place is pretty small, they only have one vegetarian freeser cabinet rather than the one in Surrey Quays (still fairly small but bigger than this one) which has practically a full side of a freezer aisle packed with veggie and vegen food) but will keep an eye out in various places

[jimmeh]

wow! It looks nice. Still not found it in Glasgow either

[runtheroad]

Well, Wall:E and I have sampled it and had a little chat. We are both in agreement that it is alright, but not a patch on.........

[jimmeh]

That's adorable. In a strange way.

[Ruby Rose]

You see, I believe in Wall-E, but I think Pure cheese spread is just a made-up cartoon character...

[f2097]

I have changed jobs and moved house in the time between first seeing the advert on the tub and now!! I've still not found any of the new products anywhere

Wall-E is defiantly onto something though, Tofutti is ace. Especially the garlic and herb one *drools*

Ha ha. I would think it will take a while to come up to Orkney Tesco. Do you get a range of vegan things up there cobweb?

Not too bad at all.

[bradders]

doing beter than me in East London

[cobweb]

yep i was very pleasantly suprised to find how much i could get here, and the situation has improved no end since Tesco opened up here last year.

[Spud Addict]

Am going to go investigate my local tesco later on today. Wish me luck!

[Sueflower]

I have just spoke to Pure and they say the cheese spread is now in Tesco stores for those in Leicester its at the store on Beaumont Lays apparantly.Asda from last friday is stocking the Pure cheese slices so i will have a look at the weekend to see if i can find them. if you have problems finding the cream cheese the code number is 063968763

[snaffler]

Just read this for the first time today this is amazing news, I am a massive fan of all the Cheezly and Scheese range so another alternative is good news

[Bartlebee]

I saw these advertised before Christams *sobs
why pure? ...WHHYY!!

well i'll try the cheese slices if I see them but i'm not holding much hope, all the fake cheese's without exception taste horrid to me

[runtheroad]

After work tonight Wall-E insisted we go shopping again. I reminded him about our jaunt to Purley Tesco earlier in the week but he made "those eyes" at me until I gave in and agreed to go to Burgh Heath ASDA.

Now I know why Wall-E was so keen - look what we found!

[cobweb]

does Wall-E think the slices are atall similar to the Tofutti ones? - cos we love them on pizzas!

[Buddha Belly]

I used the cream cheese for a cheese cake as it tastes like tramps feet by itself

[cobweb]

not atall keen on cream cheese of any description, ew (do you go round licking tramps feet, BB??)

[Buddha Belly]

(Helen not BB) yes that's the real reason he got suspended

[1gentlemaorispirit]

Thanks for that image! That's me off any cheese cake you make!

[Bartlebee]

It robots like WALL-E who steal all the cheese slices so there are none for the rest of us, Dahm you WALL-E!!
Yeah actually I don't like them by themselves but i have tried toffuti on pizza and gotten nice results

[puffin]

BLAAAA the spread is horrible, how could they get it so wrong. Now i am hoping the slices are better

[bradders]

still none in the local tesco harrumph!!

mind you they only have soya pure anyway.

[Zero]

^They probably won't bother stocking it in Essex!

[bradders]

Arg! nuff with the Essex references already!

[Buddha Belly]

Move then



sorry

[Zero]

Take it off your location then!

Anyway, the last I looked there were still none of these products at my local Tesco either.

[Buddha Belly]

Got the soft pure spread it was too sweet and had little flavour.
