Pure margarine/cheese slices/triangles

[Gorilla]

ah i see, i knew i'd never seen any in the UK. we do unfortunately have 'non-dairy' cheeses with casein in them though.

[bradders]

some boffin in an office somewhere thought it was a good idea i'm sure

[flying plum]

i saw this when i opened my new tub of pure last night - my friend thought my excitement was hysterical. i would really love a cream cheese that i don't have to travel miles to pick up though, which is what i would have to do now my little local place has been credit crunched. would be great if i could grab in the supermarket...

Great news, let's hope this is tasty.

Looks like Pure are trying to, errrr, spread the word about vegan food!

[bradders]

Mind if I throw up Marjorie for that last post?

[Marjorie Dawes]

No problem.

Love, Marj

[bradders]

Thank you

bllleeeeuuuurrrggggghhhhhhhh!
that's better

[Marjorie Dawes]

I think you're laying it on a bit thick there bradders...

Sorry, back on topic - good spot mchelle, I'm looking forward to trying this.

[bradders]

sorry, that's me I am thick.

indeed though I am looking forward tp trying this very much

They must have been bombarded with vegan enquiries. This is the email I received

Quick warning, some of the recipes labelled as vegan aren't actually vegan (like the orange profiteroles) so perhaps temper your excitement a bit, I was really dissapointed !

[KayJay]

Oh No! Thanks for the warning!

they have non-vegan recipes labelled vegan?! that's totally stupid.

[emzy1985]

I've seen these pure cheese thingies on our chill order list so expect them to be in Sainsbury's in the next few weeks. I'll see if I can get a sneak peak before they go out on shelf!

[jimmeh]

some of the recipes labelled as vegan aren't actually vegan

and the muesli bars are labelled vegan but they contain honey

[bradders]

I just got that you were talking about the recipes.

Have looked now and seen so have sent them an email, telling them to modify the recipe/ take off the vegan tick for those containing honey.

ooh fantastic ! im so excited i cant wait

[clare155]

Loads of the recipes contain eggs and are labelled vegan! How odd Ive just emailled them to see if they can change it, will let you know what they say.

[mchelle81]

anyone got any updates on these yet ? i keep looking but havnt found them yet

[emzy1985]

Nope!

[Linxie]

I'm waiting with bated breath for the cheese trianges!

[Mr Flibble]

That's better than cheese breath

[mchelle81]

i know i cant wait for the triangles either
i keep looking everytime i go in sainsburys, think i might scream when they are there, i just hope they keep stocking them because the sainsburys by me had the smoky sheese and i dont think anyone was buying it so they dont stock it in the one by me anymore

[hullabaloo]

I emailed them about 3 weeks ago about it and got no response

[cxmnz]

I would have thought that if they were placing info in with the margarine then the product was developed and ready to go, unless they were simply trying to gauge the demand for it before investing too much in its development. I'd have thought the excitement I've seen here would be sufficient demand to spur them on a bit!

[Stu]

The buggers are teasing us with these 'coming soon' adverts!

We can already get cheese slices (which is great), so it's the triangles that I'll be interested in sampling.

I'm hoping they won't be too expensive, especially since Pure is reasonably priced. I expect they'll be fairly dear at first, but the price will drop later if they're a success.

[Stu]

To clarify: I mean other brands (e.g. Tofutti); not the forthcoming Pure ones.

I could really go for one of them right now. I always feel so naughty eating them, perhaps it's because I was never allowed cheese slices as a child?

Tofutti slices are one of the most disgusting things ever invented so i seriously hope these Pure ones will be more edible

oohhhh i was so excited for a split second reading that then thought o they out then o well seems like a few weeks since i seen it so hopefully they should be out soon i keep looking

when i first tried tofutti cheese slices i thought they were gross but then i tried the mozzerella slices melted on a sausage sandwich since then i think they great

It's all relative, the dairy based cheese slices don't taste like the dairy cheese they are supposed to represent, and neither do the Tofutti ones. On the up side, the Tofutti ones don't taste like the floor mats out of a 1987 Ford Fiesta like the dairy ones do.

I laughed so much I nealy fell off the bed! It's so simple yet effective!

[Nyx]

Grrrrr. The organic version still has palm.

[Zero]

Apparently PURE are working towards a sustainable Palm Oil source

[f2097]

Is it bad that I check this thread almost daily to see if anyone has been able to get the cheese triangles yet :/

[jackie]

i opened my pure butter this morning and it said coming soon pure cheese slices and triangles how exciting is that or is it old news well im pleased

wow that's excellent, thanks for telling us

[jackie]

Great news, let's hope this is tasty.

hehe very good!

[jackie]

Grrrrr. The organic version still has palm.

isn't this vegan?? what is it?

[Risker]

^ It's vegan, but some people avoid it for other reasons

[mchelle81]

Is it bad that I check this thread almost daily to see if anyone has been able to get the cheese triangles yet :/

no its not i get the email alerts when anyone replys to this thread and everytime i get an email i get so excited thinking some one has found them but its not happened yet hopefully not long now

[sandra]

Tofutti slices are one of the most disgusting things ever invented so i seriously hope these Pure ones will be more edible

I agree. I much prefer the Cheezly slices..............I hope the Pure ones are nice as they would be easier to get if sold in the supermarket!

[sandra]

Sorry Mchelle81!

I didn't see your post until I posted mine...........I got your hopes up again, didn't I?

[Mr Flibble]

thank you for your e-mail.

We don't have an official release date for the new pure cheese yet. However the product will be available in all major supermarkets. The product will be suitable for vegans and there will be further updates on our website www.puredairyfree.co.uk.

If you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail or by telephone on 0800 028 4499.

Yours sincerely

[mchelle81]

LOL just got excited again

[Maisiepaisie]

I don't like Tofutti either but my son love them. Didn't know there were any Cheezly slices though. Where do you buy those Sandra?

[sandra]

I get them in my health food shop in Belfast MaisiePaisie!

They are super melting too and are great for making 'cheese' on toast!
They usually keep them right beside the blocks of Cheezly in the chilled cabinets.

[Nyx]

Thanks zero for that info. Good to know. But I'm wondering if palm oil (or anything cultivated in a rainforest) is ever sustainable. It just seems impossible. I'm still checking into it though.

Ty Risker for even bringing them up!

i don't care whether the slices taste like dairy cheese - i never liked dairy cheese slices either - i just don't want them to make me feel like vomiting when they get within six inches of my nose! i've never sampled Ford Fiesta floor mats so i'll take your word for that.

I agree. I much prefer the Cheezly slices..............I hope the Pure ones are nice as they would be easier to get if sold in the supermarket!

i'm glad someone agrees with me! Cheezly slices seem to be very hard to find down here so i always have to buy the blocks.
