Am I the only one that was really unimpressed with these? Had them about a year ago and they were so flavourless. Really disappointed.

Initially I didn't like them but I came 'round.

I found them alright but since discovering the Linda McCartney mozzarella burgers I haven't had them.

Have you tried the Dee ready meals that she does? I think they're superb really tasty and with a nice kick to them way spicier than her "spicy" burgers. I had the Chilli one the other day - delish!

I didn't enjoy them either, had to force myself to finish them.

Agree very expensive and taste of nothing really.. I ended up dumping the 2nd one in the pack also

Just wanna say thanks for the heads up on the Linda McCartney mozzarella burgers in tesco..picked up two boxes today, would have stocked up more but my freezer is tiny! The offer is on until the 26th

No, I'd have to agree with you there. Didn't like them at all. I had one ages ago when they first stocked them, so I can't quite remember what it was I didn't like, only that I refused to eat the second one in the pack and whoever I cooked it for didn't eat it either!

Hah hah! I think I must have plied them onto someone else as well because I don't remember eating the second one, or if I did I must have blocked out that memory!

not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet as I'm a first time poster on this particular forum, but saw Tesco offering two items from their Veggieburger range for €3 when I was in their store in Rush tonight (Cheese & Leek "sausages" and Spicy Bean Burger) -- I'm sure the deal extends to their other stores?

Thanks John, sounds great.

I was in tesco jervis centre today and this wasnt on offer

We did pick up some of those Dee's tub meals in dunnes to try while they're at the reduced price (1.99) though.

Also noticed the quorn roasts were only €3 in iceland, a lot of other quorn products have gone up in price recently though

And ye I did go into town to eat and then spent the rest of the time looking at food :P

dee. · 01-04-2012 8:46pm

^i bought one of those meals last week too, the tex mex bean one...delish!! I didn't expect it to be so nice, mostly because I hated Dees burgers. Won't be buying them when they go back up to full price though.

christeb · 03-04-2012 1:27pm

Baskets of kiwi fruit, bags of carrots and parsnips are €0.22c right now in Lidl (Cork Street at least).

bambera · 15-04-2012 4:14pm

Tesco website have Linda sausages €2.59 now €1.50. I'm sure the offer would be in store too.

Also 33% off the tesco vegelious bean burgers (€1.60).

darconio · 15-04-2012 7:28pm

Tesco have also the frozen quorn range at 3 for 7 euro.
Quite disappointing to see the price on this deal increased by 1 euro since they last had it in store.
Still not bad when buying 3 bags of meatballs, but you hardly get any saving if going for the quorn pieces

Tar.Aldarion · 15-04-2012 7:31pm

Yeah the extra euro made it not worth it, the meatballs are way overpriced anyway.

Those bean burgers are lovely!

dee. · 15-04-2012 8:25pm

Does anyone know of any stores that sell Linda McCartney other than tesco and dunnes? Really want to try sausages from that range.

Superquinn, Hopsack some Centras

Tar.Aldarion · 15-04-2012 8:47pm

Iceland too. Think they are generally that price in there anyway, but may be a 5 pack.

Eurospar (in Dalkey anyway) tend to have them, but not at that reduced price.

Thoushaltnot · 21-04-2012 8:50am

Thanks for posting about the recent deals, especially the Tesco 3 for €7 on frozen Quorn stuff not-so-great deal, people (till end of the April). Also, Iceland seem to be taking the mick at the mo, apart from the Quorn roasts (€4.50) and Linda McCarthy stuff.

Anyhow, Dunnes have Quorn frozen quarterpounders for €2 and frozen bag of sausages for €1.50, also till the end of the month.

Nyum Nyum · 28-04-2012 2:21pm

Just to add on to Thoushaltnot's post: Dunnes in Arklow also have Quorn Tuna Style Fishcakes for €1 (2 cakes in a pack) and Quorn Fishless Fingers for €1 (8 in a pack)

Don't know if this would be nationwide too.

Tar.Aldarion · 28-04-2012 7:06pm

quorn roasts in tesco are 2.50

Wurly · 29-04-2012 10:56pm

New Linda McCartney sausages alert!!!!! 'Italian Style Sausages' now in Tesco at €2.39 a box. We had them for breakfast this morning - fabulous!!!:)

Wurly · 03-05-2012 10:15pm

More new products found in Tesco Rathmines today.

Linda McCartney leek and asparagus tarts
Linda McCartney Tuscan topped chicken style fillets.

Think both are around €3 each.

Very exciting stuff.:)

Tar.Aldarion · 03-05-2012 10:51pm

Had the chicken, quite liked it. Nice little vegetable tomato sauce on top

dee. · 04-05-2012 8:47am

Got quorn sticky fillets (BBQ flavour) in my local tesco yesterday, they're new in. I usually make my own sauces from scratch but they'll be handy for days when I'm feeling a bit lazy

haven't tried them yet but they look nice. Also picked up a box of the new Linda McCartney Italian sausages, will be having two for lunch later

it's so exciting when I see new products in the veggie section. Now if only Dunnes would expand their range too

Steven81 · 08-05-2012 9:27pm

Had the Linda Italian sausages when i was in England last september, absolutely fab so they were so was delighted to see them here. I dont know if they will be permanent but much nicer thn others.

What are the other products like, leek and asparagus looks good on the box anyway

fillefatale · 10-05-2012 7:09pm

Had a leek and asparagus tart last night. Pleasant enough, tasted more of egg and leak than asparagus really. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to get it again.

dee. · 10-05-2012 8:14pm

The quorn BBQ fillets and Linda McCartney sausages are so nice, glad I bought them. Has anyone tried the Linda McCartney tuscan chicken style fillets?

I have and I really didn't like them. They taste like dog food.:(
