Veggie Christmas roasts

Antilles

Can anyone suggest somewhere in Dublin (or that delivers to Dublin) I could get a nice vegetarian/vegan Christmas roast to cook on Christmas day?

I'm looking for something like the Gardein Holiday Roast, or the Field Roast's Celebration Roast, but can't find them for sale anywhere here. The closest I've found is the Quorn beef roast but Quorn has a nasty aftertaste

I’m not familiar with the ones you’ve mentioned, but we’ve ordered a roulade to collect from Sova. M&S also has a vegan range this year.

moodleymanor:

"We've had a lot of requests for the roast this year and we will be making a few batches and supplying them through #BeastEatery before Christmas.

The 1000g roast we've made the last few years will be the same sausage stuffed delicious centrepiece which serves between 4 and 10 people depending on how hungry you are lol

If you would like one, please email info@beasteatery.com with ROAST X (number you would like).

We will get back to you as soon as your order is confirmed with a payment link and a collection date.

It will be first come, first served. ��"

Blazing Salads and Planted Bean both have decent looking Christmas menus to order:

Planted bean is great food! roast for 11e sounds good, and their red wine gravy.

I think Vegan Sandwich Co is doing a roast for collection or delivery. If you've ever had his sausage, bacon, egg and cheese mcmuffin then I think it is safe to assume he will do a great vegan roast too.

Unfortunately, I am away for Christmas so didn't order from him and it is possible it could be too late.

Sova vegan butcher are doing one too

Does anyone have a tried and trusted recipe? I'm in Limerick so can't get to most places suggested before going home for Xmas.

Bosh have a couple of recipes for "beef" Wellington and various other things - they're on youtube (boshtv) and Facebook.

Why are things that are vegan called bacon or beef when they are not. Just curious

Bosh call it a mushroom wellington on their channels.

But sure the terms are used for familiarity I would imagine.

Ya you could be right. I was not taking a swipe at Bosh. Just the post said beef.

Oh I know

They are just called that so as to know what to expect - a flavour profile, a texture etc, since they are what they are trying to imitate. Easier for people than some random name.

I agree but I have seen some packages and some seem misleading as to that. I must say I have tried a few things are nice and this from a non vegan. Also this is not the place for this as it's about Christmas so I will leave it so as not to drag the topic off course. Sorry mods if I have

In the video I was referring to, they (Bosh) used plant based burgers something like a beyond burger mashed up and rolled into a log to form the "beef" part, then rolled it in mushrooms and pastry. I often refer to milk, butter etc; I mean a vegan alternative of course but it's a bit less of a mouthful to say!

Here's the video:
