    Happy new year :)

    So it's that time of year of again. I've noticed this year there is a lot happening.

    KFC have launched a vegan burger since yesterday made from Quorn. Subway have launched a new vegan meat ball and cheese sub.

    Anyone seen anything else?

    I want to keep this thread free from meat and dairy lobbying so only vegans/vegetarians or people wanting to try out veganuary to reply please

    I would also like to point out that there needs to be a reason for restricting a thread to certain posters, a thread about new vegan food products can't/shouldn't be restricted, there is no reason for any debate to take place. If there are posts that are off that topic they can be dealt with.

    Tried the Aldi brand pizzas and they're very, very good...and not a rip off for a change, which is unusual when it comes to vegan pizza!

    Where did you see the Chicago Town one? That looks great.

    Edit...Sorry, I see you said Iceland. Gotta try one of those.

    My local has 3 different types of Pizzas. Vegan Magnum Icecream knock-offs. Vegan sausages. Vegan jambons. Vegan jaffrezi jacket potatoes. I've seen they have vegan pasties on their UK website, but haven't seen them here yet.

    The pizzas are top notch. The nicest frozen vegan pizzas I've had and only €2 each.

    Agree the lidl selections are a bit underwhelming compared to aldi. Their vegan pizza is very disappointing.

    Subway have their vegan meatless meatball marinara with vegan cheese. Having had the meatball marinara a few years ago, I have to say I found it delicious. €6.50 for the footlong.

    Also, Carrot's Tail in Rathmines have rejigged their brunch menu and are offering this epic cheesebomb burger https://www.instagram.com/p/B637yMUn7fO/?igshid=1tynsu3i2glmd

    First time in KFC for a long time.

    Got 3 of the Vegan Chicken Burgers.

    We have the seasonal flu so can't tell about the taste or smell
    but overall it is a good experience.

    They could put more lettuce on it.

    €5.10 per burger.

    I hear it's freely customisable, I'd add more lettuce and mayo from the feedback I've heard.

    I had the cheesebomb burger today. Delicious and very satisfying to have so much cheese oozing out. The cheese is a recipe with potato and carrot (plenty of cheese sauces on YouTube with the same recipe) and has an excellent cheesey taste. Makes a good Instagram post too.

    Speaking of Instagram, if anyone is trying out Veganuary and is leaning more towards cooking from scratch,

    @plantd.co @earthofmaria and @cookingforpeanuts are three accounts I really like. They do have their own sites and try and sign you up to newsletters for more recipes and stuff but they all post clearly worded, easy to follow, tasty, nutritious full recipes on insta as well. One of them (I think it's plantd) can tend to include ingredients that are difficult to find sometimes but they'd be a really excellent starting point and inspiration for someone starting out who might be a bit intimidated by the thought of vegan cooking.

    Also, Happy Pear's YouTube channel is excellent. They also have recipes for alternatives to meat and dairy food hings e.g. chicken nuggets from cashew nuts and porridge oats and mozarella from cashew nuts and arrow root.

    I've had one of the Aldi BBQ bacon pizzas - was really nice (I added more cheese though as I had some Daiya mozzarella shreds in the fridge). Has anyone tried the chicago town one? The fudge brownie ice cream is lovely.

    M&S have added a lot of new items to their Plant Kitchen range. They now have 100 products in that range, which apparently is the biggest vegan range of all the supermarkets.

    Abrakebabra posted a mysterious Instagram story yesterday with the word "Impossible" in it and outlining that something will be revealed tomorrow. Some type of vegan menu item is a possibility. We'll find out shortly.
