    Just ordered a box of Vital Wheat gluten to collect on Saturday. Will make my own seitan - wheat meat. €20 for a whole box that will make enough seitan to last me for around 6 - 8 months. Don't eat it everyday but make up my own bacon, burgers, mince, cubes, sausages and keep them in the freezer until needed. Takes a few minutes to make it but once done it's fast, cheap and good food with all the flavour that I like.

    Where do you get the gluten? How much do you get for €20?

    I get the Suma brand of Vital Wheat gluten, 6 x 500g and have an order with M Cosgrove & Son, Sligo, https://www.facebook.com/Cosgrovesdelicatessen, who get me it by the box.

    Great shop, great service.

    Thanks guys, I have bought from iherb and similar before, will try to buy in bulk, as the last bag I bought in Down to Earth was over a tenner for 500g - I love the range of products they have in that shop, but it's incredibly expensive!

    And back on topic, hope to pick up some more Moodley burgers this weekend!

    You're welcome. Most shops will buy in bulk for you if you ask and, give a discount on retail prices which saves delivery costs from online purchases.

    I just checked Down to Earth €12.70 for 500g, a lot of their prices are a lot more than I would be paying for similar products here. Don't forget to check out the Indian, Asian stores who do really fresh food, herbs and spices at a reasonable price.

    We don't have Moodley here - maybe they should contact Cosgroves, Tua Nua, Pat Brophy in Boyle Co Roscommon, there's a good shop in Carrick on Shannon too , just can't remember the name of the shop.

    Yeah I was in last week and they had the last few boxes of the ones they had gotten in reduced cause they were on their use by date and it doesn't seem they've bought anymore in yet anyway.

    Wow, would definitely be interested in trying the roast. Is it stocked in any shops or is it online order only?

    Afaik it's just online. But i'd say if you contacted Moodleys they'd probably ship it out to one of their stockists close to you!

    I very excitedly picked up a pack of burgers and sausages a few weeks ago when I saw them in Supervalu...but wasn't impressed, to be honest. The burgers were a good texture but rather tasteless, and the sausages I only had one bite of and didn't like at all. They had a weird flavour I just immediately disliked.

    I will try the rashers though, and there's a Cafe near me that serves the range for Veggies so I'll prob try the range there again, just to see if maybe it was how I prepared the food that made them odd. Maybe I did it wrong? BF reckoned the sausages tasted uncooked, but I dunno.

    I found the same when I started buying Dee's vegan sausages, took a while to learn to cook them right. (Pan fried, coconut oil)

    I finally got a pack of the Moodley sausages yesterday and I have to say, like the burgers and rashers, there's an aftertaste I just don't like. Consistency is ok, I accept there's limitations there but across the Moodley range there is a finish in the flavour which is really awful... I have to stress that I'm not a fussy eater at all, almost anything meat-free is good but I won't be buying these again for a while.
    for reference I do like Dees Vegan sausages and often order good ol' Sosmix in bulk from the UK.
    Please guys, as I'm pretty much your target market take this as feedback not criticism.

    Wouldn't really know. They only seem to sell them in Dublin, Cork etc. None to be found here in the West. I've asked them countless times about it and they've never given me an answer as to whether they'd be distributing them in the West.

    Ì rang Nourish`in Wicklow St the other week and asked if they had the Moodley bacon in stock. They told me they dont stock it anymore. I got mine from Down to Earth instead.

    Anyone know why Moodleys have increased their prices so drastically? My sausages were once €3.99 now they are €5.99, everything in their store has gone way up. Am I missing something, have the package size increased?

    No idea, they haven't changed as far as I know, kinda put them in the far too expensive range for me!

    I had noticed that too, it seemed like they are cheaper in the shops than on their site. I guess for them it's quite important that people buy them in shops.

    They shut down, heard some rumours why but nothing concrete. Pity, they were doing great.

    That's a pity. I was planning on getting some of their stuff - Bacon, Burgers, Chick-Hun, Deli Salami Slices, Roast.
