I have been a vegetarian now for over 15 years. In this time I can safely say Ive tried almost every meat free and meat equivalent product that Tescos, Sainsbury's and Asda have to offer. One thing with meat I have always hated is mine meat. If I ever go back to eating meat, I will never eat this, I think its is smelly and disgusting. It is for these reasons that quite a few meat eaters I know substitute mince for either this product or the quorn mince.

I tried the quorn mince product in a few things, spaghetti bolognaise, and lasagne (for example) and quite enjoyed it. Next time I went to buy it, I saw this was available and it appeared to be a similar product and was much cheaper. Having now tried the Tesco product, I will always buy this one unless the Quorn one is on special offer, as there didnt seem any difference to me.

The mince comes in a plastic bag. I am not sure if the bag is recyclable or not. The mice itself comes in small even shaped shunks. I have only ever cooked this mince by frying it. It only takes a few minutes, mainly to defrost it. It can then be added to any sort of dish you like. The taste itself is a little bland, but it is non offensive and the dishes I cook it in have added flavour anyway. Cooking this mince has the added benfit that there is no disgusting small and there is no horrible juices that come out of it. This mince is very low calorie, so great for dieters.
