I make this berbere spiced stew a lot. A big pot will do me for lunches all week.
I don't mind eating the same thing every day when it's this good:

I'll be having a crack at this next week - Berbere spice ordered, maybe get some Inerja bread to go with it.

where did u get your spice from? thanksA few recent experiences.
Good
Kings jerky. Very impressive on taste and texture: https://amzn.to/2w4gcdc They sell it in Aldi for a quid if you have one local. I bought some more. You don't get many in the packet so the price mimics the real thing.
I think they are taking the piss on value, jumping on the vegan bandwagon because it's basically soya pieces so not expensive if you buy similar things in oriental food shops.
Bad
Gro's bean burger. Bloody awful. It was like chewing through congealed porridge. I think they packed it too much. Tasted nice, though.
Some branded vegan sausage roll thing. Forget the brand, sorry, but it was cold out of the cooler section in Sainsbury's. I just ate it cold and it was like biting through wood pulp that had been soaked and then dried. Didn't taste great, either. Pork sausage rolls are fine when eaten cold, even the value/basics versions.

I personally don't think it's that hot, but it is a heat which lingers.
I posted it earlier, but I'd recommend these... really nice.

Had these for dinner last night with some fries, very good as an actual burger, not a burger pretending to be a "beef burger"
They look and sound good. I know we aren't allowed to ask about the Protein... But do you have the macros for those?

Just to point out their burger seems to have no bulbs.
In fact more flowers have bulbs than veg....

I don't really want to use palm oil thanks. I'd rather use humble vegetables that were grown in my back yard thanks. You are on the non meat gravy train.
