Midweek Munchies

Hello hello! I have been busy with work, my PhD, and playing five million hours of Stardew Valley. Seriously, I know I am late to the party, but that game is seriously addictive. Anyone else play? Tell me about your farm!

But, here are some munchies!

Fry's used to make a sausage that had chunks of vegan cheese in it, that got all gooey and melty when you cooked them and was incredible. Then they stopped making them. I was hoping that these would be similar, but alas the cheese was not really noticeable. Other than that, they were a very good sausage. This brand makes good sausages, though I haven't seen these particular ones around since then, so maybe they stopped making this variety.





I have been loving this Masterfoods Corn Relish. The downside is it does have some bits of capsicum in it, but the upside is that you can't really tell it is in there.



Fry's vegan Brioche burgers are the very best for burger buns. But they have only been sporadically available of late. So if you can't find those, these make an adequate burger bun replacement. But make sure it is these gourmet ones, don't get the potato ones.



I found this flavoured TVP San Choy Bow on a very good sale, so once assessed that there was no chili in it I grabbed it to try. I served it as a bowl with rice and spinach rather than in lettuce cups, and topped it with hoisin sauce, fresh cucumber, and coriander. I wouldn't get it again unless it was on a super sale, but it was OK.





I also found these on sale. I couldn't decide if I like them or not. When I first tasted it, it was weird and kind of bitter, but then I couldn't stop eating them. So I guess I come down in favour of them!



I bought this Congee to take to hospital with me when I had my hysterectomy (just over a year since that joyous day!) in case there was nothing to eat in hospital, but I didn't need it because they fed me a lot. So in the spirit of using things up, I had it for lunch one day. It is not bad! Nice and savoury. Could definiely do with a bit of doctoring up if you are so inclined. But as is it makes a pretty good emergency snack.
