My Woolworths (Narrabri) Took the mince,Strips,Luncheon and Rashers off the shelves...now they only have sausages and patties.

It's So Anoying!

i tried the mince in the packet last year... have they changed it since then? i didn't really like the texture, it's all bitsy.... weird. i stick to using the tinned casserole mince for my bolognese.... YUMMY!!!! i use it for shepherds pie and lots of other things too.
the schnitzels are my favourite. i eat them all the time.

the best though is the not dogs! oh how good they are. grab some mini bread rolls (you know the ones you bake at home) and some not dogs, whack em together then grab some not bacon, baby spinach, an onion, dijionnaise (or just mustard if youre vegan) and cheese (yes, we all use non-animal rennet cheese)....
fry up the diced bacon and onion, throw on top of your hot dog and top with cheese and dijionnaise... you will die and go to heaven. every single meat eater ive made eat these has said the same thing!
these products are wonderful, i just wish they would stock them in more supermarkets!

mmm the not dogs recipe sounds so yummy!!

I tried the tinned mince chunks, but I just couldn't stomach it, it smelled like dog food :-(

I_miss_Quorn:
I miss Quorn!!!! australia has no idea about tasty vegetarian food. ive just moved back from UK where i lived for 6 years. Quorn is a mushroom based product that is so yummy and versatile. so many different items to choose from. since ive been back in sydney i have had trouble finding more than 4 or 5 items at my local supermarkets to use i fear i will have to start from scratch again and make everything myself which is hard cause im lazy.
i have written to quorn in the uk and unfortunately they have no plans as yet to introduce their products to australia due to lack of interest by the supermarkets. you would think that as australia is becoming more and more multicultural with more vegetarian people arriving...oh well...vegies are a minority here unlike uk where the percentage of vegies is much higher.
just a shame i cant import it myself...

I miss Quorn tooooooo!!! I wrote to them as well and they told me the same thing, so I wrote to Santitarium and someone from there called me to explain why they can't sell Quorn here, something about trademarks and blah blah, but they have a product manager or something who used to work for Quorn which is cool, so they are doing their best to bring in similar type products. Have you seen the new Roast Loaf? I haven't tried it yet, got two in the fridge - from what I've heard its nice.

I miss the vegetarian range available in the UK *pout* people here just don't know what they are missing out on!!!!! :)

Oh, try the vege hot dogs wrapped in puff pastry and bake in the oven, serve with tomato or bbq sauce, great snack. Or have with mashed potatoes and corn or wedges and a salad for a great meal.

Country hotpot (in the tin/can) is also great for shepherds pie. I add tomato paste and tomato sauce instead of curry and use shortcrust pastry for the base. Yum! Even hubby loves it!

Vegie mince: I make bolognese, shepherds pie and caseroles.

Vegie strips: OMG I LOVE these, for stir frys (especially nice with hoi sin sauce) and also I make them in a goulash and it's fantastic!!!!!!!!!

Vegie hot dogs: Fry them up with onion and serve with mayo and cheese in a hot dog bun

Vegie "facon": So versatile. Facon and eggs etc, or fry them up quickly, let them cool and make FLT sandwiches (facon, lettuce, cheese)

Vegie sausages: Sausage and mash LOL, devilled sausages mmmmm

Wow the list is endless.............

mmmmm schnitzels are yummy! I too love schnitzel sandwichs.

Not burger, burgers are awesome also!

Fake bacon & egg muffins are delish!

love the mince....not in everything though because it's a bit dry. What probably I hate most about it is the fact, it's all compressed and I have to get my hands dirty to seperate the pieces....

as for the other products:

schnitzels- my all time fave. Love having these in with a roast or a schnitzel sandwich

hot dogs - close to my all time fave. I ate these before turning vego and enjoy that these taste better than the real thing! :D

rashers - starting to love these when I heat them up.

not burgers - something different but nice in a sandwich

chicken style burgers - great.

stir fry strips - not keen on. not sure exactly why.

sausages...hmm they don't really taste nice. they taste a bit weird...I would love a chilli version (not the chicken one - that's weird)

Pot Roast (new) - not bad. The glaze rub was messy and the flavour of the fake meat, was a little weird. Not bad though. Different flavour glazes would be good. Pre-glazed even better...

Doesn't anyone else used the canned Casserole Mince for Bolognese? That's what I've been doing for years.

Tofu stir fries are much more fun - they soak up more flavour than "meat" and it tastes better!
