    I found this vegetarian gelatine in Tesco's today.
    I wonder has anyone used it in desserts and how it turned out.
    I have veggie friends who cant eat stuff with the normal gelatine in and I would like to try a few desserts for them. :D

    I imagine it should be fine if you use it instead of beef gelatine. I haven't tried it myself but it seems like a fine replacement. Agar flakes on the other hand are a harder replacement to work with...

    I was looking for this stuff and cannot find it in any tescos in town, I'm almost certain I've seen it in Tescos Clearwater before though. So if anyone knows where to get it in town let me know. I could get the agar flakes in nourish and down to earth but the cheapest place I saw them was fallon and byrne actually! But are they completely different to work with? Dont want to be wasting my money.

    Ended up getting 'gulaman' in my local indian shop. Just happened to see it beside the bars of agar agar. It just says gelling agent: E407 on the back which is carrageenan. It's in a powder form and does also contain sugar so I'm not sure if that's gona be a problem with what I'm using it for but the powder might also be easier to work with. But anyway, €1.20! And agar flakes were gona cost me nearly €9 in the health shops.
