Inexpensive vegan chicken?

    I recently went from vegetarian to vegan and I'm having trouble finding chicken that doesn't cost an arm and a leg :( Most of the vegetarian meats I used to have contain egg and milk, except for Linda Mc Cartney sausage rolls and hotdogs I have. I NEED CHICKEN! Preferably a chicken burger or chicken breast.

    Fry's do good vegan mock meats. They have 'chicken' burgers, nuggets and strips. You should be able to get them in most health food shops. They're not inexpensive though, they go for about €4-€5 a box.

    The asia market in Drury Street do a 'yoke' that looks like half of a small chicken and is, I think, made from seitan or plant gluten. It's interesting :rolleyes: , not unpleasant certainly, a little rubbery but nice with saucy beans or a gravy/sauce. Down the back with their other veggie frozen products.

    That sounds really good, thanks:) I'll try it. I do enjoy chickeny things. And seitan's supposed to be really healthy.

    Linda McCarthy stuff is vegan (or maybe only some of it?). I like their sausage rolls. I'm on the lookout for new things myself. Fry's stuff is good but like you said, you can get sick of having the same things.
