This has probably come up many times already but I cannot find anything up to date with a search. Have any of. you tasted any of the ready. made vegetarian options in the supermarkets. I will be entertaining a vegetarian this year. He says he is h happy to feast on the sides we will have but I would like a single portion vegetarian main course option too. A few years ago I saw these reviewed on afternoon tv but needless to say I didn't take note then! Anyone able to help? I am close to most supermarket chains so that isn't a difficulty

Check the vegan and vegetarian forum, I'm sure there are great ideas in there.

LIDL have vegan and vegetarian frozen nut roasts which are very nice, based on family member reviews!

Second these. We have used them in the past for vegan guests and got another one the other day for this year as well. Always go down well.

I like them, too, if I'm honest. Full of flavour and very "umami-ish".

I nearly forgot! I haven't seen it around in a long time, but every time I've had the Quorn roast I've always found it delicious.

No, I used to get it in Dunnes and Tesco, but Lidl has other Quorn products.

I found the M&S vegan nut roast pretty nasty last year. Definitely not getting it again this year.
