Quorn Vegetarian Mince 500g
Perfectly acceptable alternative to meat
Years ago I tried a soya mince which none of the family liked. We are not vegetarians but I thought I'd give this mince a go to try to reduce our intake of red meat. The look and texture are really indistinguishable from "real" mince, and I have to say that I can't detect any difference in flavour. However I am using it for chilli and bolognese sauce, both fairly strongly flavoured with herbs and spices, so I don't know whether I'd like it in a Shepherd's Pie or similar. I should add that I don't fry this veggie mince but always include quite a lot of chopped browned onions which might replace the flavour of well browned mince. My husband is a dedicated carnivore and has not noticed yet that he isn't eating meat in these dishes!

Morrisons Cauliflower Cheese 750g
Very disappointing
I really love cauliflower cheese and was looking forward to trying this. It's such a good idea, looked appetising and there was enough sauce but unfortunately it didn't taste of cheese at all. The variation in size of the pieces of cauliflower meant that some was soggy and some was too chewy. In the time it took to cook I could have put together a lovely cheesy sauce, cooked the vegetable and made it myself. I actually couldn't eat it and threw the whole pack away.
