    Hey, thanks for reviewing our products. Our Vegan Black Pudding took a few years to develop and get right (to get it as close as possible to our traditional black pudding) and we find many of our customers agree that it's not too far off, the recipe still uses our secret herbs/spices mix 🙌
    Since we launched the product in 2017, our sales have increased month by month and we finally launched into ASDA in October last year. Price for the 220g VP roll is £1.25 - this is an extra 25p to our traditional slices (as show in the video and prices as of 04.05.2022) which compared to other brands, is competitive to their non vegan product.
    We thank you for the video and if anyone has any questions, please feel free to reply to this 👍 Thanks, Team BBP

    My doctor told me to eat black pudding as the iron tablets weren't helping enough, and I dutifully ate my way though a dozen cows worth of Stornoway Black Pudding. I now consider it on the same level as any other medicine, and when I see it on a restaurant menu I have a moment of disconnection in the same sort of way you would if you saw "Lemsip Ice Cream" or "Lasagna Al Pepto Bismol"

      Yeah I find a lot of vegans try a bit too hard to preach how good something is, from the angle of "You have no excuse to not be vegan now!" when the product is...just not that great?
      More power to those that enjoy them but the only vegan product I've tried so far that pulls it off is Beyond Meat and given that it costs £5 for two burgers here that's not exactly an affordable substitute.

Linda McCartney mince is also really good - not quite as good as beyond mince, but much cheaper and probably my second favourite. You can often find beyond burgers on offer at Tesco for £3 which is when I buy them. Aldi's vegan fish fingers are good, if you're into fish fingers. Actually, a lot of Aldi's vegan stuff is really good, especially for the price. I'm trying to think through all of the products I've tried now to find the good ones...

      @@mrcheesemunch Yeah I get that they're still a bit pricey. The way I see it is that (ethics aside) whether we eat animals or not we certainly shouldn't be eating anywhere near as much meat products as we do due to health and environmental concerns, so paying a bit extra now and again isn't too bad. Having them as treat every so often seems to be the way to go, and eating meat substitutes for every meal wouldn't be healthy at all, as nice as they are. That's sort of how I justify buying them, just having them now and again. I think the price will come down though, as more and more people buy them.
      Oh definitely try the Richmond sausages, they're great, and pretty cheap. They taste identical. Atomic Shrimp did a review of them I believe. I'm with you on the cocktail sausages, too. Have you seen the Sauce Stache channel? He's a chef who focuses on meat substitutes and reviews all kinds and shows you how to make your own, which can work out a lot cheaper

    Pronunciation of Bury *sigh*. OK, I researched this because I was always taught: _Bury St Edmunds_ = 'Berry'; _Bury, Lancs_ = 'Burry'. It seems like some locals of the place now pronounce it 'berry' and of course I will not argue with a local on the pronunciation of their home town.
    I suppose it would have helped if the people of Bury could agree with *each other* though.

      Speaking as a fellow "southerner wuss", I've always pronounced any appearance of "Bury" as "berry". How have you been pronouncing "Sainsbury's" (as in the UK supermarket / grocery store chain for our overseas colleagues here) all this time then?

      I think, having grown up in "Berry" that the Lancashire accent travelled up the valley, towards Lancashire proper. I always considered "Berry" part of Gtr Manchester, but as long as I;ve been alive it's technically Lancashire, and maybe this is where the assumption that a "Burry" accent should be the same as a Burnley or Blackburn accent. County lines are a pain in the arse.

      If you check the "fake meats" section at your local supermarket, you can sometimes find a brand called "VIV ERA", which does a variety of vegan "meat" products, but one of their best offerings is the vegan "shawarma" kebab meat. If you fry some off in a pan and then serve it in a pitta bread with the usual kebab garnishes, it's actually quite good. On a par with chicken doner meat, I would say - but far less greasy than the "lamb" doner meat. The texture isn't precisely accurate, but the flavour is about right - enough that it works for me.

Often found in restaurants that serve breakfast and lunch, but are almost always available in well-stocked stores. But we usually bake these to be eaten the same day. I have made a lot of such breads for breakfast in a restaurant.

    I am a vegan and I enjoy this product. I like it along side some mushrooms fried in the vegan spreadable you showed, on toast. I too find the black pudding to be under seasoned, and add some freshly cracked black pepper and a sprinkle of msg whilst the slices are cooking. And I have tomato ketchup on the side, and a nice cup of tea. I have also used this product to make Brussels sprouts and black pudding fried rice, which was nice.

    I usually eat Black Pudding cold, often in a ploughmans style meal. I like it fried, but I also like the taste of the cold sausage. I've been finding it hard to get "proper" black pudding as the type sold in supermarket deli's tends to be puree without the nice lumps of fat, and butchers seem to be becoming rare, and often don't stock it unless you ask nicely. The pre-packaged black puddings on supermarket shelves are vary variable in my experience.

      You mean "just egg"? It's looks a lot like scrambled eggs, but the flavor isn't even remotely similar. It's also not a complete protein, so you still have to get the missing amino acids somewhere else. That's important to know: don't just replace real eggs with fake ones and expect the same nutrition.

    I can't stress enough how happy it makes me that you pronounce Bury correctly, I am constantly 'corrected' by smarmy know-it-alls from across the country who don't know the etymology of the word. Bury comes from the Old English Byrgan by the way, and when it transformed into Bury kept it's original Burr pronunciation in that region of the country. Elsewhere such as the mid-lands and the south people started to say Birry, and Berry, until due to London-centrism the incorrect Berry began to dominate and spread up north. Despite this however, Bury is pronounced Buh-ry and no amount of condescending twaddle from the south will ever change that

However, if you think you're gonna be able to eat both anyways, you should eat the best first, since the deliciousness from it being the "best" will stack multiplicatively with the deliciousness from you being hungrier, elevating both your roof and average values of pleasure during the full meal
