Re: Teatime Choices
Its a forerunner of the Leatherman/ Swiss army knife multi tool from, the turn of the century (19th to 20th). At that time the mail in Uk was still moved around/delivered by horse drawn carriage and this tool was issued to the posties by the royal mail to deal with any problems with the leather and wooden components on the vehicle. Unfortunately for the last 55 years only the corkscrew has seen any action!!

Re: Teatime Choices
Unable to decide, so Super Bowl Sunday supper is battered shrimp, battered corned beef hash, chicken wings and the hot new BE fad, bacon wrapped sprouts. I missed the first 7 minutes of the game cooking it.

Re: Teatime Choices
I had one of these tonight - really tasty! I had the 'beet' one.. really good with a hint of spice

Had one tonight. Surprising the alternative cook methods, even in the pop-toaster.
I fried it in a little butter and tasted a little on its own before I put it in my bun with onion, ketchup and mustard. If someone had told me it was meat, I'd have believed it.
Looking forward to trying the curry one.

(found them on Save On's website, $8.99)
The beyond meat burger is pretty good at A & W and I had the beyond meat products in the US before and they are not bad overall, I think in Canada A & W is the only option though, don't think they are sold in store here yet.

Re: Teatime Choices
How much do they run? I see on their website a couple of smaller chains sell them close to me, but not chains I would normally go to, but maybe if they are not overly expensive might be worth checking them out.

Perhaps worth it more if the other versions are significantly different, like the curry one.
Saying that, I sometimes sweat some onion with Jamaican curry powder and add whatever leftover veg I have. Very cheap thing to do.

Re: Teatime Choices
Ouch at both your prices! I bought mine at Metro for $6.99! (I bought the beet and curry ones) - both very tasty.. and a nice alternative to my usual fish (I only have chicken once a week and no red meat at all) - if they are normally around $9 then I'd better go and buy a few and put them in the freezer, lol. I had a beet one tonight cut into small pieces and added to a huge salad
You can get the beyond meat burgers at a few places, again not cheap though... The yamchops people will ship anywhere in Canada, but UPS so not cheap for shipping I expect!

Re: Teatime Choices
BC prices are usually higher vs ON. Does not help that none if the lower priced stores seem to carry it here. Urban Fare, Whole Foods, Choices and Save on so none are exactly low cost. Lol

Re: Teatime Choices
Mrs Jings made this fantastic soup yesterday... Chicken, turmeric and lentil .We didn't have fresh turmeric so she used ground (I have no idea what fresh turmeric even looks like!) and we used Quorn pieces instead of chicken, because daughter is veggie. And green lentils instead of red.
It was truly amazing.

Re: Teatime Choices
Very handy stuff, Quorn. I used to buy it as 'chicken' breasts, ground or chunks.
Particularly good were the 'breast' versions into a casserole pot, with a few splashes of Lea and Perrins garlic sauce and into the microwave.
Can't get it in Canada
