Witty review of Meatless Butcher shops and their products:

Tom tests the fake meat- so you don't have to!

A sample of 10 reviews:

Sainsbury’s Love Your Veg! Shroomballs, £2.50 for 12

What are they? A meatball alternative made from mushroom and jackfruit.

Nutritional information: 141kcal for four balls, 1.6g saturated fat, 1.2g sugar, 0.95g salt

My verdict: I can’t taste mushroom or jackfruit in these boring little balls, which are a study in blandness. Why would you want to put this in your mouth? A waste of jaw energy.

Rating:

Sainsbury’s Love Your Veg! Green Supreme Shroomdogs, £3.50 for ten

What are they? Mushroom sausages blended with spinach, minted peas and avocado.

Nutritional information: 116kcal per serving, 1.7g saturated fat, 1.2g sugar, 1.07g salt

My verdict: You can taste the mint, and not much else, save a mushy mess with a bitter tang. Less said about these the better.

Rating:

Vivera Veggie Steak, £3.50 for two, Sainsbury’s

What are they? Steak substitute made of soya and wheat protein, with iron and Vitamin B12.

Nutritional information: 222kcal per serving, 5g saturated fat, 1.9g sugar, 1.4g salt

My verdict: Dry, bland and joyless, with a mealy texture. If this is a steak substitute, then I’m Jennifer Lawrence. For a veggie-based product it’s surprisingly high in saturated fat – 5g – the same you’d expect in a real rump steak.

But wait, there's more,.....
