        Well, I did say initial reaction. I bought them because I’m willing to try based on reviews.

        Delivery arriving tomorrow. Keen to have at least one go.

          wow

    • Member 0230 on 20/10/2020 - 22:09

      Okay so I had one this arvo, and to be frank if nobody told me anything I'd just say "it's a little different" and think nothing more of it.

      Bottom line: won't knowingly make a beeline for them, but they really are better than I thought!

  • yourmindisfancy on 19/10/2020 - 11:11

    They're pretty good. The meat ones already contain soy protein and vegetable protein to fill them out. These just have more of it.

    They're okay/average for the taste at half price, but definitely not something I'd pay full price for.

        Bakery pies usually are not much chop either. Some are full of cornflour. A good pie is hard to find but worth the search :-)

        I think he means that some vegans hate things that resemble meat, like if they have never eaten meat they don't want to buy a product that is designed like meat

          I think the vast majority of vegetarians are vegetarians due to ethical reasons, not taste preference.

          I think most vegans don't support animal cruelty, they don't hate don't mind something that mimics meat.

          • [Deactivated] on 19/10/2020 - 13:10

            @Trippelsewe: That's 100% true, though I would have to say that veggie burgers, veggie sausages, veggie pies, etc don't really "mimic meat" because those foods are all so processed that they're not really meat anymore.

        • jrjr on 19/10/2020 - 13:51

          If they advertised it as a vegan/vegetarian pie then those people still wouldn't eat it because of the look and taste then?

    • bouncybear on 19/10/2020 - 11:49

      They're advertising it as meat free, because basically they are made for vegan/vegetarians.

      • gannon on 19/10/2020 - 12:58
        +6

        'Meat free' and 'plant based' are used specifically to avoid the labels 'vegan / vegetarian'. This is to get sales out of the flexible part of the market who might be looking to eat less meat, and don't want the association with the labels.

      Maybe Soy and Vegetable Pie doesn't sound as good?

    I wasn't a huge fan of this - I think they've tried to go for a flavour a little different to a regular meat pie, and I found myself missing the actual meaty taste. The pies aside, I do think that plant proteins will increase in popularity in general - I've tried the Hungry Jacks / Grill'd burgers and they were amazing / very similar to the real thing

    I think it’s worth it to try it out instead of full price. As a meat eater I found this tasted very meaty, had a smokey taste and my personal preference if wanting a veggie option next time will be to stick to veggie pasties. My husband also a meat eater liked the taste and said he would prefer this rather than a veg pie/pastie.

    • Jugganautx on 19/10/2020 - 15:00

    • ScottEh on 19/10/2020 - 13:42

      I normally microwave, then chuck it in the oven for 10 mins to crisp it up. Way better than waiting the half hour or whatever to fully cook it in the oven.

      I’m too lazy even with an air fryer. Grab a plate, put two wooden takeaway chopsticks on top and then the pie (to elevate it so it doesn’t touch the plate), microwave according to packet or your microwave (for me that’s 3min30secs) and then give it a couple mins to cool down outside of the microwave and you’ll have crispy pastry all round!

      • calcium on 24/10/2020 - 23:11

        Microwave and then air fryer for 3 minutes to get the crust crusty

    • chrisharry53 on 20/10/2020 - 08:46

      Can microwave and just make sure you let the pie stand for 3 minutes or so. I much prefer them in the oven though and with chips and veg as a meal rather than just the pie.

  • IPYF on 19/10/2020 - 15:31

    I'm a big fan of these and picked up a pack last night. I've always lamented that 'meat pies' (like most vegan sausages that taste like hot wet bread) just tend not to work out when when veganised and these are about as good as it gets. A little nicer than the ones sent to 7/11 which are also decent (just avoid the plant-based sausage rolls because they're dry as old chips).

  • wchau on 19/10/2020 - 15:55

    Have tried them - Pastry is 10/10.. filling is a 5/10.. .. If you are after meat free pies.. the 7-11 ones are way better.

    • IPYF on 19/10/2020 - 16:04

      I feel like the Woolies ones are almost identical and it's mostly just the poppy seeds that 7-11 doesn't feature (I'm 87% sure that they're also a 4&20 unit).

  • BumbaT on 19/10/2020 - 16:06

    These taste like mushroom pies, probably similar filling to quorns products which is an alternative as tive protein mixture made of from a type of fungi. Texture is more spongy with lest elasticity compared to a meat product so you won't get that mouthful expectation compared to a normal meat pie, however the pie crust is good quality for a frozen product.

    • bouncybear on 20/10/2020 - 10:36

      They're vegan as per the general agreement (there's no particular definition of vegan), but they're not marking them vegan, because the manufacturer uses the same production line as non-vegan products. Source: Fussy Vegan.
