    Hey you! Not all of Essex is the back of beyond, my local Tesco sells the disgusting stuff . . . unfortunately!

    Any chance of posting up the recipe you used?

    I'm sure that will be a best seller I honestly don't know what to do with it as I most definitely agree that it is boking by itself!

    I did not realise you were being serious. I will post a good recipe later when I go home as there is a good one there. The one I made was for quick results, there is a slower one though.

    Now, clearly I wasn't paying attention when everyone who had tried it said it was yuk, because I bought some... and yes, it was yuk!

    It's just really, really sweet. I think I'll go down the cheesecake route as well. I don't like wasting food.

    Now... I wonder if I'll learn my lesson, or if I'll buy the slices as well. What do you think?

    Asda Walsgrave (Coventry) have the slices. They really do taste like regular processed cheese slices too! Nearly 5 grams of fat per slice is a little bad though!

    Tesco Walsgrave are selling off the Pure Cheese spread for £1 a tub, saving you 69p!

    Spread has made it to Salisbury - and it's disgusting. Like saccharine pollyfilla. It's marginally better than the stinky, slimy Alpro one, and not as good as the chalky Tofutti one... but nothing beats lovely, lovely sheese

    Hmm, I really hated the Sheese one when I tried it, so perhaps I need to seek out this new Polyfilla one, if it's the opposite.

    Too late, I tried it for the first time today (the spread). I know I haven't lead a perfect life and I've done things I'm ashamed of but I really don't think I've done anything bad enough to deserve this horrible spread.

    Surely they must have done taste tests before releasing this stuff, does anyone like it? I don't recall seeing a single positive mention of it.

    If the triangles are a shaped version of the cream cheese then count me out.......

    It was ok as cheesecake though.

    My OH bought some of the slices for me from Asda about a month ago sorreeee Didn't try them till tonight as didn't see the thread and not really 'into plastic' cheese, other than when melted on toast. They smell like VERY strong cheese, had a nibble and they taste ok really. I will save it for 'cheese' on toast. Hope it melts
    Million times better than Sheese which is sweet and tastes DISGUSTING IMO not tried Tofutti, but the SHeese experience put me off fake cheese which is why these slices have sat in the fridge. I do have a block of Redwoods cheese does anyone know what that is like? Cheezley I think it is. If you were a fan of plastic cheese before you became vegan then I say go for it, if not don't bother :smile:

    Hi Live & let live!

    I actually prefer the Cheezly to any of the vegan cheeses. My favourites are Cheezly white cheddar and red cheddar.
    They have some 'super melting' varieties aswell which are nice too.
    I still haven't managed to try the Pure 'cheese' slices etc, even though I keep checking for them when I'm out.

    Hey Sandra I have tried the melting Cheezly slices they were ok, quite edible but didn't taste much of cheese -the cow's variety.
    I have a block of the red stuff which has been in the fridge for about 6 weeks! There is only me who will eat it so I'm afraid to open it which is defeating the object!! Will give it a go this weekend! Sheese REALLY put me off!

    Hi Mr F. Just asked OH and he said they were in the chiller cabinet next to the other Pure stuff - marg etc. Hope you get some soon. I could pop some in the post? Think they would survive, we are not in the middle of a heatwave - unfortunately!

    In my local Milton Keynes one, they in with the dairy cheese slices. Pretending very hard not to be vegan...

    Thanks for the offer.

    I'd been looking in the cheese section. Will look with margerine next time I'm in an Asda (doesn't happen very often as there are none close). If I find none I'll let you know

    Have since tried the slices on top of beans on toast. I popped them under the grill and they attempted to melt a bit
    They tasted ok though really! I would have them again.

    The illusive slices still elude me.

    I tried the ginormous asda in the north of Coventry this lunchtime, where apparently they've been spotted. Alas to no avail.

    I did find several redwoods products i've not seen before however, including ready to eat southern fried nuggets. They tasted like a spicy version of the outside of a scotch egg.

    I've not eaten a scotch egg in this millenium though, so I might be way off.

    i've never heard of these, they sound like they might be interesting. i'm not sure i've ever eaten a Scotch egg in my whole life.

    Indeed!

    I tried the slices finally at a friend's house. Much nicer than the evil spread.

    I have been on the lookout for them or the triangles in supermarkets and health food shops for ages but have yet to see them.

    I've just had the pure soya 'soft and creamy' spread. I didn't like it to be honest, it's meant to be like soft cheese, but I had it on a cracker and it was more like putting thick cream on a cracker! That's what it tasted like. I imagine it would be a good ingredient though, if you were making a creamy tomato sauce or something, where you would be adding flavour with other ingredients.
    The greatest mistake is to do nothing because you can only do a little.

    how is it possible that they can make such a lovely marg type spread yet their 'cheese' range is almost inedible?
