Whats the texture of veggie mince, Iona? Will it disintegrate if I rustle up a curry and eat the rest tomorrow?

If I say it is a little on the spongy side that sounds disgusting doesn't it?

It's very much like mince, well, what I can remember of mince. The problem (advantage?) is that it has very little flavour. Most flavour from meat comes from the fats. As vegetarian mince is quite low in fat (although can be quite high in salt) you do have to throw a lot of flavour at it.

It will hold up though to long periods of cooking and reheating. I've used it in curries if I am making a keema but I've also put it in spag bol, chilli, nachos, used it to fill cabbage rolls. It's very versatile.

Thanks, I'll give that keema a whirl.

Bet the chilli is a treat on nachos and melted cheese and jalps
