Blue Dragon: Won Ton Soup
One of the more interesting soups I've had lately - probably one the nicest too. On the can and on the website it does say "Suitable for Vegans", though you may notice a strange ingredient listed...'Chicken Flavouring'. I also checked the website again when I bit into one of the parcels... kind of meaty. But I think it was some soy protein (I hope). Most of the soup is watery, but in a nice way. Really nice, strong balanced flavour, and a smidgen of vegetables. Then are about 4 parcels with some veg and this mince style stuff. These are also really good. And overall the soup tastes quite fresh. Though when you open the can it smells a bit pet food... slightly. But don't let that put you off, it's really nice. Maybe as small meal or shared with some other bits. 5/5

Fry's Vegetarian: Vegan Pops
Fry's make some of the best mock meat style products around, especially the 'chicken-style' ones. Today I'll just be writing a quick review of their popcorn style version with chutney. Firstly, it does state on the back that you can microwave them - DON'T. The best way to cook these is shallow fry with a small amount of oil, this blends the powder in nicely and they go nice and golden brown. If you microwave them they go soggy and weird. I've only eaten them as a snack, but they would be great for BBQ's or when you are trying to recreate your own vegan fast food chain with chips and other unhealthy delights.
For what they taste like alone, I would rate them 4/5, but I will rate them 5/5 because in terms of what they are trying to be I'm not sure they could be improved.
