Saw these advertised and had to make a trip to Lidl just for these as I am a person of sandwiches*, like many around these parts are and these vegan “deli cuts” are great. We make all our own sourdough bread (been doing it from well before covid) and sandwiches are a pretty big part of our diet as a whole. This weeks bread is spelt & oat sourdough.
These faux deli meats have all been pretty expensive so it’s nice to find a more affordable version. Definitely going to be consuming this from now on.
These are made from 
and peanis.
(*This does not mean subs, burgers, toast or anything warmed up, but open sandwiches with some type of cold cuts, veggies & a spread. These are eaten for breakfast, as a snack, meals, they are also a part of festive foods. The bread is often rye bread. We basically grow up on oatmeal and various kinds of open sandwiches between meals.)
Roasted slices of marinated tofu are my usual go-to for something like this, but sometimes you can’t beat convenience!
Yeah I don’t have the spoons for that which is why I’ve had a hard time with sandwich toppings in my quest to reduce meat consumption. I do a lot of avocado when it is in season and grown closer, but the “cold cut” open sandwich is the staple thing around here so am happy that at least some options are vegan.
Was just thinking how incredible it would be if no capitalism, we would have such variety of vegan food and meat would probably not be eaten much at all. Because it makes no sense. But here we are, in the endlessly subsidised meat production era. It’s the reason the hams and stuff are all cheaper than this and you get like 100 different types when there are literally only 3 different vegan options that I have seen.
I just watched this video last night. I’d seen tofu sheets at the Asian market but never thought to use them in this way
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
That’s a novel idea! I’ve had these cut into “tofoodles” at hot pot places (which I assume is their regular use).
Okay but do they actually taste good? Cuz I’ve been
for 19.5 years and Tofurky, Yves, LightLife, even Field Roast and Prime Roots cold cuts are just-barely-edible out of the bag. The worst taste like bland, wet cardboard and the best taste like sage seasoning. Curious if this actually has a pleasant taste - would you eat it straight out of the package and enjoy it, or just tolerate it?I’m comparing this to the meat versions and this one was basically like eating mortadella or very close to that. Also got one with no added seasoning, but haven’t tried that one yet. But yeah, this one was good. I’ve also gotten those cardboard ones or ones with just weird floury taste so it’s hit and miss.
There is one other brand in my country that is a lot like this Lidl one and was my favourite before, but it is very much out of my budget so rarely do I buy it.
Neat, glad to hear somewhere has decent veg cold cuts
They have also started to sell the vegan “lax” now which are basically just sliced carrots marinated in liquid smoke and spices. This I always make for Christmas myself as it’s very easy. It’s very good on rye bread.

how much is that from lidl? the cheapest vegan cold cuts i found are the kroger brad which are i believe about 4 bucks for a fairly small pack
This was 1,99€, it’s still not cheap by any means.
r*peseed
In the US and Canada that was eventually called canola oil due to the… um… first four letters of the original word. The etymology…
1970s: from Canada + -ola (based on Latin oleum ‘oil’).
The term “canola” denotes a group ofremovedseed cultivars that were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and which are especially prized for use as human and animal food.
I don’t think the word here has anything to do with uhm, what I think you are implying.
The term derives from the Latin word for turnip, rāpa or rāpum, cognate with the Greek word ῥάφη, rhaphe. Natopedia link
In my language this plant is called rapsi. Has no connection whatsoever to sv.
It doesn’t but it’s more an optics thing. The word canola was specifically adopted by advertisers in 1978 to avoid the perceived connection to the obvious one. A committee of ad men basically didn’t want to their product to be associated with that word, which was probably a smart move
Canola means Canadian oil, low acid, btw
It was renamed due to the connotation of those four letters.
This synonym for “miserly” has nothing to do with the N-word, etymologically speaking, but there’s a reason you rarely hear anyone saying it nowadays unless they’re intentionally being edgy.
Based Canada? Wtf I love Canada now
Oh so thats canola oil the crunchy people where whining about. The conflation of rpeseed to rpe is only in english no?
That’s a good question. But I have no idea.
It’s called rapsi in my native language and most definitely has nothing to do with ****. The word comes from latin and basically means turnip.
I’ve recently been making sandwich sausage with seitan, tvp, and bessan (texture and balancing out aminos) plus herbs and spices maybe sundried Ts.
Shit is easy, affordable, and lasts all week.
I don’t want to be a party pooper but fuck Lidl you should boycott them. Their owner is a huge Zionist.
It isn’t on the bds list so I didn’t know. It’s also the food I can still afford to buy around these parts, but thanks for the heads up.
Lidl also lacks a lot of products. And is owned by the schwarz family which bascially run a neo-feudal fiefdom. I mostly go to Penny or Kaufland, since its the only options I have.
