Begs the question are they doing it as a loss leader or screwing the farmers again. Saw a (non gammon) gammon joint today in sainsbury but at £7 for something the size of my fist I gave it a miss. Why is veggie food so expensive. I do eat chicken so not veggie.

Veggie food is so expensive because it’s quite highly processed and with it all being relatively new innovation, food manufacturers that bring innovation invariably charge higher prices for the first few years to recoup their innovation costs

I'l really try to reduce my meat intake for both health and welfare reasons but would find a total vegetarian diet actually more expensive.

Beans, chickpeas, lentils etc are all dirt cheap and are the original veggie foods.

The type of product the op is referring to is highly processed and has a high amount of innovation to make it look feel and taste like meat, we aren’t talking bean & lentil burgers here

Chickpeas esp are brill, a complete food.
The amount of roughage in pulses can be, err, a bit rough for some though. I sprout them & other pulses - the shoots in the green are highly nutritiious (you have to use organic ones, without growth inhibitors tho).

"19p for veg".
What veg? A small carrot or a whole bunch of big leeks?
I bought 1KG of carrots and 1 KG of parsnips today for 19p each. It's crazy, yet you have to go very, very carefully what you spend elsewhere, but if you play the supermarkets and buy smart then you can get some really good deals.
No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
I am very wary of chicken, given that the stuff you buy in supermarkets is just under 5 weeks old. Up there with famed salmon in the 'dodgy' foods stuff.
I have a cousin who lives up bandit country (norfolk) and tells of gullible who tip up at weekends beieving the stuff is locally produced ie a field nearby. The other customers are those retired up there of a similar level of ignorance. He says you can tell by the soil of some of it that it comes from the fens, and carrots with the tops on via the airport, from Holland.
Supposedly the jams, chutneys etc a made by the farmers wife in her kitchen, as are the various pies, flans etc
Much the same as the meat, which is slaughtered in norwich butchered then , then sorted and returned to each farm - or maybe the shop gets sent what it needs irrespective of where the animal came from.
This is nothing new, and in these cases merely plays upon the stupidity of a certain type of fool. I expect the shop will one day sell coconuts from the trees in the nearby farm, and banans of which that part of norfolk has huge plantations.....just don't ask to see them
