Plant pioneers banana blossom

Hi everyone,

I received an email today from sainsburys with all their vegan products on. One of the things was a tin of banana blossom. When I looked it up it’s seems it’s what’s used for Vegan “fish and chips” has anyone had banana blossom? What does it taste like and what did you use it for?

Thanks

Ali 🙂🌱

Hi Ali, I've never had it before, how someone else has and they let you know what it's like.

A friend of mine says it’s really nice! (Apparently Aldi are doing a new vegan tuna called tuno - a few people have said it’s the worst thing they’ve ever tried despite the good reviews...just so you don’t waste your money if tempted to try it 👍🙂).

I might have to look for that.

Thank you for the warning on the tuno I'll give that one a wide berth.😉 To be honest I prefer things that are naturally vegan i.e. beans and not things that pretend to be meat or fish. Give me a chickpea curry any day.😉😋

Same here. I used to try new things to be supportive but now there is so much. I’m not keen on substitutes and it’s a slippery slope. Chickpea, mayo and caper sandwich tastes like tuna (well sort of) and I love it 🌱🙂( ps my son has gone vegetarian how good is that! A step in the right direction! 😁🌱).

Funny I did the same when I first became a Vegan but now make nearly all my own stuff apart from cheese, haven't got there with that yet😉

Yay so glad your son is now a veggie, that's brilliant.😁

Hello Ali,

It does tend to be used as a fish substitute, I have never tried it but I did see the meal next to me which was fish n chips made with banana blossom and it look like the real thing.

Best wishes

Thanks Debs....I since heard it’s really nice. So might try it if I see it on a menu as don't tend to deep fry at home. 🙂
