that salt pour literally stopped me in my track, mouth ajar in disbelief

[@anupajacob989]

I just realised that I have been watching her videos for over 8 years and its still the most calming, wholesome videos i can ever find on the internet. I never ever got tired of her content. I love the realism and relatability. Only youtuber i still watch without feeling any less excited

[@jaydssx]

the salt?? oh taz im lost for words😭

[@karolinaezerskyte6019]

The salt in guac 🤣 what happened Taz???😂❤

[@StarMiely]

Honestly, I was more than a little shocked 🤣 Sodium overload

[@anandsharma7430]

Most likely "brain microsleep". Google it. Very informative.

[@ellinor9777]

I read this comment before watching and I did not know what to expect. But then after watching I was shocked

[@SacredChildOfGod]

AHAHAHAHAH

[@nouramouctar817]

Please Taz read instructions on packaging. Most of the time frozen stuff is meant to be cooked from frozen especially if it goes in the oven. Hope that helps.

[@conversationswithcharis9266]

😂

[@firdosahmed3636]

Sounds so disappointed 🤣🤣

[@daisylinassi495]

Girl you’re glowing, nailing it with the colour analysis recommendations 🤭

[@samanmahmood93]

She looks really cute

[@annoar9776]

yes yes yes!

[@gemwhite8247]

You didn’t microwave them in the containers which can affect the texture of the pasta for sure especially for a ready meal

[@sherene.613]

Why did you put frozen food in the fridge? And why did you pour so much bloody salt 😂 taz are you ok?

[@saloniantony7238]

Most frozn products would mention on the box that you need to cook it directly when frozen and not thaw or defrost it as the texture would change.

[@motherofbunnies9045]

First time I’ve seen someone not microwave the microwave meal in the packet 😅

[@deniseb.4656]

Frozen food has to be kept in the freezer. You can't complain about the pizza dough when you kept it in the fridge. These things have to go in the oven while they are still FROZEN.

[@kirstyward9144]

Hi Taz, I've tried the vegan smoked salmon. I've been vegan for about 5 years and hated it (made me feel sick) but my meat-eating partner loved it - I think it was too convincing for me!

[@lauramoscrop6106]

I can’t have dairy so Aldi’s vegan range is a life saver - especially the ice cream!!! It’s my go-to. The only thing that annoys me about “veganuary” is that it’s frustrating when good products disappear. I loved the vegan pain au chocolats since I can’t have normal ones but they were only in store for about two weeks in January and they weren’t suitable for freezing. They’re such a good on the go breakfast for me 🥺

[@Claore]

The St Pierre pain au chocs are vegan 😊 you can get them in loads of places, I do Asda x

[@humblebugg5270]

Loving how much you posting lately.

[@lillycaseo]

Australian here for some avocado guidance! If you want to check an avocado is ripe you gently push in the little knob at the top and if it's soft then the avocado is ripe. Also Hass avocado's are green when unripe and black when ripe.

[@ellenmoloney967]

I am losing my mind why on earth did you put that much salt in your guac 💀💀

[@janinaschulz4980]

"let's make a wrap" brings out a pita bread

We love the peri peri chicken in pitta bread with salad and garlic Mayo- kinda like a kebab!

[@GirlLovesFairytale]

In the netherlands we have such good vegan/vegetarian meat substitutes at Lidl

[@emilyashmore2380]

I wish UK's Lidl had good vegetarian range 😔 it's not awful but mine is definitely lacking but tbh most UK veggie food only appears in veganuary then disappears

[@deev1207]

Why the man VoiceOver, it really threw me over. But love a new taz vid😊

Sometimes a vegan alternative needs a little help as it's a different ingredient - for example, the "cheese" is fine in a sandwich with some pickle, some vegan mayo, tomatos etc - it's fine for a ploughmans sandwich. When it comes to melting I find it's best to toast my bread first, then add a slice of "cheese" and microwave for about 40-50 seconds, the "cheese" melts better and is more authentic. The beef style strips aren't up to much straight from the pack - they need a little stir fry to bring out the flavour, when they become more palatable. The main problem with the pizzas are that they use a raw dough, so need cooking from frozen, but i've never had one that hasn't stuck to the tray. The flavours aren't bad though - although some may find them a little sweet. I personally just make my own pizzas.

[@conversationswithcharis9266]

So coronation chicken is super sweet and is usually a sandwich filler and definitely NOT a curry. So it’s kinda weird that out of all the dishes Aldi could have come up with they decided on coronation chickpea curry 🤷‍♀️ that’s just so weird bc you would never make actual coronation chicken curry 😂 it’s just not a thing!

[@rye687]

hey taz, just a recommendation for whenever you make toasties, is buttering the exterior side, that way your bread will be more evenly cooked and much more scrumptious

[@jumanah7246]

taz how can you not even know how to cook basic food with instructions on it😭

[@queenbka]

Violife epic mature is the best vegan cheese imo. Also Applewood vegan smoked and Cathedral city’s vegan cheese. Epic mature melts the best though

[@thepotsiezebra]

A bit of advice if I may....The Aldi smoked salmon was only for veganuary. It won't appear again. All aldi cooked no meat is awful. There are very few vegan cheeses that taste ok, none that compare to the dairy ones. Try the frozen range, it's much better!!

[@brigittanemeth9316]

I tried the "salmon", was super tasty :) the cashier was like "oh I didn't know we had such pretty salmons here" :D

[@jaybehkay2438]

The salt omg Taz gurl what happened 😭

[@alexanderschwarm7755]

Taz you are just so sweet and endearing in your own cheeky way. Your lovely personality and quick wit humor make it a pleasure watching your videos. Thank you for being yourself, you are adorable ❤

[@sums9600]

I love the spicy bean burger from the aldi vegan range ,, 🎉

[@chl_0k]

Asda sell a vegan smoked salmon, as does Waitrose. I think its the brand squeaky bean

[@DivineDianne]

Remember when they were telling us that processed foods are bad for us, yet now they are promoting processed foods under the guise of it being healthy because its vegan? I will stick to my whole foods. Veggies, Meats, Eggs, Dairy. :) These vegan options did not look appetizing. I would have loved to see the ingredient list.

[@luckymldy]

From my perspective (as a vegetarian), the campaign of "veganuary" is not really about promoting more healthier options - even if veganism still faces that image - but offer more variety for vegan people. So I see it as a try-out opportunity and support for the vegan community, yet of course nobody has to change their diet because of that. Your meals sound delecious aswell! 😊

[@smexygecko9053]

dont forget there are other reasons for diet choices than health :) a lot of people who eat plant based care abt animals or have allergies, this is a win for so many people.

[@Sophine]

Yea, My sister and her family went more vegan and now they all have cholesterol issues from the grease some of this stuff is made of.

[@theartist_harlivi]

@@Sophinea few years ago I got in trouble because my cholesterol was too low. Really depends on your personal choices. There are healthy and unhealthy people who are vegan and meat eaters too.

[@eloisejrg26]

They never promote these vegan meats as “healthier” - being vegan does not equal being healthy! People are vegan for the environment, the animals and themselves. A vegan can have chicken nuggets if they want to have a lazy meal just like a meat eater can :)

[@mero1957]

so for the vegan chicken (at least, i've not tried the vegan beef), it's best to fry it up with some things like lemon juice, salt, chilli powder etc. tastes much better than if it were cold/uncooked. and aldi's vegan salmon is quite tasty! does taste like the real thing! unfortunately only had it once though i think it was very limited but i hope they bring it back. other stores like sainsbury's, asda and waitrose all have vegan salmon, i think vegan salmon is something that's just tried and true tbh. apparently you can make vegan salmon with carrots

[@xXNekou]

Taz, Ben&Jerry vegan ice cream is REALLY nice, you should try it :)

[@pichofiraviyah8492]

[@luckymldy]

As far as I know, the Chicken Burger from Burger King comes from a company called "The Vegetarian Butcher" - at least in Germany. So the Burger is actually not vegan, but as a vegetarian I do still enjoy them very much. In Germany you can buy some of their (Butcher) products in the supermarket. Would love to see a taste test of those 😊❤

[@bearclaire]

De vegetarian butcher has a lot of vegan products

[@TheJosephKnight]

Could be that they're fried in the same oil as meat product, so they can't say its vegan

[@georgebowman1060]

Yeah I won't be shopping at Aldi's for vegan substitute foods.... Maybe the plant-based ice cream but I would have to look at the ingredients.

[@kiaraahtom8602]

Taz i would recommend trying lactose free cheese, it actualy tastes like cheese and meltwonhope this helps. [ i know lactose free isnt the same as vegan, its just a suggestion.]

[@georgebowman1060]

What exactly does Burger King put in their quote unquote plant-based chicken... Might be just a whole bunch of fillers.

[@estryxel6189]

I’m very fussy about meat. I struggle with a lot of meat. I wish I liked the vegan version of meats as would help but i don’t like it. And I love cheese, I tried various vegan options but didn’t like any. As you said taz very plastic looking and not much taste. I think if products in vegan ranges where better I’d stop eating meat.

[@annoar9776]

I can honestly recommend the brand vivera :) and rewe beste wahl räucherlaxxs but this is germany soooo yeah. :D

[@georgebowman1060]

Please don't hold your pointing finger on top of the knife 🗡️ -very unstable very little control-as I'm sure you feel in your hand..

I want her to do a video like this but with amount paid because despite me wanting to go vegan. It truly seems more expensive for the amount you are getting.

[@SimplyJack3]

😂😂I had a smile the whole time watching the train wreck.

[@eloisejrg26]

You should try the M&S vegan range their peri peri chicken is insanely good! Their range is so good :)

[@emilyashmore2380]

That fake salmon is amazing tastes exactly like it imo which is so annoying because i found it once and cant get it again 😢

[@PiumiMahazoom]

Don't be mad. I REALLY LIKE YOUR NO MAKEUP LOOK WITH SHORT HAIR

[@sergeykomarov2203]

At first, I was afraid that it would be a hidden advertisement for Aidi vegan. Considering that our girl is very polite and does not want to offend anyone, I can read her how to run away from here, do not even get close to this product.😂🥰

[@justjo190]

Not me sat here on a train to York still wondering if that icecream ever melted

[@annoar9776]

maybe let the frozen stuff frozen until you put it in the oven :)

[@AndreeaN_Bubu]

I prefer violife and sheese brand for vegan cheese

[@bradthe12]

Pouring salt like it’s sugar 😂😂

[@emmuhemmuh]

The vegan salmon is DISGUSTING! I had the tiniest bite and couldn’t even swallow it. Could taste it for hours afterwards and kept making me gip. Not good 🤢

[@bearclaire]

I don't eat vegan mock products often but I tried a vegan salmon recently from the brand vivera, I liked it. Baked it in the airfryer then squeezed lemon juice on top and fresh parsley and coriander. I'm not sure what real salmon taste like though

[@elina4005]

Please try more plant based food 😊

yeah, the no tray method only works for the precooked pizza dough, not raw XD

[@SacredChildOfGod]

THE SALT PART GOT ME

[@journalofshan]

Honestly you should try the spanish brand its called HEURA and FLAX & KALE they make different types of vegan dish and its a life changer. Taste absolutely real 👌👌👌

[@stefwilliams44]

The only decent vegan cheese option is Cathedral City Plant Based - I've been vegan for about 7 years & haven't had a cheese as close to 'normal' until i tried it. Have a taste!

[@doro3523]

I'm from Germany and vegan and I have to say I'm not a big fan of Aldi when it's about vegan stuff. Taz I would love you to try other vegan options :) maybe we can recommend some brands. I don't know if you have simply v in the UK ❤

[@staceysymonds8129]

I've tried the vegan salmon from Aldi and it's really good, super flavourful and tasty! I'm not entirely sure how similar it is to real salmon because I've been vegetarian for 10+ years but from what I remember it's pretty damn accurate! My personal fave vegan salmon is the Squeaky Bean one, but Aldi's and Asda's are reaaaally good too.

[@ragingsilver]

The issue I find with vegan/Veggie options is that they lack flavour, like use some salt and pepper. We even have spicies etc which I'm sure are vegan too...

[@pepper_xiv]

Never found a good vegan cheese, honestly. They all have quite an unpleasant aftertaste and a weird texture. My partner is allergic to dairy, so I've been on the lookout for a good one for years but to no avail. The Aldi one looks like a better melt than I usually see, so I may actually try this!

[@humblebugg5270]

​@aparecraft the traffic lights are shocking tho. All red!!

[@wandby7090]

the cheese will be much more comfortable to cut horizontally... it cracks me up all the time with how you slice it.

[@queenbeemo42]

I get dairy sensitive when pregnant first trimester I cannot tolerate any dairy at all! So soy cheese has been a go to at those times. So there are a lot of reasons to appreciate a variety of choices.

[@kanunes695]

whenever youre cooking peppers you want to remove the white parts of the inside

[@TheJosephKnight]

I'm not a big fan of meat replacement stuff. The texture is always weird. If you want a good vegan recipe, check out Rainbow Plant Life's Tofu Tikka Masala (and a lot of her videos) or Chetna's chickpea curry.

[@keeva2176]

Some brands are really good, it's hit or miss

[@B333N]

Never in my life seen someone cut the cheese on the wide side, apparently for good reason

[@HassanRaashid]

13:29 I think it's a little too late for that hun, it's February now 😭😭

[@BeckyHoweMusic]

Taz I tried the salmon!!! I developed a fish allergy about 5 years ago and before that I loved salmon, so I was so happy to find it! The texture/taste is sooooo similar to how I remember it, eating it on a bagel with vegan cream cheese (also allergic to dairy 😅) brings me so much joyyyyyyy 🥹 but because it’s for veganuary, I won’t be able to get it for the rest of the year 🙃

[@Kathy_mb]

in germany the vegan salmon is not with the vegan stuff but the fish sometimes...

Hi Taz nice to see you again! You should try Cathedral City plant based it's incredible!
