Had to go get stuff from Ikea, so got myself a treat and ate plant balls and got a few bags of them to take home for easy meals. Still think Ikea does the best plant balls around, at least where I live.

I like it how this plate of food is now cheaper than the meatball version.

They contain lots of soy- beanis.

Edit. Remembered the plant protein wrong, it's peanis (pea protein) not beanis.

My old Ikea used to do elaborate meals for various Scandiwegian holidays throughout the year. You had to have their free loyalty card and book in advance, but sometimes it was like a three or even five courses for barely more than the price of a sandwich and a coffee from a chain coffee shop.

Can't believe I'm the first to say "pea is stored in the balls", but here we are.

Hell yeah I need to try these.

They are so good!

Someone in the group I was in took the meatballs. As I still eat some meat we swapped one so I could compare the experience: The meatball tasted foul, like eating a barn or something. Fatty and grainy too compared to the clearly superior texture of the plant ball.

These plant balls are so much more delicious it's incredible. There is no need for the meatballs to exist at all.

do they still put dairy in the gravy and mash? the plant balls are good though

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I think the gravy has milk protein in it, not sure about the mash.
