Veggies and vegans – what food do you miss most from your meat-eating days?
For me, its hot dogs. I still long for the thrill of processed meat stuck in a bun and slathered in ketchup.
For others, itll be a simple fish finger sandwich – especially if you went from omnivore, to pescatarian, then to vegetarian or vegan.
Thankfully for the latter squad, Waitrose is here to help satisfy those cravings without making you feel awful for tucking in to actual fish.
Waitrose is launching Fishless Fingers, made with breaded seaweed tofu with a crispy coating. Theyre said to have a subtle fish flavour, which is glorious news for those of us longing for the taste of a nice bit of cod.
The store recommends pairing the fishless fingers with its vegan tartare sauce and sourdough bread for a dreamy vegan take on a fish finger sandwich. Yum.

Its worth noting that Waitrose isnt the first brand to attempt a fish-free fish finger – Quorn also sells vegan fishless fingers.

The Waitrose ones are intended to be a bit posher than your average, costing £3.99 for a pack of six, while Quorn offers a ten pack for £2.50.
So yes, it might be a wise idea to try the Quorn ones before sampling the pricier Waitrose ones, just to see if youre lucky enough to prefer the cheaper option.
But isnt it lovely to see more supermarkets expanding their vegan range, especially in the midst of Veganuary?
