Product Description

  • What the Cluck high protein soy-based chicken-style chunks
  • Discover all our recipes on our website, www.TheVegetarianButcher.co.uk
  • It's that old riddle that's sparked many quarrels throughout the ages: was it the chicken or the egg that came first? Break through the chicken and egg dilemma, and get a delicious meal without ruffling any feathers. We have been able to recreate the same cluckin' great flavour, without the use of chicken or eggs!
  • Some say that the vegan chicken-style chunks from The Vegetarian Butcher taste more like chicken than chicken itself. Our What the Cluck chunks are 100% plant-based and are our flagship product. The next big thing in plant-based gastronomy. Master chefs have a hard time distinguishing it from the real thing. Tasty in a curry, stir fry, salad, and as a basis for your favourite 'chicken' dish.
  • Just like workhorses were replaced by tractors a hundred years ago, animals will be replaced by sustainable new techniques that produce meat from legumes and grains. All of our ‘meat' lessens the impact on the environment of traditional animal agriculture and meat. Go the extra mile with our products by swapping out animal based meat and be much more efficient in the use of land, soy, and fossil fuels. We've created the best and most delicious way to convince meat lovers that meat no longer has to come from animals. So no need to chicken out - let the taste do the talking!
  • Our founder, Jaap Korteweg, a 9th generation Dutch farmer, became a vegetarian after the outbreak of swine flu in the Netherlands in 1998 when he was asked to store the carcasses of millions of dead pigs in his cold storage. He thought about becoming an organic farmer, but couldn't bring himself to slaughter his own animals after they became part of the family over the years. However, he kept craving the taste and texture of meat. So together with producers of vegetable protein, scientists and innovative chefs, his main goal became to develop and produce plant-based meat that is as good as if not better than the original. Now he is bringing them to the UK, in chilled and frozen options!
  • We've created a wide range of plant based proteins, all of which are vegetarian, and more than 70% are vegan with our ambition being to become 100% vegan! In the meantime, we believe that we can have a greater impact sooner if we use today's technology to make meat-free delicious as we develop the technology of the future to become fully vegan.
  • Enjoy as part of a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet.
  • Jaap Korteweg, 9th generation Dutch farmer and founder of The Vegetarian Butcher:
  • "My goal is to produce delicious vegetarian meat that tastes even better than the original. Just like workhorses were replaced by tractors a hundred years ago, animals will be replaced by sustainable new techniques that produce meat from legumes and grains. My ambition is to give meat lovers the experience that they are not missing out when going meat-free!"

Tough, chewy and tasteless.

2 stars

We are not vegetarians but do like to try different products in order to vary our diet. I used this in a stir fry and even though I cooked it with ginger, garlic, soy and sweet chilli sauce, it still had no taste at all - thank goodness I had done lots of vegetables. It was so tough and chewy that in the end we both gave up and put it to one side, it just was not worth the effort. I appreciate why people choose not to, or cannot, eat meat but I think there are much better alternatives than this already on the market. I do object to the term "The Vegetarian Butcher" - a butcher is someone who undergoes training in order to prepare and dress cuts of meat and poultry for sale, not someone who fiddles around with soya trying to make it resemble meat!

What the cluck, better than the cluck.

5 stars

Excellent product, actually better than chicken. What the actual cluck??

One of the best vegan meat alternatives

5 stars

Fantastic product.Authentic in flavour and etcetera.Hope this will be staying around as I will buy regularly.

Never again

2 stars

I used it in a stir fry - ended up not eating - the texture in parts was like the gristle on meat. Just awful Hated it big time

Stunningly Good - V Convincing Chicken Substitute!

5 stars

I'm a v keen food lover and cook experimenting with vegan substitutes for ethical reasons, and I think this product is astonishingly good. I ate it cold, unadorned, straight out of the packet at first, to road-test it. I had to stop myself! The texture is very, very like cooked chicken and I understand the comment below, that veggies might find it too meat-like. Massive kudos to the creators - they really have nailed it. I'm yet to test how the 'chicken' absorbs flavours and cooks - I'm trying it in a jambalaya on Saturday, so we'll see!

Best veggie chicken ever!!

5 stars

I've been a vegetarian for 2 years now and this is hands down the best fake chicken I've ever tasted! The taste, texture is spot on to real chicken and it browns off exactly like you're cooking chicken. So so good!

Amazing! Bought this week as it’s was on the Clubc

5 stars

Amazing! Bought this week as it’s was on the Clubcard offer. Husband made a Thai style curry with it... even the meat eaters in the house commented on how good it tastes
