Not great cold!

4 stars

So I actually quite liked these. They cooked up well and I thought the texture was pretty good while they were hot. I didn't have any problems with the taste, as some other reviewers did. However, I will say that these are not great when they've cooled down again after cooking - the texture seems to change completely and is pretty awful.

Pretty good - not very 'meaty' but quite tasty

3 stars

I really like these - I've marked them a three as I think they don't taste like meat meatballs but for a vegan alternative the texture is really good and for getting extra vegetables into your diet and cut out meat they're great. Would recommend.

Really not great

Taste, texture, just all awful. Much better meat free "meatballs" out there

Stay away.

5 stars

Brilliant product. I use it to make Kofta Kebabs and Donner Kebabs (just like the Take Away), but a healthier version. Add spices, mould and put in oven. Could not ask for better. Well done Tesco :)

Gluten free

5 stars

Brilliant. Very good value. Hold together well. Best of all they are gluten free so suitable for all those with Coeliac disease who wish to reduce their meat intake and those with gluten intolerance.

2 stars

I have been vegetarian for 35 years and these are one of the worst tasting products I have ever tried. The unpleasant taste lingers and repeats on you for hours afterwards! I hate wasting food but I have thrown the remaining meatballs in the food bin.These would seriously only reinforce meat-eating friends or family members that being a carnivore is the way to go!

Disgusting!

1 stars

Tastes so vile and disgusting!

Revolting

1 stars

These smell and taste revolting, even cooking them while preparing a sauce to go with them was unpleasant!

Tastelss claggy texture

1 stars

After wanting to eat more vegetarian foods I found the texture, soft and a claggy mush. Not tasty. I added it to a homemade italian sauce and gave some to my vegetarian son. We couldn't eat more than 2 each! I ended up binning it! I also bought some for my sister and told her to bin it. Not impressed.
