Over the last 12 months I've complained about food products on 4 separate occasions (excluding home delivery rejections). Always to manufacturer rather than retailer and always by e-mail and every time getting a prompt response followed by vouchers to the value of 4-6 times the product cost (except 1 company that sends me a hamper with several of the faulty product as well as a wide range of all their other product - various porridge oat products).

If I spend money and it turns out inadequate on opening I'll generally pursue the issue (e-mail makes it free, quick and easy). The above 4 complaints were to 3 companies, 2 of which I've complained to several times before (I eat a lot of their product and they do sometimes produce duff batches).

I never demand vouchers or replacement, don't do a "Mr. Angry"; generally my aim is to let them know they have an issue. When I was in business we actually appreciated justified complaints - they told us where we were going wrong and we could then fix the issue.

Passion for Pie, Newton Abbot. Postal service. The best pies ever... Crammed with meat. My favourite is the chicken leek and mushroom. Lovely pastry too.

Even better not to have any meat!

These are rather yummy!

The best pies round here come from Walker's Little Pie Shop in Drighlington. It's the shop that's little, not the pies.

Greenhalgh’s pies from Bolton. Especially the beef steak or potato and meat varieties. Sell them on the ELR great to round off a train assisted ride.

Our home-made Spanakopita ('σπανακόπιτα' - Greek for 'spinach pie' - veggie but not vegan) is amazing! It invariably gets gobbled up in less than no time. Pity I can't supply it, but I can give out the recipe, if anyone wants...

I thought Veg/Vegan food had moved beyond simply apeing Non-V food?

Though 'vegan' is quite clear I'm surprised they can describe them as 'minced steak' or 'chicken'.

Indeed - were it non-V and didn't contain those ingredients in the requisite proportions, then it would be verboten, so am puzzle too.

In this age of recycling where possible the next batch could be filled with Soylent Green.

So am I. But clearly some who eat vegan food favour these meat 'substitutes' and expect them to be named after the meat they're supposed to emulate. Doesn't bother me, though the French meat industry in particular have been having kittens* over it....
