Pork pie is probably a distant memory if you’ve turned vegan or vegetarian.
But the good news is that any pork, jelly and pastry cravings you’ve had can now be fulfilled as Morrisons is launching a vegan version next month.
They claim they are the first supermarket to create a plant-based version of the usually meaty pie.
The vegan ‘No Pork’ Pie will launch on 9 December in stores.
It replicates the traditional pork pie with a meaty taste, crumbly pastry texture and classic appearance but it will be completely free of animal products.
The launch has been kept secret with only six Morrisons staff knowing the secret recipe so all they can say at the minute is that it’s made from soya and pea protein.
The pies will be baked by Morrisons experts at their pie shop counters, and are set to sell for £1.75 or two for £3, from next month.
Morrisons Pie Buyer, Steven Halford, said: ‘So many people across the UK are fond of eating a pork pie at Christmas.
‘Our vegan and vegetarian customers previously couldn’t enjoy a pork pie but with our new meat free product they can enjoy a great tasting alternative.’
It’s not the first vegan product from Morrisons that has got people talking this week.
They announced the launch of the footlong vegan sausage roll on Monday.
Weighing in at a whopping 466g, the gigantic vegan roll is double the length of its competition and nearly four times the weight – and it only costs £1.
