Saw these advertised and had to make a trip to Lidl just for these as I am a person of sandwiches*, like many around these parts are and these vegan “deli cuts” are great. We make all our own sourdough bread (been doing it from well before covid) and sandwiches are a pretty big part of our diet as a whole. This weeks bread is spelt & oat sourdough.

These faux deli meats have all been pretty expensive so it’s nice to find a more affordable version. Definitely going to be consuming this from now on.

These are made from beanis and peanis.

(*This does not mean subs, burgers, toast or anything warmed up, but open sandwiches with some type of cold cuts, veggies & a spread. These are eaten for breakfast, as a snack, meals, they are also a part of festive foods. The bread is often rye bread. We basically grow up on oatmeal and various kinds of open sandwiches between meals.)

    The term “canola” denotes a group ofremovedseed cultivars that were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and which are especially prized for use as human and animal food.

    I don’t think the word here has anything to do with uhm, what I think you are implying.

    The term derives from the Latin word for turnip, rāpa or rāpum, cognate with the Greek word ῥάφη, rhaphe. Natopedia link

    In my language this plant is called rapsi. Has no connection whatsoever to sv.

      It doesn’t but it’s more an optics thing. The word canola was specifically adopted by advertisers in 1978 to avoid the perceived connection to the obvious one. A committee of ad men basically didn’t want to their product to be associated with that word, which was probably a smart move

      Canola means Canadian oil, low acid, btw
