    *Afterthoughts & Addenda:*
    *Cost comparisons:*
    Nut luncheon: £1.99 for 420g = 47p per 100g
    Spam: £2.75 for 340g = 81p per 100g
    Tulip Luncheon meat: £1.30 for 250g = 52p per 100g
    *Erratum:*
    The website from which I transcribed the nutrition information (having already recycled the can at the time of editing) appears to have misstated the energy value. It should be 208 calories per 100g, not 317 calories.

      Anything but spam! haha One thing I have been fascinated with is all of the meats in a can eastern Europe has, pates? We don't have many here in the states, and the ones we do have taste horrible. During my time in the army I had a few of the MRE's from other countries which had these canned meats and I loved them.

      @@DJxSGGxNeo Back when I was in the Army, all we had were 4 varieties, and they all were horrible. I picked up a case of the modern MREs, they still aren't too good, but lightyears better than the ones we had. As far as Spam goes, try the turkey or teriyaki versions, I much prefer those. The single slice pouches are great for hiking and camping, no refrigeration needed, and they weigh almost nothing.

      From the nutritional value comparison (5:20) it would appear that the ratio of fat to protein is the same. It seems like the nut version is low-fat but it's not low-fat, it's high-water.
      I suspect either the compound congeals readily with water, or they intentionally made it appear low-fat, or both.

    I have eaten nut luncheon for years - I think at one time it was called 'Nutoline'. I tend to have it sliced fairly thin and have it as a filling for a panini with onions and tomatoes. I have never thought of pan frying it or pan frying it with some batter - may give that a try. I like the idea of adding a marinade too.

      Made by Granose, there was Nuttolene and similar canned "meats" with names like Protose, Saviand and Bologna (my favourite) made from nuts, wheat gluten, soya etc. I think a firm called Mapletons made a Nut Luncheon Roll that was very similar. Vegetarian / vegan manufactured foods are generally better today, but there are a few of these products that I miss.

      Not too bad to be honest, it retains some consistency though with a lot more moisture. When I made it a few weeks ago with ramen, I put it in afterwards and not during the cooking of the broth, as I feared it might break down. Perhaps another brave soul can try cooking it in the miso from the start and let us all know?

Served on a nice thick artisan bread toast with mayo and pickle.

    If this wasn't weird enough for your taste, you should have tried Granose Nutbrawn that was on the market in the 1970's and early 80's.
    Granose, a firm originally owned by the Seventh Day Adventist church, produced a wide range of canned and dried meat analogues including various faux "luncheon meats" such as Nuttolene (which was the same as this) and ones like Protose, Saviand and Bologna, made with nuts, gluten and / or soya. I don't know how "Granovita" relates to the original "Granose" (now owned by Symingtons?) but they seem to be selling some of the Granose range, such as this.
    Most were actually quite nice (I use the type in your video in a Moroccan dish, chopped and fried with potatoes, onion, garlic, cumin and coriander) but there was one notable exception - the truly vile Nutbrawn.
    Think cubes of nutmeat in a revolting brownish jelly - though mucus might be a better description. It really was an Abomination in the Eyes of the Lord.

      It can be annoying enough even having a mild allergy - can't imagine how it is having a life-threatening one. People, for whatever reason, don't take nut allergies very seriously outside of schools and daycares - it's almost like they've gone out of fashion (meanwhile vegan/gf/paleo/etc diets have had the unfortunate side effects of increasing the prevalence of undisclosed nuts in restaurant meals, because the removed ingredients are almost always replaced with nuts). My extended family often forgets I have a tree nut allergy and will serve nut-containing cakes at gatherings I'm at without offering anything else, or assumes I've somehow grown out of my allergy. I wish I had, but apparently people don't grow out of nut allergies. My immediate family don't do that - they eat nuts around me which is fine, I'm not allergic enough for that to cause concern. My wife is about the only person I've ever met who is so sensitive to my allergy that she feels bad eating nut-containing things around me because I'll miss out. She saves the nut ice creams and nut chocolates and nut baked goods for when I'm not around.
      Interesting aside - the Magnum Gold Caramel Billionaire is nut free, but it's pecan *flavoured*. After checking the ingredients list very carefully and realising it didn't actually contain any nuts, I gave it a go. I can't say how authentic the flavour is because I've never eaten a real pecan, but it's interesting having a nut flavoured product that doesn't contain any nuts.

    If you want to make vegan mayo it's the easiest thing ever to make, also much easier than making traditional egg mayo in my opinion.
    1 cup oil (250 ml), I used sunflower oil
    1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk (125 ml)
    2 tsp apple cider vinegar
    1/2 tsp salt
    Instructions
    Make sure the oil is at the same temperature as the milk. You can use cold oil and cold milk, but I found room temperature milk and oil to be the easiest to work with. (I find this unnecessary from my experience)
    If you’re using an immersion blender, combine all the ingredients in the blender cup, place the immersion blender in, so that way it sits firmly on the bottom of the cup and pulse until the mayo emulsifies. Once most of the vegan mayo has emulsified, you can move the blender up and down to incorporate any oil that is sitting on the top.
    I usually use an immersion blender, but I’ve also tried to make this mayo using a regular blender and it works as well, although I think an immersion blender is the best choice.
    If you’re using a regular blender, place all the ingredients in the blender, except the oil, and blend for about 5 seconds. Then add the oil gradually while the blender is going at a slow speed until it thickens, then you can turn it gradually from low to high and let it go until well mixed.
    Try the mayo and add more salt if needed. If it’s too thick, add more milk and if it’s too watery add more oil. Pulse again until the mayo has the perfect consistency.
    Use it immediately or keep it in the fridge for a few hours until it’s cold. Keep leftovers in an airtight container or a jar in the fridge for about 4-7 days.
