Now that’s something I haven’t had for a while - I must pop that on my list along with a reminder about the black beans too.

Oh for gawd’s sake,does it matter? I didn’t say I don’t eat vegetables I said I prefer animals to process them. I occasionally eat carrots, sweet corn and peas because they come frozen in convenient packs so last a long time.
BTW cucumbers are a fruit not a vegetable

No… not really… but do I detect some backpedalling here? 
& it wouldn’t have mattered but for the seemingly sarcastic &/or dismissive chide made in the beginning, ie your earlier original posting.

And as for the remark that “BTW cucumbers are a fruit not a vegetable”
Well as you say does it matter ?..
So I’m sure you won’t mind me pointing out that cucumbers are considered to be both a fruit and a vegetable.
Under Botanical definition they are as you say considered a fruit
BUT
Under Culinary definition they are a VEGETABLE.
The Culinary Classification: Cucumbers are vegetables.
A nutritionist, chef or even your grandma, would use the culinary classification system, that defines fruit and vegetables in a slightly different manner, basing it on the way the plants are used and their flavour profiles.1 Culinary speaking, a ‘vegetable’ usually has a tougher texture, tastes blander and often requires cooking in dishes like stews, soups or stir-fries.1,2 A ‘fruit’, however, has a soft texture, tends to be either sweet or tart and is often enjoyed raw or in desserts or jams.1,2
Cucumbers can be crunchy, refreshing and enjoyed raw. Yet, we also prepare cucumbers in savoury dishes like pickling, which is why we usually classify cucumbers as vegetables."

Absolutely agree!
Lets not start splitting courgettes now 
So these Waitrose veggie burger tasted OK at first, then, after half a dozen times they tasted pretty disgusting so I’m back on beefburgers and other animal. From the butcher, but wait, waitrose do a mean slow cooked pork. I think the one I bought cost about £7 enough for two plus leftovers for sandwiches. Jolly tasty.
I always make my own now , very easy and a fraction of the price. Mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes make a great base, mix in any sort of beans and vegetables, shape, coat in flour and fry.

I had a vegan ‘chicken’ pie recently. It was totally tasteless. There were pieces of constructed soya trying to imitate chicken. Why not be honest about it and make a vegetable pie, perhaps with some spice to boost up the flavour, which I would be perfectly happy with.
