Trying the new IKEA Plant Based hot dog!!!

As well as the Veggie dog, IKEA has launched a Plant based hot dog this summer.
It was finally available in the UK according to their instagram post a few days ago so I went to try it out.

Priced at 85p, I got two plain ones to try, one naked without the sauces and the other one with basic ketchup and mustard.

The plant based dog comes with green napkins to distinguish it from the rest.

Visually, the dog looks the part and the bun now looks more like a cylindrical panini sliced horizontally from the side.

Before taking a bite, the dog feels the same with the usual firmness and the casing feels the same as the regular ones.

Taking a bite, without sauces and bun the casing had a good snap just like a regular hot dog and tastes ok.

However, the texture was so different, it was like konjac mixed with fat, squidgy and somehow waxy but not as soft as regular dogs.

Now taking another bite with the bun and sauces, it was quite enjoyable and tasty.

It still doesn't beat the regular dog but I would still recommend it because of the price.
