Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date ? of December 2025 This is a supper dinner to have for Boxing Day.  Providing these products are still available, I would highly recommend.  I say this because I had this meal last year.  The meat substitutes are no-turkey and no-gammon from Sainsbury's.  It is traditional to have ham at Yule in the UK and just as traditional to have cold meats on Boxing Day.  The meal formula is simple: Cold meat subs, usually no-turkey and no-gammon Mash potato Green veg Pickles Gravy is optional I hope you liked this blog!  I would love to hear from you; especially if you tried this recipe out.  Have a great day!

Vegan cold meats of your choice x as many slices as you like! Pickles of your choice x a few tbsp. Tomato x 1. 1/4 of Bell pepper Since we are vegan, I suggest adding a heaped teaspoon of nutritional yeast with B12 to the mash and leaving the skins on to give it that extra flavour and nutrition.  I use olive oil instead of vegan butter for the mash. All you have to think about is what mock meat and what pickles you want.  For the mock meat, I chose Squeaky Bean Pastrami and their Deli Style Ham for last year's Boxing Day, which was a great idea since their mock deli me...
