No Pork Sausage Rolls (£2.35)

Putting a fresh twist on a traditional nut roast, M&S has also launched a new Butternut, Almond & Pecan Nut Roast as part of its Plant Kitchen range. With a bit of planning and variation, vegan and vegetarian diets can be healthy and provide all the nutrients your body needs. Alternatives are key to a successful, healthy vegan or vegetarian diet so we’ve listed a few options below:

We are seeing an increasing number of consumers choosing a meat-free diet every year. This has led to a dynamic change within one of the UK's biggest supermarkets: M&S. This Christmas, I was gifted a box of vegan truffles from Marks and Spencer and they're a complete game changer. With a vast and ever-increasing array of non-dairy and non-egg alternatives in today's supermarkets, my diet is less restrictive now than it has ever been.

Launching as part of its Plant Kitchen range, the company will also be launching a Plant Kitchen Festive Roast roast stuffed with cranberry and chestnut stuffing which is the perfect alternative to a Christmas turkey roast. It's January and, for many people, it's time to take on the Veganuary challenge and forgo all animal products for an entire month. I've been a vegetarian for 13 years, but I am phasing dairy and eggs out of my diet so I'm always excited by January product launches. Vitamin B12 – commonly found in yeast extracts, fortified breakfast cereals and fortified milk alternatives such as soya or nut drinks.

I'd never tried them before so my interest was piqued. The box was relatively simple, in plain white with a blue pattern. Inside, the dark chocolate truffles were encased in a silver foil bag. Spoilt for choice over the festive period with a never ending supply of food, we saved the truffles until we returned home. When a friend - who is completely obsessed with meat and dairy - came to visit us and was offered a truffle, she initially turned her nose up. Indulge in some high-quality food and wine from our tempting collection. From alcohol to cakes and hampers filled with savoury goods, there’s plenty to whet your appetite here. I told her she was missing out - after all, they weren't just any vegan truffles, they were M&S vegan truffles. She popped one in her mouth and, almost instantly, her entire demeanour changed.Laughing, she said: "I don't want any of that vegan s***." (Before any ravenous meat eaters cheer her on, or militant vegans vilify her, I must stress this was said in a very jokey, tongue-in-cheek kind of way.)

McDonald's was one of those rare places that could accommodate for me and my allergies during the early 00s. If you picture Alison Steadman's Pam from Gavin and Stacey faking being a vegetarian for fear of offending, or "not catering" correctly for Stacey's family upon meeting them for the very first time, and add in an extra dash of hosting anxiety, then you won't be far off an image of my boyfriend's mother. Iodine – look for products fortified in iodine to ensure you get enough, such as some milk alternatives. It’s also found in seaweed, for example sushi rolls, however, it tends to be high in iodine so only small amounts are needed. And she was right. These little truffles are like tiny morsels of heaven, dusted in a delightfully bitter cocoa powder that is perfectly juxtaposed with the sweetness of the truffles. Every single bite is decadent, rich and feels like pure indulgence.

No Pork Streaky Bacon (£3)

According to the company: “M&S is this year launching its first full vegan Christmas dinner with a mouth-watering plant protein centrepiece, vegetables, roast potatoes, gravy, stuffing and even no pigs in duvets (plant protein pigs in blankets).”
