Where in the UK sells vegetarian hotdogs? (particularly without needing delivery or a very long journey)?

Need to get hold of some in short order for a school demonstration to kids on meat substitutes, etc. Had a scour in supermarkets, their websites and the interweb at large and not turned up a great deal of promise (there's some frozen sausagey things, but... frozen hot dogs? I'm probably misinterpreting it there)... anyone care to drop me a hint please? Particularly if it might just require a jaunt to a local Morrisons or Somerfield, whose stocks I have yet to browse (or Asda/Tesco, because their sites need registration >_<). Perfectly happy to go to a smaller or independent outlet of course.

Could do with them being hot dogs / frankfurters as these can be easily heated in the departmental micro and delivered hot to the classroom, so they're obviously cooked and better for taste testing, rather than pre-cooking and having them ambiguously and blandly cold, or using messier/slower/less convenient methods. There's no end of traditional style grill/fry vege sausages available! :)

thanx

    you can get them in Tesco's but also try health food shops as they sometimes stock them. and as far as I can remember you can microwave them no problem

    they are great by the way

    The frozen frankfurters you are thinking of are probably Tival, which you can usually get in health food shops and some supermarkets; Sainsbury's own are exactly the same. Their heating time is only 1 -2 minutes (in boiling water) as I remember, and they can be microwaved.

    Kids absolutely love them in my experience. They're not suitable for vegans though.

    Sainsbury's used to have some on their 'own brand' range. However I think they might have stopped doing them. You could try 'Holland & Barrett' but that would be more expensive.

    Tesco's own brand frozen ones are really good! Authentic hotdog taste...no meat :o)

    the sainsbury's hot dogs apparently taste like the real thing. i've not eaten the real thing in years but i have it on good authority that that is the case.

    Holland and Barrett do them. And so do Adsa.
