I worked inside a Marmite factory once in Burton on Trent. It was probably the cleanest place Iāve ever been inside. It was pristine. My stubble was less than a day old and they made me wear a beard net.
Working thereā¦did you love it or hate it?
Itās not quite true, but may well happen depending on how well a reception it gets.
Bovril was vegan for a while during the BSE Mad Cow disease crisis, then went back to being dead cows.
Ahhh, the mere mention of pizza makes me salivate a bit. Itās been forever. Here in Illinois we pioneered the art in many ways, though I suspect if I were to have a slice of Chicago deep dish right about now I would quickly descend into a prolific food coma from which I may never recover.
I tried that, but I just end up eating all of it.
Just tried the Mexican Chilli for the first time tonight. Granted that this type of food is in my wheelhouse anyway, but this was absolutely splendid. As noted by others it has a pretty powerful smoky/chipotle type of flavor, and the texture is much creamier than my next in line in preference, the Thai Green Curry.
I added some diced peppers from my stockpile and some ghost pepper sauce and this was pure bliss. I might try adding some sweet corn next time I make it to give it some added contrast, but other than that, bravo Huel.
Just trying Mexican Chilli flavour for lunch. Tastes great, made my nose run Will update later on the state of my sensitive gut.
Edit: So so, but TGC suits me better.
I liked it. On a par with TGC. Neck and neck, but think THC remains fave. Luckily I have guts of steel
Another suggestion, I added some of my homemade salsa to the Mexican Chilli today. This was so obvious I canāt believe I overlooked it previously. Solid addition
Nice review mate, I treat you as a good source of truth on these things.
Had amended my subscription to Mexican to replace Tomato as Thai was my clear favourite. Looking forward to trying it.
Thanks so much all for the reviews! Keep them coming!
Oh god what have you done @David!
REVIEW: Nicely spicy, good texture and consistency for a chilli. For me, itās lacking a bit of flavour behind the heat. I mixed in a bit of T&H, and that gave it a bit of tang that really lifted it!
While Iām here can I just say I am loving the hot options! Iāve been able to combine them with Vanilla to create a mid-week menu thatās now 70% Huel, and thatās all thanks to the variety of the hot products. Great selection of flavours and the fact they have some texture means they really feel like a meal. Well done Huel team!
Itās certainly spicier than TGC, so thatās nice. Flavor-wise, it feels like thereās one taste that overpowers everything else - maybe itās the cilantro? I remember trying something with it once and finding it awful, and while I donāt have the same adverse reaction to the Mexican Chili, it still tastes and smells somewhat awkward to me.
Update on Mexican Chilli Flavour. BIG mistake! For those who donāt know, I suffer from IBS (non diarrhoea, sorry tmi) which I manage to keep on a reasonably even keel most of the time, thanks to Huel and by sticking to a low FODMAP diet for the most part. I can manage to eat the occasional (homemade) curry and found Huel TGC ok so thought I might be ok with the chilli. Wrong! I was ok until that evening when all kicked off big time. I blew up like a blimp and my whole gut felt like it was on fire. It is taking quite some time to settle so am having to be very careful what I eat right now. Lesson learned. No more chilli anything for me from now on!
Aww, thatās a shame. Itās a lovely tasting product too.
Yes I agree, it does taste good. Ah well, such is life. Some you win, some you lose.
that is sad.
Aw I hope your feeling a bit better now. I have a haitus hernia so wont be sampling the Mexican chilli. The TGC was touch and go. Great idea though. Hope a mushroom one becomes available and not with spice.
Thanks both Yes, I am feeling quite a lot better today. Still some soreness and bloating but mild compared to how it was.
I sympathise with you @vsc. I thought I had a HH at one stage but thankfully not.
So Iāve put in a cheeky interim order for a couple of TGC and El Huelo Loco Chilli! Oh and an extra cup because I love those things and it will make me eat more of this if i can be lazy.
Dunno when itāll arrive, Huelpost is usually pretty zippy around here but will update on my thoughts when it does.
Hoping it arrives with my ridiculous beer order so I can have an excuse to drink
