Hey, welcome! While I’m not a native, I’ve lived here for a few years now and would be happy to share some info!
I have to say I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the amount of vegetarian stuff you can buy in most supermarkets here. My go-to for just adding a meat replacement into a dish is any of the “Quorn” branded stuff. I will say though that normally it needs quite a bit of salt added to it. Especially the mince is great though if you want to do something like a stir-fry or burritos.
Their cold-cut looking selection is also pretty decent (the vegetarian ham slices etc), I prefer the vegetarian over the vegan options though, I think they taste a bit better
Other than that, there is a brand called “Linda McCartney”, their stuff is pretty nice as well and on offer quite a lot.
I haven’t been to Aldi and Lidl in a while now, not sure if they have any off-brand/own-brand options that are decent but I think it’s worth a try. Anyway, welcome :)
And be careful when you’re in traffic, people here are terrible drivers
Edit: oh and I forgot to say about oat milk: you can get Oatly at Tesco, Sainsbury’s etc, there is also a nice brand called Minor Figures, they have it at Tesco and Lidl sometimes. Otherwise Asda (another cheap-ish supermarket chain) and Lidl have their own brand of barista-style oat milk, can’t remember the name off the top of my head but it’s easily as good as Oatly and much cheaper
Thank you so much! I’ll try looking for those brands around!
I’ve actually almost entered into a motorcycle already, crossing the road I’m not watching on the right side yet, especially when there is a roundabout
But the people here are very very very nice I have to say, or I am good to speak with nice people
