Boojum kicks off 2024 with a tasty new plant based alternative
Boojum has just launched a tasty new plant-based, meat free alternative as part of their 2024 Veganuary campaign.
The limited-edition dish has been rolled out today across NI and ROI and will only be available for Boojum fanatics during the month of January.
Modelled off the traditional Latin American dish, MOCK® Carne Asada is rich, sweet, smoky and, in a Boojum first, is paired with their new Guajillo Chilli dipping sauce.
The Irish owned company has once again teamed up with UK based, meat free alternative, MOCK®, for the second year running following on from the huge success of their original collaboration last year with MOCK® Alt-Pastor, which proved so popular it became a permanent fixture on the menu.
MOCK® Beef has been carefully curated to ensure that it tastes just like the real thing, and paired with the new Guajillo Chilli dipping sauce, it comes packed with all the traditional big, bold, Boojum flavours.
The new sauce sees the company put their spin on the new viral food craze that has taken TikTok and Instagram by storm – the coveted dipping pot. This medium heat dipping sauce is included in every MOCK® Carne Asada meal and can also be added to any other main meal.
Paul McCullagh, Head of Marketing, said, “Every Veganuary, we challenge ourselves to release a product that is vegan friendly but still has all the taste and flavours that pack the same punch as our traditional meat options.
"Two of our three previous Veganuary products have made their way to our permanent menu due to unprecedented demand by veggies and non-veggies alike. This is something we are very proud of, and it tells us that the blend of ingredients our chefs carefully curate to make our vegan products taste just like traditional Mexican dishes, really do work.
As we see the popularity of Veganuary start to dwindle with other major food companies, we remain committed to delivering delicious vegan products and options for Boojum fans, while still helping protect the planet and change perceptions on plant-based produce!”
Harpreet Gill, Founder at MOCK®, says, “When Boojum got in touch and asked us to collaborate again, it was a no brainer due to last year’s success. We’re very proud of this new collaboration, and we are confident that Boojum’s customers will love MOCK® Carne Asada just as much as they love MOCK® Alt Pastor – possibly even more!”
MOCK® Carne Asada is available across all Boojum’s ordering channels from today, including in-store, click 'n’ collect and delivery until the end of January 2024.
