Hey everyone! đź‘‹
I bring some exciting news today!
Pasta Bolognese is BACK! 🍝
You spoke, we listened. We’re bringing this back to the USA today. We’ve worked on this and we’ve turned up the tomato richness, added subtle sun-dried notes, and finished it off with a smooth hint of oregano. It’s still the hearty, satisfying meal you know and love, just with a deeper red sauce, an upgraded mince and pasta, and a flavour that’s more in line with classic American-style meat sauces 🤌
You can get this RIGHT NOW RIGHT [HERE](https://huel.com/products/hot-and-savoury-meal-packs)🙌
We’ve refreshed our 12-Meal Pack Variety Box and it’s better than ever and you’ll be able to get your hands on this from the 1st July!
You asked, we listened… and now we’re thrilled to introduce Pasta Bolognese to the lineup! 🍝🔥
Here’s what’s inside your new box of deliciousness:
- 2x Pasta Bolognese
- 2x Thai Green Curry
- 2x Mexican Chili
- 2x Chick’n & Mushroom
- 2x Cajun Pasta
- 1x Spicy Indian Curry
- 1x Yellow Coconut Curry
👉 This goes live on the 1st July (Next Tuesday) and you’ll find [here](https://huel.com/products/hot-and-savoury-meal-packs).
Also, just a reminder that we still have our old pouches available at a discounted price on our outlet. You can find them [here](https://huel.com/products/hot-and-savoury-pouches-outlet)
Got questions? Drop them in the comments, we’re always happy to help! ✌

I really like the new Hot & Savory variety pack. First, I like the box itself; it’s shaped like the regular single flavor boxes which helps with storage. Second, I really like the new Pasta Bolognese recipe. The original tends to give me indigestion, but the new recipe doesn’t. I’ll be ordering one of these monthly.

So glad to hear you’re enjoying the Meal Packs! I’m a big fan of the new Pasta Bolognese recipe, too!! ❤

I wish you had vegans in mind… The only one I really liked was Thai Green Curry, but the new version is not palatable.
Chick’n and mushroom tastes way worse too, so I’m afraid to even try any of the other ones.

Hey there! All of our products are vegan! What is it about the taste and/or texture that you’re not enjoying?
If you could reach out to [support@huel.com](mailto:support@huel.com) with more details, including the batch information from your pouches, that would be much appreciated! They can also help you out with an exchange or return!

Thanks for the reply!
I know the product is vegan, but it’s trying to taste like it’s not…
I tried out all the flavors, I was figuring out which ones I like, and set up a subscription. It was disappointing to see that I can’t count on the same thing being delivered. Looks like you either discontinue them or change the flavors… Now I would have to try them all again to see if I like them.
And I can say, Thai Green Curry was my favorite, I could have it every day. Now it’s way too spicy and has chewy chunks in it. Not enjoyable at all.
I wish the flavors were more vegetable based and not revolving around fake meat and heavy spices. For example, I love mushrooms, but the spices and fake chicken ruins it for me.

Thanks for clarifying! I can definitely appreciate wanting something less “meaty”! I’ll pass this along. The changes in flavor were an attempt to make the meals more authentic to their inspiration dishes rather than to imitate meat specifically, as described by [Tim](https://www.reddit.com/r/Huel/comments/1jzrkbu/hot_savoury_update_reminders_other_news_from_tim/), but I definitely understand how the smokier flavor and protein chunks give this effect!

There have been quite a few changes recently! We always send a heads-up email before swapping an item in a subscription or short-shipping/delaying an order, to give you time to change it, but I definitely understand how emails can be missed and how it can be frustrating to experience so many changes, regardless!
Our reformulation of our Hot & Savory is an effort to make sure this product category, and these particular flavors, can stick around for a long time. We may not hit the mark for everyone, but we really appreciate this feedback as it helps us to improve! I’ll pass it along to the Product Team.
