Thats less than a penny per gram of protein. Would have thought thats pretty hard to beat.

Just make sure to put some effort into flavouring it, otherwise you'll think it's too bland.

H&B do sell it, but for the real bargains go to an indian supermarket. They refer to is as "soya mince" though.
For recipes, search in the recipes section. I've posted about 5 of them.
It wouldn't be nice in a stir fry though, it's more suited to things like bolognese, chili, lasagne, shepherds pie.... Things you'd use mince for.

IIRC pilchards are cheaper than tuna and you get a lot more nutrition for your money too
