If you were being honest with yourself you'd admit that the best bit of a trip to Ikea is of course the hot dog you get to devour at the end of the three-hour browse of the market place.

But have you ever stopped to think about the vegetarians? Why would they even both to go to Ikea when there's no promise of a tasty treat at the other end to make it OK again?

Thankfully, it looks as though the design giant is listening to its customers and has announced the impending arrival of a new completely vegetarian hot dog by the end of the year.

Posting on their official food services Instagram account, Ikea introduced the veggie hot dog, explaining that they are testing it at the Malmo store in Sweden.

They wrote: "Adding a Veggie hot dog to the IKEA Bistro range is part of our ambitions to include more plant-based ingredients in our food offer. The final version of the Veggie hot dog will be available at IKEA stores in Europe from August 2018."

And, even better, Ikea is attempting to make the veggie dog that will hit our shelves 100% vegan through its food testing. They wrote to a concerned shopper: "the Veggie hot dog recipe does not contain animal ingredients as such. But for this prototype and test production we cannot yet secure that all additives are 100% vegan. It's work in progress!".

Fingers crossed they make it happen by August!
