Tofurky ~ why I don't like Tofurky, but LOVE that it exists..

[Guest guest]

All of our tastes are different.

I am just thankful there are so many easy, simple,

and available vegetarian choices out there these days

so that many people who do not have time can

make a vegetarian " turkey " alternative and still

enjoy the whole feasting day right alongside their

omnivore friends.

I love that Tofurky was started by the inspiration of

a hippy vegetarian dude from the Pacific Northwest.

It has become so famous and has become a household

word across the country! How cool is that?!

 

I liked the way the Tofurky tasted and enjoyed making

it last Christmas, but it gave me burps! *lol* I know that

sounds gross, and trust me it was. I enjoyed tasting it once,

but not all day long, and it started to make me feel queasy.

The gravy doesn't do that, and other Tofurky products I have

tried are alright, too... so it was just the Tofurky roast thing

that didn't agree with my digestion.

I am glad it works for you and so man others in the world.

I hope the company that makes the Tofurky continues to do

well and make new vegetarian products to sweep the mainstream

market. I support this great eco-friendly company 100%!

Oh I LOVE the Tofurkey roast myself, and that's what I look forward to cooking

every Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I personally love the mushroom gravy that

comes with it.  If I was to have a complaint about it though, for me it would be

that it's too small and is therefore gone too fast!  LOL!

Hope everyone here enjoyed their Thanksgiving.
