Guest guest Report post Posted November 18, 2003 I've gotten tofurky roast the past couple years and liked it, but now I see my whole foods is carrying the " Now and Zen " Unturkey Feast too. The roast is five pounds compared with tofurkey, which is less than a pound. I was just wondering if any of you have tried the unturkey, and how it compares to tofurkey roast. Your feedback is much appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted November 19, 2003 don't know where you are but I had a tofurkey thing last year that came ina big box and had a tofurkey section with stuffing and then some drumsticks made from tempeh and a kind of wish bone thing too. It was horrible though, apart from the stuffing. I didn't really like it. I'll have to look out for that Now and Zen thing, just purely because that makes me laugh. dave [dave4sale]18 November 2003 20:23 Subject: tofurky vs. unturkeyI've gotten tofurky roast the past couple years and liked it, but nowI see my whole foods is carrying the "Now and Zen" Unturkey Feasttoo.

Guest guest Report post Posted November 20, 2003 I've never tried the Now and Zen Unturkey feast. I might have to give it a try this year. I do love Tofurky though. Some complain about it taisting to much like meat. I personally dont remember what meat tastes like, but my flesh eatting siblings say it tastes nothing like the real thing.I just know that I like it. I also LOVE the gravy. My favorite left over is tofurky and mustard on one of my moms home made vegan roals.Yummy.... I cant wate.
