Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 I really like Smart Dogs (from Lightlife), but they must be boiled NOT microwaved unless you like them rubbery. Have you tried them? Great with vegetarian baked beans for beanies and weanies! Hmmm . . . vegetarian chicken - I love the Quorn roast (more like turkey than chicken though), Morningstar Farms chicken nuggets, buffalo wings, and chick patties (none are vegan). I'll have to try the Gardenburger meatless balls - Gardenburger rib patties are really good. I like most meat substitutes actually, if it doesn't taste exactly like meat (for example Fakin' Bacon) I usually still like it. Meateaters tend to be real skeptical though which makes it tough. Good luck with the BF, at least he's willing to try meat substitutes!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 my favorite tofu dogs were soy boy not dogs which unlike other dogs were not precooked but you could nuke them and they would harden as they cooked. ah they were so good but unfortunately they have vanished off the face of the earth at least in southern california. if anyone still sees them around please let me know. I have also in the past asked if anyone remembers solar tacos they could be eaten cold, but they too disappeared. well stay cool Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 We don't have that many meat substitutes where I am. I wish we did. We have the garden burgers and some hot dogs. I think we have some fake chicken too. Oh, we also have the crumbled fake hamburger. That's the one I use the most. But, that's about it. I wish we had a bigger selection.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 It's funny, but I don't really like the Gardenburger Meatballs. There's some random brand (I don't remember the name right now) that I picked up at the store that I really do like, tho. Janice, never be afraid to ask at your supermarket for them to carry certain items. And get your friends to ask, too. If the item has a market, they will stock it. As for meat substitutes, I really like the LightLife Smart Ground taco flavor. I dice some peppers and onions, saute them, then add the ground and a dash of hot sauce and heat through. They're great on tacos and fools the carnivores most of the time. Also, it's very reminiscent of grade school cafeteria days, with that enormous pump bottle of hot sauce and trying not to let any goop land on your clothes.... Ah the days :-) , " ~Janice Macak~ " <serenity1@m...> wrote: > We don't have that many meat substitutes where I am. I wish we did. We have the garden burgers and some hot dogs.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 It the LightLife taco stuff like crumbled up fake meat? I'd like to try it. It sounds good.
