Have you ever had Veat?

[bertha katzenengel]

I got some at Whole Foods. I wanted a Tofurkey but they were out.

I began eating it with relish. I told myself "a bit chewy, but not bad." Then I realized I really didn't like it.

I like ground beef-style soy in chili. It's probably good in spaghetti sauce. I got some "meatballs" - I'm cautiously optimistic about those. I prepared some veg "sausage" yesterday. The taste was almost right, but the consistency is off (of course. It's not meat).

Meh.

1. if you're not vegan

but "just vegetarian" :)

Quorn products are pretty darn good. We really like the "turkey roast" here. Even the non-veggie husband is okay with it. He really likes the leftover "turkey sandwiches".

Also, Hains makes some good vegetarian gravy. We tried the "Chicken" flavor this year. Pretty good.

6. Quorn has a fake veal pattie with Gruyere cheese. It's to die for.

But it's hard to find. My local Kroger sells it and sometimes they are completely out.

7. I've never seen that one.

2. Nope.

I've had tofurkey & unturkey. Those are pretty good, but they're a little too realistic for my taste.

I've never tried "meatballs"--they'd probably freak me out, too. (I'm pretty easy to fool!)

3. My favorite fake meat is Veggie Riblets

I just love 'em!! I love so many fake meats, that I can't understand why we're still killing animals for food.

But I've never had Veat.

4. My fave T-dinner replacement is

Smoked tofurky deli slices on an open faced sandwiche with mashed potatoes & gravy. If there is some good veg stuffing to go with, excellent.

As for the sausage replacement, I like Gimme Lean Sausage flavor. If you are making a sausage gravy, I highly recommend Vegan with a Vengeance's White Bean & Tempeh Sausage Gravy. A very tasty but more wholesome sausage gravy. Nate's Meatless Meat Balls, oven baked, are a decent meat replacement, but don't let them soak in any kind of sauce. If you want spaghetti & meatballs, or stroganoff with meatballs, serve the meatballs out of the sauce.

5. No. I browsed for my Xmas dinner for something different at the supermarket and

saw many items that have been mentioned in our forum....but did not see this one.

I did settle for the pre-made frozen veggie burgers (Boca) since I was pressed for time. I cooked it up with a special homemade sauce, and had some other special side dishes to accompany my special holiday evening off at home with my adopted "critter" family.
