Post your recent vegetarian/vegan finds here, please.
I'll start...

We have a Wild Oats. I am IN LOVE with the Ramen-esque instant rice noodle soup they sell. Dude, 59 cents, vegan, 4 minutes. Can't be beat. I love the Thai Ginger and the Spring Onion.

Also, DreamFoods Volcano Lime Burst lime juice. NOT from concentrate. This is the MOST choice lime addition for miso or...well, I like it in my beer.

Gawd, but I'm hungry now. Anyway...you?

1. I know exactly what you're talking about.
I found those things a couple of years ago, and I had never in my life had ramen or anything like that. I suddenly felt as though I'd joined civilization!

At the same time, I'm completely the wrong person to talk to about new vegan finds. I'm super-duper slow to try new products. I guess the only one that I can come up with (and it's been around for 10 years) is the field roast line. I've only tried the original loaf, though, because that's what they sell in my neighborhood deli.

2. My friends and I got a cake last night
It was soooooo good.

It was from here, but she doesn't have the cakes online, I assume because they don't ship well. Anyhow, they other stuff is all awesome too. http://www.aznaglutenfree.com/

3. TJ's Red Pepper Eggplant Spread
I layered potatoes, eggplant, mushrooms and red pepper with this spread and a little extra garlic and salt and baked for an hour at 350. Simple but good.

5. Oh no! I hope I never see noodles in a package again, vegan means nothing
Amigo, I ate that forcibly because there was nothing else during my 10 yr life in the fast lane and craving for something budget wise for my reduced salary and forced long duty hours.

And I ate them all, all 4 varieties till I was sick of the oil based yellowey sauce. I tried making my own sauce, tried it without sauce, tried it with packaged reconstituted beans, hummus, spinach, tried it with veggie bouillon cubes, .... at first I was like you, glad to find something cheap and fast but for me the no 1 reason was: something easy to carry on long sojourns cross country. I eventually ODed on the stuff and substituted other items I rotated around. A long term diet of that stuff is not recommended. I still have the remnants of a pack or two that have been in the cupboard for at least 3 years. I keep it for emergency supplies (in case I ever make that duct tape shelter for the "big one")

Thanks. Today I am feasting on a homemade lentil veggie dish slow cooked in the crock pot with fresh steamed jasmine rice (all organic, made from scratch) with fresh organic aritsan ciabatta bread with an organic antipasto of celery sticks with soyonnaise, olives, and grape tomatoes

10. A P P L E S
That time of year, in Washington especially, for crisp organic apples from the fruit laden arms of those wonderful trees, more generous and kind than the oak giant that leaned onto our rooftop in last week's gusts of autumnal wind.

Jonagold -- Gala -- Granny Smith -- Macintosh

And Full Woman, Fleshly Apple, Hot Moon, those scrumptious recipes for delight, "overflowing with the joy of language," selected poems of Pablo Neruda, translated by Stephen Mitchell.

Like the "Ode to the Onion"


Onion,
luminous flask,
your beauty formed
petal by petal,
crystal scales expanded you
and in the secrecy of the dark earth
your belly grew round with dew.
....

and the fragrance of the earth lives
in your crystalline nature.

11. Tasty Bite Indian food.
Welp, it's food in a bag you just drop in boiling water. I know, it doesn't sound very good.

But hey, I just didn't want to cook...and it was good!

I had something called "Bombay Potatoes," which was essentially what I've called 'cholley' for years (also called channa masala, or very similar to it).



Cam also tried the palak paneer--curried spinach and cheese.


It's shelf-stable for 18 months, so it's good for camping and for emergency supplies, and they only cost $2-$3 apiece. Yay! New food!

12. The eggplant one is really good, and vegan.
It's spicy, a bit oily, really good over rice because the flavor of it soaks in.
