  • I love meat/ cheese/ milk substitutes!

    My freezer is full of all kinds of brands. The only thing I have not tried are the fake hot dogs. I just can't "go there!" I love the meat crumblers, and the buffalo chicken nuggets. My kids (12 and 7) love them too, and they're meat eaters! Way back when they first started coming out with the fake stuff, it really was not good at all, in fact it was nasty to me, but they have come a long way.
  • Quote: Is this the almond cheese you are talking about? It is SO good.


    Nelie, I'm not sure if it is vegan - if it is, you should try it. Mmmm.
    Unfortunately, it's not vegan. They won't make a vegan version because they say that they can't get it to melt the way they like it to without the casein.
  • I absolutely adore President's Choice meatless items. My all time favorite is the Portabella Swiss burgers Not sure of the Calorie content though

  • I've heard that MF is eliminating egg whites from many of their products. I hope they come out with a vegan Tomato Basil Pizza Burger.
  • I think I'm the only person on earth that doesn't like the Tomato Basil Pizza Burger! It has a funny texture and I feel like I'm chewing paper. My husband and son don't detect it. I must be weird.
  • I used to be addicted to the Tomato Basil Pizza burgers. Then I started hating them so much, probably because I ate it too often. The same happened with black bean burgers.

    I haven't had a veggie burger (or any other faux-meat) in a while because lately, I've been on a noodle kick. I love Simply Asia noodle bowls. Perhaps I will get sick of those too. I need to stop eating them anyway because they're sabotaging my diet.
  • Funny, I'm a long time vegetarian (well, pescatarian for the past coupla years), and the Boca burgers are my least favorite because they seem too much like real meat to me! I'm just looking for something handy and patty-shaped with protein - a substitute for the convenience rather than the actual substance, I guess.
