I was blown away by how the “chicken” tasted. Slathering them in sauce is a little bit harder; our chick’n bites never looked anything like the picture on the box. Love the baseball analogy! My daughter who is a vegetarian said I will love it as well. These faux meat bites are plain on their own, but they’re packed with flavor once you pour on the sauce. .-= Sagan´s last blog ..The Living Healthy in the Real World Guide to Grocery Shopping, Part Six: Healthy Shopping Tips =-. I discovered Gardein at Yard House and got hooked. I’m upgrading this product to the majors. I bought it a few times but eh, I chose to try other products that I ended up liking more so I haven’t had the Pulled Pork in a while. I have given you a Beautiful (we can cell it Hnadsome) Blogger Award! Thank you for the review. The Chick’n Filets weren’t as good; they had sort of a slimy texture and a very fake taste, perhaps because there was nothing to mask it. My daughter is on a no meat diet so when I stumbled across this in the frozen food section I figured why not try it. . When asked how this felt, he replied,”It’s better than being the best player in the minor leagues.”. Why can’t we just try new foods that taste different and sometimes even better? I think I’m going to try the “pulled pork” variety next. I’ll soon be trying their other products. I just tried gardein hot wings for the first time. I was hooked on the Beefless Strips for a a few months but I think I ate it so much that I got sick of it. Opened the package (quickly buried that in the bottom of the trash), used a little olive oil, swirled them around a glass dish, put them in the oven on 475 till a little dark/crispy on the outside (trick is to slightly dry out a smidgen to make them a little more meatballish), and added them to the suga sauce. Please try your “sausage patty” plain, you may be poisoning yourself. But I’ve tried some Gardein products before and they WERE the best . I tried three Gardein products: Seven Grain Crispy Tenders (tossed in buffalo sauce, of course), BBQ Pulled Shreds, and Chick’n Filets. I can’t stay away from that place! Three words: De lic ious. http://sweetestthingdc.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/beautiful-blogger-award/ I’ll keep my eyes out for these products the next time I’m considering fake meat. Thank you for the info about Gardein products I can only hope that plant based ready to eat products will become quality foods for our Gardein Vegan Chicken Breast, 3.8 Ounce -- 50 per case. Honestly I was so disappointed and just did not believe it so I braved another bite (I really can eat anything!) Anyway, I narrowed it down to the smell of toilet cleaner and there is no doubt whatsoever that some disinfectant was on at least that batch. Please try again later. But I want something that tastes good. I’m seventy and never considered eating fake meat foods. The first two were really good—though I can’t say they really tasted like meat, they really did “seem” like meat. I think that was the first time I’ve ever met a blog person in real life! 3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as other Gardein products. .-= Holly (The Healthy Everythingtarian)´s last blog ..Catch-Up =-. We were FREAKED out. If only there was more attention focused on advertising healthy choices. My kids usually eat Quorn chicken nuggets but we were excited to try these. I would also love to see cold cuts to make a wonderful and refreshing sandwich. For being a meatless product, I actually really enjoyed my experience with the chick'n nuggets. I’ll be interested to see what you make with it. Be careful when you bite into them, however, because they’ll be really hot in the middle. For comparison, check out a Gardein ingredient list: water, soy protein, vital wheat gluten, ancient grains (quinoa, amaranth, millet and kamut), natural flavors (from plant sources), potato starch, expeller pressed canola oil and/or safflower oil, pea protein, modified vegetable gum, carrot fiber, organic beet root fiber, organic evaporated cane juice, yeast extract, vinegar, sea salt. The composition of these vegan strips is a mix of pea protein and wheat gluten. I’ve yet to find a vegetarian alternative, but the ones I’ve had are good as is. They only sell the Teriyaki version now. Evan, I really didn’t have an intention! I can’t wait to try the ultimate hamburger. I have been a vegetarian for about 5 and a half years, and always preferred morning star. What really separates Gardein from the rest of the meat-imposters is the ingredients: On multiple occasions, I’ve picked up buffalo “chicken” tenders from other fake-meat brands, only to put them back down after reading the ingredient list, longer than a steriod-juiced homerun and teeming with all variety of manipulated soy products. I have been eating the Gardien breakfast patties on breakfast sandwiches made at my local market. See it here and then pass it to others… It’s quite potent, so the sauce included in the packet is more than enough. Part of the process is also to switch from the mindset of eating animals. Why not just sell the whole foods, like soybean (tofu) chunks in a sauce that tastes good? We read the bag 10 times and googled just to make sure..and found this! Well, guess I’m a late learner! I know some people will disagree that eating things that are “meatlike” is not very vegan. But it’s one I believe is absolutely critical to the long term health of our movement, and that’s why I’m committed to sharing it. , Hi Katie, always fun to meet other Baltimore people… I was just in the city yesterday, at Caribou Coffee. But if you’re anything like me, you’re interested in much more than survival — you want to thrive. What gives? Gardeins needs to have family sized portions. Every once in a while it’s fun to go to a minor league game, and if you’re going to go, you might as well see the top draft picks play, or perhaps former stars who are shells of the players they once were, hanging on now for the sheer love of the game. Nicki, my sister packaged some of our leftovers up for her boyfriend to take to work the next day and didn’t tell him it wasn’t chicken. ??? Yay! Allura Hays. This is definitely our new favorite! I liked your blog and I understood your baseball comparison. The Chicken Strips( plain) needed a lot of seasonings before I liked it and the other Chicken products that are fried in oil came out good but the oil kinda turned me off to it. They look like dog biscuits but they are great with red sauce and cheese. I LOVE all of the Gardein veggi Meats. It’s quite potent, so the sauce included in the packet is more than enough. And with breading on the tenders and bbq sauce on the shreds, both of which were actually very tasty, it was easy to forget that what I was eating didn’t come from a slaughtered animal. Originally posted on influenster.com My kids usually eat Quorn chicken nuggets but we were excited to try these. Your email address will not be published. Gardein is really good ….. trust me, and it’s sure a lot better than eating the corpse of some poor animal. The veg chikn products are what I really like. I loved it!

To me, the guy who once drove seven hours through the night for a Carolina pulled pork sandwich and whose biggest worry about going vegetarian was that he’d never again get to eat buffalo wings, this came as a pleasant surprise. The texture and all were right on. the way I look at it is if I can get my non-vegan kids, hubby and friends to eat this instead of an animal, its a win. eval(ez_write_tag([[728,90],'freezermealfrenzy_com-box-3','ezslot_10',103,'0','0']));As is the case with many saucy dishes, the Mandarin sauce comes in a separate container, which you can thaw in hot water while your chick’n cooks.
