OK, my son has been meatless for almost 5 weeks now.
I was vegitarian a long time ago with the fish protein added.
But now that I eat meat, I am getting more in the habit of only fish, chicken and turkey.
I bought some Boca Burgers the other day and they were horrible.
They tasted like some one had froze a hamburger and left the bag unsealed and it was overly freezer burnt.
I wasted it. I added onion and garlic powder and cheese, still, gross.....
I guess I will have to make my own veggie burgers in the future.
Your take??

The Morningstar Farm burgers are good. Taste more "veggie" but good. Also, Amy's products (including burgers) are tasty. Also, try using a portabella mushroom cap as a "patty". It has a meaty texture and a good flavor.
I also like the Morningstar Farm corn dogs!!
I have been trying Amy's and Cedarlane foods lately. I like to have a quick choice for lunches sometimes. The Cedarlane Veggie and Couscous wrap is really good and the monterey jack and mushroom tamales, as well as Amy's Mexican Tamale Pie, Santa Fe Enchilada Bowl, Teriyaki Bowl and Brown Rice, Tofu and Veggies Bowl. The Amy's soups are great too!0 -
This isn't meatless but follows on something (gosh I think it was you) you commented on before. You said you didn't like turkey bacon because it was too chewy. I have been eating butterball thin and crispy turkey bacon 3 slices 50 calories and I it is really good and I make it on my flat indoor grill/griddle and it comes out so good. Just a heads up. I bought lots of packs too b/c it was like 1.25 on sale or something like that and now I have my weekend breakfasts hooked up.
Oh and I have three boca burgers in my freezer up for grabs if anyone wants them. (I forgot those were the ones I despised when I bought them)0 -
Gardenburger brand BBQ riblets are really good. I also love the Morningstar Farm Chik Patties and Nuggets, and the corn dogs are good too. And pretty much anything from Amy's is delicious.0

Morningstar Farms faux-chicken products are the best! The chicken nuggets, and the chicken filet for sandwiches are soooo tasty. The veggie sausage they make is tasty too, but I don't remember what the patties taste like.
Also...there's a smaller brand...can't remember the name...they sell it at Trader Joe's. It might actually be Trader Joe's brand...but all of the meatless products from them are very good. Jucier than most, with lots of flavor.0 -
I like lightlife chicken strips. Garden Burger Ribs are the shiznit! My daughter loves morning star* corn dogs and chicken nuggets. The plain tofurky deli slices are pretty darn good on a sandwich.
Morning star has eggs in it ... FYI if that matters to him. I don't eat them, but my daughter doesn't mind eggs like I do.0 -
I hate Boca Burgers too! I did find that I love, love, love Morningstar Black Bean Burgers.0

OK, thanx, Morning star it is.....0

I really like the Quorn brand "chicken" products..they taste like chicken, but are made from vegetable protein. The only problem I have with Morningstar Farms is that they are made from genetically engeneered soy.0

What about quorn products ? they sure taste awsome, there is egg in it through so dont eat those if you dont eat eggs,

The Morning Star Black Bean burgers are awesome (there are also lots of recipes for making your own out there). Boca Chickn patties are excellent too. I especially like the spicy ones!
I hated the regular Boca burgers at first also but I found the trick is to put some Worcestershire sauce and a little garlic powder on them and then cook them on the grill. They come out with a good flavor and not as mushy as cooking them in the oven. Try it sometime!0 -
If you are avoiding butter, try Earth Balance spread. None of the bad stuff of either butter or margerine.0

I tried the Morningstar Farm Buffalo Wings and they were really tasty! I was actually surprised at how good they were. I like spicey, so it hit the spot with me. :drinker:0

thank you, I think I will go online for some coupons/......0
