I'm looking for advice on meat-substitute products that aren't totally disgusting (like boca products ). I'm not vegan, but a family member recently decided to become one so I'm trying to help her out by being vegetarian/vegan at least some of the time. Any recommendations/recipes would be very much appreciated.

i don't mind. plus, i get to torture her occasionally when she misses something like ice cream. it's fun.

That Boca stuff is nastay!

I'm not a vegan, but my sister is and she seems to love the Morningstar Farms products. Her freezer is full of that stuff


I don't how this stuff tastes though 'cause I refuse to eat it

Is pizza a meat?

2the9s said:

It has cheese on it, so that is a no-no for vegans!

why couldn't you get blown up by a random gas pipe?

Morningstar farms has a mean faux sausage patty. I always get down on that stuff with my breakfast burritos.

evenstar3 said:

I *knew* you had something to do with that.

Don't do it Laurel! I prefer it if your breasts are nice and plump so keep eating meat.

Don't blame me if you end up with National Geographic breasts.

If you haven't tried Morningstar Farms buffalo wings, you're totally missing out, seriously.

Trader Joes also makes FANTASTIC tofu corn dogs...though their other veggie meat substitutes suck.

If you're not into all that meat substitute stuff, then you can always make yummy and healthy stir fry dishes with pretty much whatever veggies you like. I like spicy so I always add in lots of Chinese chili sauce and maybe even some hot peppers. Serve it with jasmine rice. Good stuff.

OR, you can cube tofu and sautee it in garlic oil, and make veggie skewers with tofu and sauteed/grilled veggies...served with peanut sauce or sweet'n'sour sauce, it's good eats.

Or, hell, just make a pot of black beans and rice - leave out meat-based ingredients and have fun with spices and seasonings. There's TONS of Mexican and Italian food you probably already eat that don't involve meat and you just don't think about it.

thanks everyone!

I hardly eat any meat any way. I just don't like those meat substitutes. I've tried some of the Boca products and I hated them

Thank of your tits!

they taste like plastic-y death!

Imago said:

nah, they're good but they don't need to be thanked or anything.

live4lust said:

with a spokesperson like you, all i can say is keep up the good work. get your face out there.

evenstar3 said:

you guys are, like, taking them out of the wrapping before you cook them, right?

Anxiety said:
