    So I was a finalist in gardein’s facebook contest and won a free month’s supply of gardein products! (12 free product coupons) Thanks for anyone who voted for me on here!

    Thing is I have never even had any gardein products even though I have been meaning to try them for a long time it is just I normally have a freezer shelf already full of morning star, boca and my other veg*n products. So for those of you who have had gardein which products would you suggest I try first? As I know from other brands of mock meat their products can be rather hit or miss!

    I don’t know what products the stores are going to have at the time but when I look on the website I am thinking about first trying like

    bbq skewers
    beefless burger
    beefless sliders
    meatless meatballs
    chick’n patty
    breakfast patties
    turk’y cutlet
    crispy chick’n filets
    barbecue wings

    haha well named a few more than I meant too (but that is only 9 and I can get 12 anyhow but I could get duplicates) there is a few more I’d think about trying. So any opinions on the ones I listed or do you think I should try one of their products I didn’t list? (but note I like my foods pretty plain)

    Nice win, please post later on when you have tried them. I rather hear about something before trying it for myself, learned that the hard way.

    1.) BBQ skewers = super-chewy and tasty
    2.) Beefless burger = tastes like real beef patty that it scares omnivors
    3.) Turk’y cutlet = meh

    And that’s about all I can tell you from the list! And their fried chick’n item is so good!

    I LOVE their stuff. My favorites are their Beefless Burger, Chicken Fingers (don’t like the chipotle lime ones, but maybe that’s just me), the Mandarin Chicken, and the Beefless Tips. I actually use the Beefless Tips and Daiya Cheese to make vegan steak and cheese.

    Ahh that’s awesome! My favorite product from them are their Beefless Tips. My boyfriend and I always make them with rice pilaf and a veggie, or put them in stir fry. They’re soo good! Their Beefless Burgers are also the best veggie burgers I’ve ever had. Like @keepTHEfaith, I also like the Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick’n and the Seven Grain Crispy Tenders, but the orange chick’n always comes out chewy when I make it. It doesn’t bother me much because I love it for something to put in stir fry, but if you don’t like chewy meatless meats, I’d suggest passing on them. Oh and one more, the Chick’n Scallopinis are pretty amazing. I love Gardein. (:

    Well I didn’t know if they stopped selling them in Scotland etc so didn’t say UK. Not sure why it matters?

    @chenli Ask them to come back (and please say UK because I live in England but I am Scottish and spend a lot of time there).
    I would love to try their products!

    Jealous…we used to have gardein products in England, but for some reason they stopped. Their meatballs and steaks were lovely…:(

    The mandarin orange crispy chick’n along with the seven grain crispy tenders are great. Their beef less burgers are also fantastic !! The only thing I’d watch out for are the sauces that come along with the food, (I’m not sure if you eat honey of not) but I know at least one of them contains honey, even though the package was marked vegan. Anyways, congrats on winning, their products are great ! :D

    I am a vegetarian, lover of animals, supporter of positive acts; i feel strongly about freedom , and NeverShoutNever is my music and I'm very open-minded :D

  • jpatr1d

    I have always loved animals, no matter what shape,size, color, species they are. I started as a vegetarian a few years ago, but i only knew that i didn't want to eat animal. i stoped for a while when i lost my job and ate what i could. no excuse i know. but soon later to realized my mission in life and purpose. i am here to be the voice of those who do not speak human. i changed my outlook to this because i found a boxer mix dog laying under my porch. she had gotten hit by a car and was severely starved. everyone around me was like leave it alone, you don't know where it came from, but i didn't care i had to save her. i rushed her to the emergency vet clinic where they did immediate surgery on her. despite those peoples commentary i saved a dogs life and from that point on i knew that if people treated a dog that way i wonder how people treat non domestic animals. I researched and came across peta2 where i now am an animal activist and vegan. I continue to help and save animals that i find and plan on never changing my ways for any one.
