They were the first people to expose me to vegetarian food as I went to one of their holiday camps in the mountains as a child and gave my parents huge problems when I came back and refused to eat meat :)Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11400551733221594392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-68373329088983673332007-05-02T06:39:00.000-07:002007-05-02T06:39:00.000-07:00PS: Instead of the strips, you could use homemade...PS: Instead of the strips, you could use homemade seitan or "Breast of Tofu".

When we eat vegan "fast food", it's usually Tofurkey Italian Sausages! I like making my own seitan products, usually-- so much cheaper and I can flavor them how I like, use ingredients I like, etc...<BR/><BR/>For stir-fries, etc., I still like using tofu, and I really like using butlerfoods.com Soy Curls, a dried product that you can reconstitute to your own tastes. It's very economical, too, and makes a tender product. Are there any Seventh Day Adventists is SA? THey might be able to import Soy Curls. They last a long time (I keep them in the freezer.)Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-12824604982399690112007-05-02T01:01:00.000-07:002007-05-02T01:01:00.000-07:00Wish I could get all the wonderful ready made prod...Wish I could get all the wonderful ready made products available overseas but here in South Africa we get only Vegan burgers and sausages.<BR/>Still it's an improvement on the days when we couldn't even get soy milk :)<BR/><BR/>Did an entry on my blog about you and the Vegan Feast website yesterday. Nothing brilliant but does point Vegans, especially new ones who haven't come across your site yet, in your direction. I have learnt so much from you and I am sure they will as well.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11400551733221594392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-71537287666550488702007-05-01T11:06:00.000-07:002007-05-01T11:06:00.000-07:00Hi Bryanna,I agree with you about the marinade. I...Hi Bryanna,<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the marinade. I can get this product as Morningstar Farms Chick'n Strips Meal Starter. It is not heavily marinated as you described in It's All Good. It's not in sauce but it is seasoned.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why the company (Gardein) didn't sell it plain. The vegan restaurants close to me who use it got it plain from the company because they do sorts of of recipe with the Chick'n breasts. Once, I saw the plain 'breasts' in Whole Food, for sale, in their deli case. It was expensive and I didn't know about Gardeins at that time and didn't how it tastes so I didn't buy them. Now, Whole Foods use them as curried salad and other things in their deli case but don't sell them plain anymore.<BR/><BR/>I also like the Beef Strips. They are great for Fajitas.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your recipe!<BR/><BR/>BTW, Whole Foods called me the second time and told me that FOR SURE, they are not going to sell Sheese in their store. Oh well! :-( I don't miss cheese that much. <BR/><BR/>SIVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-43535648353281849452007-05-01T00:42:00.000-07:002007-05-01T00:42:00.000-07:00Hi Bryanna!

Not only are the flavours nostalgic for me but the dishes are so nice and quick to make!<BR/><BR/>I wanted to share that I recently tried two products from the "It's All Good" line. The more successful of the two was the Dijon/herb marinated "breasts" that you got. I agree that the merinade is just OK, but I thought it was quite good for a ready-made product. Overall the taste of these was much better than other product I tried, the fillets in lemon/herb rub. The texture was equally good in both, but the latter had a very overpowering "chickeny" taste, and not in a good way! The rub was barely noticable, but that might be because I pan-fried them. <BR/><BR/>I hope it's just bad luck with that particular flavour, because despite the price I really appreciate how varied and widely available this line of products is becoming.thephneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164909133960568961noreply@blogger.com
