IMPOSSIBLE SAUSAGE IS HERE AND I TRIED IT

REVIEW: IMPOSSIBLE SAUSAGE – 14 oz. tube – new to us – cooks like Impossible Beef – starts out soft, ends up hard – textures less fatty though. Firms up as you cook it. Sausage flavors are subtle, maybe too subtle when compared to other plant meats, especially Light Life Gimme Lean. Due to the neutralContinue reading “IMPOSSIBLE SAUSAGE IS HERE AND I TRIED IT”

Fried Cauliflower WHOLE FOODS

Steve was in that part of town today, so stopped in to have a look around at WHOLE FOODS. CAME HOME WITH LOTS OF GOODIES.

One item was fromContinue reading “Fried Cauliflower WHOLE FOODS”

Daiya Blue Cheeze Dressing Salad

What a surprise this blue cheeze dressing made by daiya turned out to be.

A delicacy, hardly a necessity. No, they do not willinglyContinue reading “Daiya Blue Cheeze Dressing Salad”

Lawsuit claims Burger King’s Impossible Whoppers are contaminated by meat

CNAP RESPONSE: Burger King’s claim that The Impossible Whopper is 100% Whopper and 0% beef is not true. It can’t be both. A 100% beef whopper is not 100% Impossible Whopper. A Whopper is defined as containing 100% animal product, namely beef. In addition, nobody calls a Whopper, a Whopper Sandwich. I’ve never heard it, exceptContinue reading “Lawsuit claims Burger King’s Impossible Whoppers are contaminated by meat”

Dairy-Free Yogurts I Don’t Like

Go back to the drawing board. Why is it that when somebody gets into the dairy replacement manufacturing business, they have to do it all? Do you really think that cheese makers or milk sellers around the globe take that kitchen sink approach to products they intend to sell? No. They don’t. How many dairiesContinue reading “Dairy-Free Yogurts I Don’t Like”

DAIYA PROVOLONE STYLE SLICES

Daiya’s dairy free Provolone is soft-textured, melts easily and has a strong cheese flavor that Steve said tasted just like provolone to him. I thought is was a little too yeasty and not salty enough for provolone, but I’d certainly buy and use it again. Next time, I’d add other ingredients to the sandwich meltContinue reading “DAIYA PROVOLONE STYLE SLICES”
