Recently, my oldest daughter has been starting to refer to them as " soy meat " , but I don't like that as much. I'd rather emphasize the veggie part.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 What are the deli slices made of? For instance, if they have a soy/tofu base what about " tofurkey " . I use that when I play " this little piggie " with my baby: this little piggie went to the health food store this little piggie stayed home this little piggie had tofurkey this little piggie had none and this little piggie.... :-) Sonia In a message dated 7/29/2002 6:33:53 PM Eastern Standard Time, writes: > Hello everyone! > > My daughter loves Yves luncheon deli slices, but I don't know what to > call them when I offer them to her.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 We have the same dilemma. We call it " veggie meat " for lack of anything better to call it, but I'd like to hear what others do. >Hello everyone! > >My daughter loves Yves luncheon deli slices, but I don't know what to >call them when I offer them to her.

Our little piggie still goes to the market but the one that eats has either broccoli or tofu. Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 Oh the little piggy! I always catch myself in midsentence, " and this little piggy had roast-..... TOFU " - (and then I pause to give a short speech about meat and continue from there). One of these days I'll remember to be more creative from the outset! It's about time my little piggies started shopping at the co-op. iucsonia wrote: What are the deli slices made of? For instance, if they have a soy/tofu base what about " tofurkey " .

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 Sonia, I like that one. This is what we use... This little piggie went to the sanctuary This little piggie stayed home This little piggie had organic produce This little piggie had none This little piggie went 'Go Vegan, Go Vegan, Go Vegan' all the way home.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 I've always preferred artificial, simulated turkey-like product. Sometimes we refer to them as felt pads. It's an odd family, but it's mine. Phil Welsher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 We usually use the brand or product names like Wham, Bocaburger, Griller, Diced Chik, Fry Chik, Saucettes or TVP. When that isn't possible we say daddy burgers, the kind dad makes, or veggie meat. We said This Little Piggie according to tradition, but we're sad for the pigs who went to market or who ate roast beef, and happy for the other pigs. Poor piggies... I think kids really only like the wee wee wee part though. --- Be kind. Be of good cheer. Dick Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 We just call them deli slices. as for the little piggie rhyme we still used market ( we figure that's a pretty general term) as for what the piggies had ... we started out saying bananas as that's what my dd liked to eat most when we started saying it but now both of my children just shout out what ever food meets their fancy at the moment. they are not babies anymore but they still like the rhyme and we some times have to repeat a numeroues times so they can keep changing thew foods and where the piggies go, ours go to the mall, the pool, visiting people and all kinds of other places...lol iucsonia wrote:What are the deli slices made of?
