Oh, wow! I used to order with Dixie Diners years ago, when we first

went veg and couldn't really find much locally. But the American

dollar was so high then, we could only do it once in a blue moon, as a

treat. Now it's par, so I can reacquaint myself with their products.

I looked for them a few months back, but couldn't remember the company

name and couldn't find them.

Glad I could help. I live in PA and it's like a time warp here! I can't find

much in the way of foods. I've started ordering in bulk through mail order

but can't afford to get a lot so every month I get a few things. I'm always

looking for new stuff or places I never hear of! I love the shelf stable

foods because they don't take up all the freezer space! I was so happy to

find this site because for years I've been talking (more so complaining)

that somebody should come up with meat analogs I can eat! Ask and ye shall

receive! LOL

I've tried a pretty wide assortment of Dixie Diner products, and most

of them have been a disappointment to me. They're not awful, but they

all taste kind of like, well, like the kind of camping food where you

reconstitute dehydrated ingredients with boiling water. Because

that's essentially what they are.

 

The only Dixie Diner product I actively liked was the soy fudge

(unfortunately, contains barley malt so not really suitable for

gluten-free). Also, the vegan cheese powder was okay (but contains

oats that aren't certified gluten-free). The mock chicken salad I

liked at first, but I quickly grew tired of the flavor.

 

By far, the best gluten-free vegan meat analog I have found is Butler

Soy Curls. Like the Dixie Diner products, these are dehydrated

soy-based strips, but they are processed differently, and have far

better texture and flavor. Reconstitute them briefly in broth, and

use them in stir-fry -- they taste great.

Ends up most of the products have corn in them, so no go for me. Too bad.

 

Also, be careful if you are using their " gluten free " and " dairy free "

search engine, as some stuff is misclassified. Make sure you check

the ingredients.
