Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 So, what that should have read is that I prefer the Quorn hotdogs, but they can be hard on the budget. The next for me is Morning Star.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Chanda! I haven't gotten any type of soy dog in awhile, however years ago I started out with Yves. I really like them and was surprised that the texture was nearly the same and so was the flavor (which to some I guess is a bad thing, lol, but I liked it). http://www.yvesveggie.com/products_family.php?family_id=11 & page=1 & pIdName=Veggie\ %20Dogs More recently (still a couple of years ago) I tried Morning Star mini-dogs. I didn't like them but that is to say I didn't like the breading part not the veg-pup part. MSF also carries full size veggie corndogs. I don't like any of the canned subs so I stay away from those. When you get your veg-dog, do as the package tells you. Most of them (non canned at least and non frozen), you need to either boil them or do a semi-steam thing (where the dogs are sitting in a bit of water and covered). After that point you can do a " " quick " " fry or grill or whatever but the boil/steam thingy is always best, imho. That is what gives you the texture that isn't dry. The frying and grilling for a long time will make those suckers dry and rubbery. Place in either softened bun or toasted bun and top with fresh onion, pickled jalps, relish, green onion, veggie chili and mustard. Play Ball! S.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I, too, like the Yves Smart Dogs. They have a great texture and I've had them as chili dogs, beanie weinies, plain dogs, fried, nuked and boiled. One thing to keep in mind, though, is not to overcook them because then their texture does turn rubbery.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Although this may have changed it was my understanding that Morningstar (Kelloggs) use GMO soy.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 i love those little voices! *lol* A favorite veg-dog that i prefer are made by Worthington brand and they, believe it or not, come in a can. They are rather dinky though... but the texture is good. IMO, all veg-dogs pretty much taste the same, so texture is a big issue with me. i don't like them being mushy-gross. i also have to have lots of toppings! i like dill pickle relish, dijon mustard, and hot sauce on mine. That or vegan chili piled to overflowing. What do you all top your dogs with? ~ pt ~ The concern of the Primary Imagination, its only concern, is with sacred beings and sacred events. The sacred is that to which it is obliged to respond; the profane is that to which it cannot respond and therefore does not know. ~ W. H.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Are Yves brand hot dogs available in your area? the Canadian company was bought out several years ago by Hain Celestial so I would imagine the products are available almost everywhere now. My husband doesn't like hot dogs so I rarely buy them for myself but they are good. I buy their Ground Round all the time. It makes a great meatless loaf. http://www.yvesveggie.com/products/hot-dogs-and-brats.php Audrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yes my local grocery store has them, which I buy once in a blue moon. I'm not REALLY heavily into veggie dogs, but occasionally I'll crave one so those are the ones I get. --- On Thu, 8/27/09, Audrey Z Burrows <quiltbug wrote: Audrey Z Burrows <quiltbug Hot Dogs Thursday, August 27, 2009, 3:18 AM Are Yves brand hot dogs available in your area? the Canadian company was bought out several years ago by Hain Celestial so I would imagine the products are available almost everywhere now.
