tofurky vs. unturkey

I've gotten tofurky roast the past couple years and liked it, but now

I see my whole foods is carrying the " Now and Zen " Unturkey Feast

too. The roast is five pounds compared with tofurkey, which is less

than a pound. I was just wondering if any of you have tried the

unturkey, and how it compares to tofurkey roast. Your feedback is

much appreciated.

don't know where you are but I had a tofurkey thing last year that came ina big box and had a tofurkey section with stuffing and then some drumsticks made from tempeh and a kind of wish bone thing too. It was horrible though, apart from the stuffing. I didn't really like it.

 

I'll have to look out for that Now and Zen thing, just purely because that makes me laugh.

I've had seitan sausages and they were nice.

 

For the Solstice we usually have nut roast en croute with sausages wrapped in rashers, roast potatoes, brussels, etc.

I ordered the vegan meal from Whole Foods for Thanksgiving - the main

dish is stuffed field roast. I'd rather have that than fake turkey any

day.

I've never tried the Now and Zen Unturkey feast. I might have to

give it a try this year. I do love Tofurky though. Some complain

about it taisting to much like meat. I personally dont remember what

meat tastes like, but my flesh eatting siblings say it tastes

nothing like the real thing.I just know that I like it. I also LOVE

the gravy. My favorite left over is tofurky and mustard on one of my

moms home made vegan roals.Yummy.... I cant wate.

I think it was more the consistency that was like meat for me. As long as it is animal free it is fine - we all like different things anyway.

We found the seitan sausages and hot dogs in a Food For Thought health shop, and also in Infinity Foods in Brighton.

 

The other thing I have seen lately but not yet tried is Quinovera - made from quinoa. I haven't checked yet to see if it is vegan.

I haven't forgotten that some of us were going to arrange to meet in London one weekend day. We are booked up every weekend before and including Yule, but it would be good to arrange a meeting soon after that.

Do you live in the UK? If you do and are within travelling distance of London there are a few of us who are hoping to get together sometime in the not too distant future at a cafe in Covent Garden.
