Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I just kinda tricked my household. This afternoon I made chicken salad. The trick? I used Morningstar farms vegetarian chicken strips as the chicken. We'll see if they notice at dinner. LOL! My dad is a total omnivore and mom eats only chicken turkey and seafood. If they eat it without noticing I wonder if i should tell...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I suggest you tell them before they try it. I know you are doing this for the good and they will probably love your meal but they might feel tricked and could become defensive. I always reverse the situation and I wouldn't like to go somewhere for dinner and find out the cook used chicken broth in the vegetable soup I was served after I ate it. Do you think they would get upset if you tell them after they eat the salad or will they be surprised and maybe want to try the product?

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Oh it was funny! They didn't believe me! LOL! I told them as they were taking it. The whole time my dad was eating it he kept saying things like " this has to be real chicken salad. " Every time I have made something with a meat substitute it always gets eaten happily and very much enjoyed. That's why I wasn't too concerned.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Phew! That's funny. I know my older nephew won't try anything that has to do with alternative products and my bil is now a vegetarian but 5 years ago he would become very mad if you tried to offer him tofuna, eggless egg salad or anything to do with vegetarian lifestyle.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Just smile enigmatically as they rave over the food. If you snicker they'll know some thing's up and you've pulled a sneaky. Oh, and bury the box deeply in the garbage so no one can see it and blow your cover. Jeanne in GA self-declared queen of sneaking in TVP (textured vegetable protein) Looking for earth-friendly autos?

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Substituting food without informing those ingesting whatever it may be can be a very dangerous practice. Many people have serious food allergies to wheat, soy, nuts, dairy and oils that are often used to make meat substitutes. Some go into shock and die in as quickly as 30 minutes. I had an allergic reaction to string beans/wax beans which I had been eating all my life, and did not realize I had developed an allergy to. I came very close to death, and had an out-of-body experience before the paramedics arrived to rush me to the ER. At that point, I was blue, and barely alive. Food allergies are no joke. I realize in this e-mail it's her family she is tricking by substituting mock chicken for chicken. I would, however, make sure that none of those people have food allergies, or this joke could be the least funny one she's ever played in her life.
