That is great. I use Tofurkey Italian sausage in my Italian dishes for potluck

and everyone loves it here at work.

If only more meat eaters would give these products a try.

I was preparing dinner when my husband's friend stopped by. I was

making Italian not dogs w/Yves dogs... This man is NOT a vegetarian,

in any sense of the word. But he commented about how good the

sauteeing onions, peppers & potatoes smelled. I invited him to stay,

and he ate TWO of them!!! I felt really good about myself, but then I

told him they were veggie dogs and I prepared myself for the

involuntary recoil that non-veg people do when they think of veggie

dogs. Amazing - he didn't even bat an eye - he just commented again

about how good dinner was. Little happy dance. =)

The alternative products make it very easy for new vegetarians to start off on

the veg path easily.

The burgers are wonderful if you attend picnics, need a meal in a rush and they

are delicious

What a nice thing to extend the hospitality of dinner at your home with others.

I love the meat substitutes and how much they add to meals and I've never eaten

meat. LOL

 

When we have folks over for dinner we often times open the door to folks

realizing how wonderful the variety of foods taste, that many have never tried

before. Folks can be afraid to spend the money on new things, thinking they

won't like them, but when you prepare them, it gives them the opportunity to try

them and see how they taste in different recipes. It is like the veil being

opened. Smile.

 

You did a good thing to invite this man to join you and I'm so glad it was a

great experience for all of you.

I have not yet tried the Tofurkey sausages, albeit I have been eying

them for a while. I think I'm going to have to try some now! =)

Wow, your post is making me even more proud of my accomplishment! =)

You are right, though; the meat substitutes make it SO easy for me to

make more " mainstream " dinners as well as to kind of open up the door

to the HUGE variety of foods and flavors you can create in a

vegetarian kitchen! It has almost become a mantra that yes! I do eat

more than side orders of veggies and rice! And, although I know that

a fabulous veg meal isn't going to instantly convert someone to

vegetarianism, at least it gives me satisfaction to know that *maybe*

that meal opened their minds to healthier possibilities, and that

*maybe* they'll dine with us again!!! =)

These meat substitutes have made it easier for my children to

assimilate, as well! We can go to bbq's and have hot " dogs " , and

" burgers " , and my kids eat " chicken " nuggets " ...=)
