Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 That sounds delicious. I love horseradish!! Marilyn Daub mcdaub Vanceburg, KY My Cats Knead Me!! - sue Friday, August 18, 2006 9:08 AM new Yves product I discovered Has anyone tried their alternative roast beef sandwich slices? I had the best sandwich yesterday using this with a slice of soy cheese and a spread of horseradish. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I have tried the Yves sandwich slices in the bologna and the ham flavors. I like them both quite well. Neither one really tastes like the real meat product they are flavored after, but to me that is a good thing. I like that they are one more quick idea I can use to make interesting vegetarian lunches on the go. I haven't tried the roast beef flavored slices yet because I never liked real roast beef at all, ever. But if they are as different from the real thing as the ham and bologna flavors are then I should give them a try; I might like them.... especially with horseradish! Yum!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I somehow missed the original post. I love Yves bologna slices and I agree, they don't overwhelming taste like real bologna. But I cannot eat the Yves turkey slices. To me, they taste like real turkey and it's the most off-putting thing ever. <shudder> I'll have to try the ham, now that you've said they don't taste too ham-like. I'd be fine if they created these " fake meats " with interesting tastes, in their own right, rather than try to replicate meat.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 -Sharon, That is why I make my own " veggie Patties " . Most of the store bought veggie burgers taste like and have the texture of meat. Have you tried making veggie burgers from the recipes in the files? There are some good ones. I have tried several and still prefer my 'grain patties' for the same reason as before mentioned, but the others are great for a change. I have tested some on my non-Vegetarian friend and family and everyone likes them. I hate to admit that when I was a child I loved " potted meat " . Sometimes my refried beans remind me of that but I still love the taste. I also like the Veggie Weiners but hate calling them " hot dogs " . I agree..I wish they would come up with some better names and not try to replicate meat.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I don't understand why they try so hard to replicate the taste of meat. At least for me, not eating it is no big deal. For some reason I just feel so much better when I don't. Why would I want to eat something that would remind me of that feeling. I tried a tomato sandwich for lunch and put a little salt and basil on it and it was awesome. I had denesh's Killer kidney beans for dinner. Had them last night with rice and tonight in a half of a pita which I actually made myself (adding wheat germ and whole wheat flour. They were a Killer.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I know what you mean, Debbie, but they're absolutely awesome products if you're living in a " mixed " household. I went veg in 1982, and DH is still not veg. But I only do veg at home (he has m*t maybe 12 times a year at restaurants), and these Yves, Quorn, Boca and other products make the two of us very happy and compatible ;-) But I really, really like the Yves " improved " " ham " deli slices. They taste very true to what I vaguely remember -- smoke and clove, etc., not meat flavor. I use it in an absolutely superb and very quick " ham " loaf that DH and I both adore.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Personally, I agree. The taste of meat is not important to me. But, my husband hankers for it now and again and when something comes along that's completely veg and satisfies him, I'm overjoyed. It seems to be easier than battling over the beans. I admit the smell of barbeque is enticing to me.................but, then I can always barbeque Yves riblets or those kabobs! Shen PEACE!

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Well, everyone is different and some people aren't vegetarian because they don't like the taste or texture of meat, but more because they no longer want to support killing animals, OR simply for health reasons. So I guess it depends upon ones reasons for going veg. But that said, I will probably avoid the " beef-like " kabobs because even as a child I loathed the flavor and texture of red meat. I am glad there is a greater variety of vegetarian products hitting the markets. It makes going vegetarian easier and more accessable to all no matter what the reason for choosing the path. ~ PT ~ As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice and we can't shuffle off responsibility upon the shoulders of God or Nature.

Personally I cannot stand the look, texture or taste of meat and I don't like substitutes either. HOWEVER, many people who decide to go vegetarian do miss meat and I figure that anything that is around to make their lives easier and support their decision and keep the vegetarian has a place in this world I will admit that as much as I loathe meat I miss bacon, a lot. It';s not enough to make me give up being vegetarian but I can imagine how much a person who loves steak would want to replicate it.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Well said, Sherry. I also exist in a mixed household and these things make meal planning and pleasing those omnivores easier. I like those " ham " deli slices, too. I would love to have a copy of your loaf recipe if you could share. Thanks. ~ PT ~ Be happy -- not because you are too foolish to know any better, but because you are smart enough to know it works. ~ Ralph Marston ~~~*~~~*~~~> , Sherry Rose <sherry wrote: > > I know what you mean, Debbie, but they're absolutely awesome products > if you're living in a " mixed " household.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I became vegetarian because I had always hated meat and I used to wonder why there was a need for so many meat-like products until I joined these groups and started to give it more thought. Now that I am going to be vegan I keep thinking what am I really going to miss and I know that if there was a vegan Parmesan which had the same flavour and the same bite I would be very happy. No difference between that and someone wanting to eat tofurkey or these other analogues that you are talking about.
