My taste buds have exploded! OH MY- I will now get down on my knees and praise gardein and Daiya products! I RARELY buy foods from the freezer section anymore. When I do, it is frozen vegetables or my Ezekiel bread. But, every once in a while I let myself splurge on a gardein dinner (not that it is REALLY even spluring). Gardein “meats” are made from a combination of soy protein, vital wheat gluten and ancient grains (quinoa, amaranth, millet and kamut). I let a friend from work (who is not vegan) taste my lunch one day and she thought it tasted just like chicken. They’ve got the texture down pat! Tonight I tried the marinara chick/’n good stuff. After taking my first bite, I panicked. I tasted cheese.. I frantically pulled out the package to see what I had done, and COULD NOT BELIEVE that the vegan cheese in my dinner tasted SO much like regular cheese. Daiya, is a life saver as far as I am concerned. I could go on and on, but I will leave you with some pictures to drool over instead. If someone had blind-folded me and fed me this- I promise you, I would have guessed it to be the real thing. I dare my meat-eating friends to try it.. just once.. and tell me what you think!
