Corn-Kitties
(Corn-Kitties cuz they ain't Dogs)
At 150 calories each these seem too good to be true. However, the taste and texture are just like the real thing. They are negligibly smaller than their corn-dog counterparts, but not enough to lose any sleep over. Morning Star Products can be pricey, hovering around 5 dollars, but you can find deals. Food For Less Carries the product as does Trader Joe's and most other department-supermarket-stores do as well. Price: moderate. Taste: outstanding, amazing, spectacular. Likeness to meat: dead on.
Selma-Melt
(As in Patty and Selma? This is the other melt)
I tried the Garden Burger Grillers and that fake meat patty was just terrible. Too awful to ever buy again, much less take pictures of and review. Meat is meat and nothing will ever taste exactly like a juicy medium rare steak except a juicy medium rare steak. This faux meat is not comparable in texture, nor taste to the real thing but it does not taste half bad. Its a great source of protein, its low in calories;130, and it's definitely a team player. Here I toasted some onion buns, placed a mixture of jalapeno jack and and chedderella cheese on each half. Placed the slice of fake meat on one half and a combo of caramelized onions and jalapenos on the other. (Mr. M added some left over chili to his Selma-melt) It tasted GREAT. Price: moderate. Taste: Yummers , but its no double-double animal style. Likeness to meat: not by a long shot.
