I'm sorry to report to my fellow RBR'ers that my grocery store is fresh out of Morningstar corn dogs. A moment of silence, please.

OTOH, they did have Morningstar bacon... which, I'm sorry, is better than the real thing at an itty bitty 30 calories per slice. It tastes just like the real thing, too. And they even marbled it with soybean oil "fat" to make it look authentic. Tres chic!

Anyway, so while mourning the lack of corn dog stock at the grocery store, I made myself a BTS ("Bacon" Tomato Swiss) with lots of mayo. After that sandwich had met it's match, I decided I was still hungry and made myself a BLTS ("Bacon" Lettuce Tomato Swiss) with possibly more mayo. I fear that I am still hungry and there are more juicy ripe tomatoes in my kitchen awaiting their fate.

But now, I must ride. And then... PIRATES II!

Perhaps you should get a paypal account so we can donate to the "Voneity Corndog Foundation"... :)

why do veggies always try to make everything taste like something it is not.
Ever heard "try this brocooli it tastes just like beef"?

By "veggies" I assume you mean vegetarians.

There are many reasons people choose not to eat meat. It often has nothing to do with not liking the taste of meat, so why would fake meats be such an odd choice?

To each his own... why do you care?

I'm happy with the fake stuff. Not to get all preachy, but I don't have to worry about:

the buffalo wings and the crispy chicken patties are so good. i personally think theyre better then the 'real thing'.

i love when people take offense to someone not eating meat. i ran into this a couple times now, and its strange to me. in an ironic twist of fate, the person who usually gets offended is fat.

I love Morningstar Farms corn dogs, I feel your pain Von. I'll have to try the bacon - I can't eat the real thing, the fat makes me ill.

Both bread and mayo can be made without dairy, but no, I'm not vegan. I used to be in college... it was tough.

You are deluded if you think turkey bacon or any of that artificial stuff comes anywhere near the taste of real bacon. Real bacon tastes like nothing else. I've had the Morningstar and you might as well salt the box top and eat it.

nothing tastes better than bacon, or like bike, except bacon.

those things are made 2 miles from where I live. used to be worthington foods (made all veggie stuff lots of soybean based)before kelloggs or kraft or some other huge company bought them. there's actually an ohio state professor who was on the board of worthington foods and is now behind bars bc he spooged the news of the sale. ken blackwells the name.

have you tried their fake chicken stuff that comes in a larger can for like $4 in a stir fry? thats good stuff. I don't think the brand is morningstar but its made in worthington ohio at the same plant.

Whatev. Morningstar C-dogs are teh sh!7.

real corn dogs taste better and are cheaper...if you're gonna eat junk food why not just have the real thing and not some imitation? kinda like those "baked" chips. They taste like cardboard. In no way are they as good as real chips. If you're gonna eat junk food them just eat it. Junk food shouldn't be a normal part of your diet anyway.

Thank you. somebody with some sense.

1) I don't think real corn dogs are cheaper. These work out to about $1.15 a piece. What do you pay at the corn-dog cart?

2) Why not have the real thing? I don't eat meat.

3) The "imitation" Morningstar corn dogs taste just as good, otherwise I wouldn't bother eating them.

4) Baked cheetos are actually quite delicious.

5) I eat junk food daily. Who are you to say what I can and cannot eat, anyway?

Someone's got themselves all in a tizzy because someone else is enjoying fake meat! Oh dear! Oh my! What will you do when you have a real problem? :confused:

Hey Von (or other veg loungers...don't know who they are)...if you ever need any veg recipes just shout. I've been a vegetarian for almost 15 years and I have a pretty good recipe collection. BTW...these guys make a really good meat substitute...check em out if you want and see if they have a distributor local to you.

We started working with a nutritionist this spring, and although she says it's OK to have the very lean cuts of meat on occasion, quite honestly, we feel so much more energetic without all those freaky a$$ hormones that they feed the mad cows to fatten them up.

Truth is, fat tastes good. But it's not healthy either.

Best firkin meal we eat these days (OK top 2):

* Chicken Quesadillas (chicken, muchrooms, queso fresco, cilantro and spices) in whole wheat tortillas - can use crab meat or even tofu.

* Halibut with advocado lime salsa (grilled and the salsa is used to top the halibut, also works great with swordfish).

Well, I think this stuff does. Have you ever tried the brand/kind that I mentioned? I've never had this kind before, and prior to eating it, I would've agreed with you. The other ones that I've had taste horrible.

Now, I'm happy to delude myself and enjoy crispy delicious bacon-y non meat products.

You can get E. Coli from vegetables. I remember a few years ago that people got sick eating soy bean sprouts from Mexico. My understanding is when you buy vegetables from another country, sometimes they use human waste for fertilizer.

humanure?

E. coli can come from cow manure, too. Also used as fertilizer. I'm well aware of this, however, the risk of contracting E. coli from vegetables is lower than contracting it from meat or other processed sources.

The horse has been beaten enough, I think... time to "moo"-ve on.

I'm wit cha. I have a friend who worked in a meat packing plant, after what he told me you couldn't pay me to eat a steak.
I know you can get sick from most anything you eat, but I choose to minimize my risk.

i just ate a "meatball" sammie from their tender rounds (homemade sauce too). the gf and i eat those at least every other week. it's quite expensive for a can, but it's worth it.

and von, i'm with you. i love their fake bacon, but i don't think of it as fake bacon. for me, it's quite far from the original (from what i remember of the original). but it more than does the job for me when i'm craving a blt (now i'm craving a blts)

on a side note. vegetarianism seems to be a lot like homosexuality.....what one chooses to put in one's own body can irk others quite a bit. people of wit, carry that metaphor as far as you like. it has plenty of legs.

Wife used to be a vegetarian so I've eaten many of these fakey products. The meat crumbles (aka TVP) are pretty good in sauces and such. Boca burgers are a decent imitation of a hamburger, the fake sausages are OK, but any and all of the fake bacon I've tried tastes like a strip of cardboard with salt on it. Since bacon is mainly animal fat I think it's nearly impossible to replicate the taste and texture of it. So I guess one could prefer the leaner and less greasy taste of fake bacon (or even turkey bacon) but for me there is really no comparison.

try frying up some spenco gel (that stuff they used to have in bike seats), what would probably do the trick. if anything ever was "false" fat that stuff would be it.

After reading Von’s tale of woe, (and the carnivorous replies) I felt compelled to share the basic recipe for a sandwich that saw me through many a long weekend of study, back in my university days. For more years than anyone can seem to remember, students from the University of Portland have abused the Twilight Room’ (aka the T-Room) tavern as their off-campus watering hole. And on the menu at this notable establishment is something they call the T-Burger, currently listed at $6.25. (It was closer to $2.75 when I hung out there :yikes: ).

Anyway, this was not your common bar-burger either. The T-Burger was a real artery clogger, and consisted of a burger patty, slice of ham, a fried egg and a slice of processed ‘American’ cheese (along with the usual attempts at vegetable additions) on a sesame seed bun. Add some fried potato strips, and the requisite beer and you had all of the major food groups sought by many college students, and avoided by any sane dietitian. :out:

Quite some time ago, I realized that my system could not continue to tolerate those gut bombs without repercussions. So I came up my own take on this classic of my mis-spent youth. I present this now for your gastronomic distress. Starting with a whole-grain bun, add your favorite veggie burger patty, some veggie-ham, a slice of cheese (soy if you want non-dairy), and a cooked egg (or egg substitute, either of which you can leave out if desired). Layer in some good leafy greens, sliced tomato and onion (Walla Walla sweets when in season:wink: ), and you have a sandwich almost suitable for consumption.:thumbsup:
