As someone that doesn’t like eating gluten mock meats that much, I’m glad we have options like pea protein.😊

[@SauceStache]

It's a great option!!!

[@Strizzy740]

Just eat mean buddy

[@Siderea]

⁠​⁠@@Strizzy740Eat MEAN? I prefer to eat kind because it’s tiring to eat mean. Anyway, some people could “just eat meat” but they don’t want to because of moral reasons “buddy.” For others, they can’t because of religion, allergies, etc. So having more options to make food with means we can eat good too 😩 Think of it like this, the more people don’t eat meat, the more you can 🌟

[@Blml1217]

Have you ever tried Butler soy curls? I’m just wondering how they compare? They look the same.

[@SauceStache]

I have!!! I would say similar in texture, but much milder taste! it was nice to be able to flavor up without any sort of other taste. Texture wise though its close, I would say this is slightly more tender

"Peaness", per the rules of the Oxford English dictionary, a new word that is used in writing three or more times becomes a legit english language word. Just one to go.

Peaness...I am sure I have used the word before but spelt different, never thought it would be a flavor or something I would put in MY mouth but hey, the more you know.

Thank you Sauce Stache, your vid made me so hungry I went & put in an order with Fake Foods. I can't wait for it to arrive.

[@suicune2001]

"It's not mac and cheese if there's no cheese in it! It's mac and SLOP!" LMAO! I'm actually glad you made the roux for it since I can show this to my family and see if they would be willing to try making a vegan mac and cheese.

[@SauceStache]

It came out so good!! I hope your family tries it and enjoys!!

[@RussMichaels]

I would have to disagree, while i have not yet found any cheese alternatives that don't taste disgusting, i have had meals in restaurants with vegan cheese that was great and not slop.

[@kwphl]

That redneck accent was my favorite 😂😂

[@kunaikai]

Do you need to use out of focus cumin or can you use regular cumin

[@cjpartridge]

Man, those beans and mac looked better than the fake meat 😅 Also, looking very fit and trim of late mate!

I kinda want to see your take of a vegan duck or some vegan chashu on some ramen again, I know you did it before, but I am thinking it's worth revisiting that

If you ever decide to open your own diner, I'm sure people will pile up at the entrance. I'd buy a plane ticket to get there. And then smuggle some bags of Fakemeat because they don't ship to Germany (yet).

I made this tonight and it was a hit with my picky eater son. He often teases me about my vegan foods, but he gobbled all of it up! I swear, if you didn't already know it was vegan, you would never know. Instead of bread and pickles, I made esquites (Mexican street corn, but it's cut off the cob and cooked in a casserole.)

[@MichaelToub]

I will try this, thanks !

Awesome as always. Im going to have to get some. Time to roll the old smoker out of the garage for a vegan BBQ.

I'm off wheat, so instead of bread crumbs, I am happily using crushed Sonoma Creamery Cheese Crisps- excellent replacement for breadcrumbs as a crust or a topping. and they come in different flavors: parmesan, cheddar and my fav- pepper jack.

You know what i do with these chucks? Everytime i use them i fry them golden brown, little bit before burned with a little bit of oil. But you need to be care full, in 10 seconds they can burn you away :D try it out, the texture gets even better with the frying step before.

[@TZ2OurLittleDogToo]

at first glance I thought these were Butler Soy Curls - they are very versatile like this (but I would be happy to get away from soy). Will check these out! thanks

[@Msyinett]

[@mtierney1120]

How does it compare to butlers soy curls? Is there a ham seasoning that is gluten free? Manufacturing contaminations include wheat. Thanks!

Can you link where to buy out of focus cumin? I can only find high resolution cumin where I'm at.

[@docAvid314]

Need some collards with that, and it's pretty similar to the barbeque I make with soy curls. Love the bacon bits idea, but I think most brands have gluten in them, might have to look around for one we can use. Definitely have to get some of this style tvp. OK OK and some of your Not Steak Sauce!

[@dissectingdexter2186]

Your original ideas and recipes seem to be the best for vegan meats, but FakeMeats has some really great offerings and saves some time.

[@eddiesalinas]

I bought some of these, but I got the "chunks". They're pretty good and I enjoy them raw almost like croutons ; if you toss them in some melted butter and sprinkle some salt they are good. I also cooked them in boullion as suggested and they were good that way too.

[@verderriscursey]

Smoked mac n cheese and smoked baked beans is awesome too!

[@cabal3747]

You definitely got my attention with that "small batch" thing, so I got an order in right away for a couple of bags (and thanks for the coupon!) I love the texture of pea protein, but I do struggle a bit with the Plant Basics crumbles ended up soggier than I would like. I've never tried pressing it since it's crumbles, but now I'm wondering if that might help. But those chunks look awesome, way better than the soy chunks. Can't wait to experiment with them!

[@benf6822]

Something I do if a protein has retained too much moisture is to spread it thin on a baking sheet and let it cook for a bit stirring occasionally. Dries it out and helps with the texture too since you get some crispy bits but not too many

[@cabal3747]

@@benf6822 That's a good idea. I usually go straight to frying it, but if it's too moist, it doesn't always fry up properly.

[@benf6822]

@@cabal3747 it's especially helpful if you have a fan forced oven. But I would go sort of low and slow for drying it out and then crank the heat to get some crispy bits mixed in.

[@BrianSB]

It looks great though I hope they get the cost down. 14 bucks for 8 ounces is waaaay too much. Especially if they want people to buy some with any frequency. We buy a 6 pack of (8 oz) Butler soy curls for about 35 bucks; even that is expensive for what it is. I imagine this is a similar type of product.

[@BrandiRLove]

How do you stop the after taste that pea protein has?

[@davidfulton179]

I haven't loved pea protein in beverages but it works great in "meats." I'm intrigued to try! Just ordered mine! One small complaint... the "default" shipping option is for pick up in Illinois! That's a bit of a drive from California! LOL!
