Gross Outs

Here is a list of things I picked up from the grocery store and tried very recently. They were revolting.

1) Canoline Brand Eggless Mayonnaise. Vegan mayonnaise that tastes like a shot of vinegar. Both of us couldn't stand it. We ended up dumping the contents in the green bin and chucking the jar in the recycling. What a waste.

2) Yves Veggie Cuisine Veggie Bologna Slices. They smelled great, but tasted like mush. We ended up giving the package to the dog. She liked them!

3) Soy & Almond Beverage (all brands). I tried several brands of soy and almond milk and was so grossed out. They all tasted like cereal milk. You know the milk leftover after your cereal is gone? That stuff. Yuck. I almost gave up when during my research I found that they taste that way because cane juice was most likely added. Unsweetened soy and almond milk is available on the shelves and tastes much simpler and creamier. Folks swear by the unsweetened varieties. Will give that a shot since the stuff I tried did have evaporated cane juice (natural sweetener) listed as one of the ingredients on the carton.

3) Galaxy Nutritional Foods Soy Vegan Slices (American cheese flavour). Soo gross. I bought them to try in place of cheese slices on sandwiches (grilled cheese anyone?). Buoy, won't make that mistake again. Tofutti makes vegan 'cheese' slices too but I'm just too scared right now to try another brand.

4) Yves Veggie Cuisine Veggie Dogs. Just like the bologna, this was disgusting. I tried to put them in several saucy dishes to help disguise them but the texture just made me give up. Again, the dog liked them very much!
