It seems like I’m hearing of more and more people becoming vegetarian, or at least decreasing the amount of meat they eat these days. Meatless products are becoming more and more popular and are appearing more frequently on store shelves. I had the opportunity to try products from a company that specializes in meatless products – Veggie Patch.

MY THOUGHTS
I received several coupons so that I could pick the products I wanted to try.Veggie Patch makes lots of products including hot dogs, sausages, nuggets, bites, burgers, meatballs and wings. The two products that I’d really hoped to try were the Sweet Corn and Real Mozzarella Cheese Bites and the Broccoli & Real Cheddar Cheese Bites, from the Bistro Au Naturel line. Unfortunately, I was only able to locate two Veggie Patch products at all in my area, so those are what we tried.
I was very curious about how meatless products would taste. After all, I can and do eat meat. The last time I tried something vegetarian was many years ago. It was a soy burger and I didn’t care for it much at all. I’m happy to say Veggie Patch didn’t taste like the soy burger I remember from years ago. The Meatless Meatballs are super easy to make, just put them on a plate and microwave them for a minute. The meatballs can also be cooked in the oven or on the stove. They look like regular meatballs and contain no MSG, transfat or cholesterol. For me I found the taste to be a bit bland but that wasn’t anything that wasn’t fixed with some red sauce when I served them with pasta. They also made a nice sandwich, with a little red sauce and some cheese. The Chick’n Nuggets look like a chicken nugget. They too were easy to make, just put them on a plate and microwave for 40 seconds. They can also be cooked in the oven or on the stove. I didn’t think they tasted like chicken, but they also didn’t taste like a gob of breading like some nuggets do. I liked these with a little sauce, I’m sure kids would gobble them up with ketchup. I’m still really hoping to find the two Bistro Au Naturel products in my area at some point, they just sound good, particularly the Sweet Corn and Real Mozzarella Cheese Bites.
Veggie Patch products are available in the chilled produce and/or frozen food section of many major retailers in the US and Canada:
