At the Supermarket: Fake Chicken

So this week I picked up a box of the regular Boca Chik’n patties and the bruschetta style with sundried tomatoes and basil, since a vegetarian friend of mine swears by them. Unfortunately I was really disappointed.

Why I like them:

• They’re meat free…

Why I don’t like them:

• Their consistancy is similar to compressed meat… lots of little pieces stuck together
• The tomato basil wasn’t so much a flavor as it was just tomato chunks
• The tomato flavor was good at first, but not a pleasant after-taste
• The breading of the burger added little taste to the whole event

There are other fake “chik’n” products to try, like the chick’n nuggets, but I think I’m sticking to the Boca vegan burgers. Perhaps the chik’n patties would be better suited sliced up in a salad?
