gardenburger riblets

[angelene17]

gardenburger riblets are freakin good. I took a bite and had to go check the box to make sure they were really meat free because they have a very meaty texture..

*eats whole box*

The barbecue sauce on it is pretty yummy too :)

[Guacivore]

Yes, those are quite tasty. :)

[angelene17]

I don't know how good these things are for you, but I can't see any harm in them if they are eaten as an occasional treat :)

I hear you! I'm burnt out on them at the moment because I went nuts with them with I first discovered them about a year ago. They're really good with some dill pickle slivers and sauteed onions with vegenaise on a roll.

[misq17]

I really like the texture, but I hate bbq sauce. Oh well...

[Libellula]

i've only had them once... :/

[raggydoo]

I just had one for dinner! ;) I do think the sauce is a little too much, so I only eat some of it.

[Tesseract]

Wow, I have never tried these! Are they vegan?

[Amy SF]

Wow, I have never tried these! Are they vegan?

:yes:

I can't eat more than one at a time, though. The sauce has a strong flavor.

[Amy SF]

They have them at my local Whole Foods, so you should be able to find them at yours. :lick:

[Libellula]

they serve them in the dining halls at my school.

*runs out door to get some*

yes, yes, yes! I love these things!! Personally I wish there was more sauce...

I don't know if they're vegan but you can get them here in Houston at Kroger's, too. I don't know if HEB has them or not, probably not at the "Pantry" versions but the larger HEB's should have them. That and Central Market :)

I'll have to try them on a roll. With chopped onions :)

[ynaffit]

they're pretty good, but i stopped eating them because they always made me throw up a little. no other food has consistently had that effect on me. it was really strange.

[Recycler]

YES, they are vegan. YES, they are healthy. YES, they taste great. And Gardenburger is a great company that has been forced into bankruptcy by competition from the likes of Boca (which is owned by Altria/Philip Morris/Kraft) and Morningstar (which is Kellogg). You can get the Riblets at Traders Joes for only $2.69 per box. I haven't seen them cheaper than that.

[WonderRandy]

wow, I usually have to spend over $5 for them here... sometimes I'll find them on sale for about $4, but that's rare...

I don't know Virginia geography: Are these stores too far away for you? :think:

Maybe it's just my area of California, but you can buy Gardenburger Riblets in most any supermarket. They're in the frozen foods section, near the Boca burgers and other veg*n foods. Check your local grocery stores.

I think I can get the riblets at a HFS or my usual grocery store, but I just read so much on this board about Whole Foods - and I've never been in one! The nearest one that I know of is in Charlottesville, an hour + away. But my son is in school there, so I may just need to visit and do some grocery shopping at the same time.

[Tofu-N-Sprouts]

Eh... Poppy - Whole Foods is great, expecially for specific hard-to-find vegan/vegetarian items - but in my experience they're over-rated and expensivio. Sort of the Holy Grail of vegan shopping.
Really, everything you need can be found at most "average" supermarkets. I have Fred Meyer (like Kroger), Albertsons and Safeway in my little town (NO Health Food Stores, Wild Oats or Whole Foods) and except for vegan whole grain bread, I can basically find most everything that is mentioned on the boards...

[Poppy]

I'll keep it on my list, but asterisk it as a "luxury"item.

After reading all the rave reviews, I tried them last night for dinner. Tasted great. I made it into a little sandwich with this yummy, healthy bread I have. Unfortunately, they didn't agree with me either. I didn't throw up, but I was definitely in the bathroom with stomach rumblings and feeling miserable...and I'll just leave it at that. :(

i love those things!
