lol… Would they make good Smores?
Dunno
I always liked my smores more without the marshmallows, but they are supposed to make good rice krispy treats, and that is much more up my alley. =)
Are they real marshmellows? (Made with marshmallow root, that is.)
Real marshmellows *are* vegan, see. Only they’re god. damned. im-fuckin-possible to find. What are the ingredients on those?
Sadly, no
They use “vegan gelatin”. I’d actually like to try/find some real marshmallow stuff. Have you tried the real stuff before?

no – i can’t FIND it. 🙁
it makes me cry.
also, fyi: i don’t object to boca burgers, though I prefer morningstar.
It’s some of the other meat substitutes – including, yes, tofurkey – that I find either pointless or foul.
I really don’t understand why anyone would eat most meat substitutes. They don’t have the texture of meat, they taste outright bad, and they cost more than just working with fresh things. Ick.
I’m fine with meat substitutes that don’t have the texture of meat, but if they do have it, then they’re just about as bad as meat in my book. Of course, tasting good is important as well.
Most vegetarians don’t actually like meat at all (whether because they disliked it before, or have come to dislike it from being vegetarian), so there’s no need to make vegetarian dishes taste like meat ones.
Vegan things however are often an exception. I have no issues with gelatin (even ethically, because so many cattle are slaughtered for other things already, that the bones or whatever might as well be used for something), and if you replace eggs and butter with soy lecithin and margarine in cookies, you often really can’t tell the difference. Of course, I still prefer drinking soy milk to cow milk, because of the differences in how it acts on your throat.
MorningStar’s Chik Patties are god!
Now I’m curious about how they make vegan gelatin. There must be some plant-based proteins that they use.
