The unbelievable happened - I ate faux meat and liked it!

I was shopping for some fake meat for Jesse to try today when I noticed that the Tofurkey Beer Brats are a little different than most: they are made of organic tofu, vital wheat gluten, herbs, and spices. Not a bunch of weird ingredients, but two simple ones. I talked myself into making one for myself for dinner, instead of making something different like we sometimes do. I almost wimped out at the last minute ("it looks like meat! Ahhh!") but I was brave in the end! And guess what? It was totally good! I wish I would have made two for myself! I think all the condiments and especially the sauerkraut really helped. So if you're a faux-meat-aphobe like me, try these out! I was pleasantly surprised :)

Do grilled onions and sauerkraut make anything delicious?

P.S. I found a bunch of pics of us cheering at the march online and added 'em to my Sunday post :)

There are a few fake meats that I like and Tofurkey italian sausages rank way up there! I have yet to try their Beer Brats though.
Thanks for sharing the new pictures!! :)

the title made me laugh. Now I have that song running around in my head --"I kissed a girl and I liked it... something something ...cherry chapstick."

food looks really tasty! can't go wrong w/ sauerkraut. though I can't ever tell my father that because when I was in highschool, my sister and I forbid him from making his baked sauerkraut & porkchops because it smelled up the whole house for hours. I'm surprised he listened. porkchops = disgusting.

I'm a faux meat lover, so it all tastes good to me...but these are probably my fave! I love to baste them with more beer and cook 'em on the grill on a hot summer day ... ah, summer...I miss it already!
