MorningStar Farms Grillers Chik'n Veggie Patties meeting their demise?

[flvegan]

I love these. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boxed up vegan meat analogues. Whatever, they taste good in my salads. Nobody here is carrying them anymore and the last person I talked to said there was a "Get 'em while still available" sign on the freezer case.

If this is something you like, better stock up.

Of course, I wouldn't need to stock up if Leftymom would send me my seitan already, dammit. *went there*

1. I'm a vegetarian, have been for over 30 years. Never a vegan. I gotta ask,

Do the morningstar farm foods still have 50 ingredients in each product? Kinda creeps me out to look at the package.

[HopeHoops]

2. Damn. I love those things.

The veggie dogs were great too and now the only way to get them is in their corn dogs (which are too damn sweet for me). Smart Dogs are okay, but they aren't as firm.

3. The Chik'n Veggie Patties were being sold this week

as final closeout at my local Kroger here in North Georgia. I think the price was $3 and change (normally $3.99). I didn't buy any because I really never cared for them anyway.

4. I've never even seen them.

I eat the Boca Chik'n patties myself.

[LeftyMom]

5. I've had a heck of a time finding them.

The sprog won't eat seitan (I KNOW!) and the only other meat analogue he likes is the Health is Wealth faux chicken, which is expensive.

We've found them at WinCo, do you have that there? I have a gigantic pile in the freezer, because I only go to that store once a month or so, since it's on the other end of town.

[flvegan]

6. No idea what a WinCo is

but I have my minions out finding packages like a flying monkey army. And, it's not going well. Stupid Morningstar Farms.

[LeftyMom]

7. It's a big warehouse-y grocery store.

I looked, they only have them on the west coast.

[flvegan]

8. Were there a vegan Seal Team 6

I'd be so set. I mean if they can find that shithead and ice his ass, then surely they could find me much Grillers.

Why does the Lotto elude me so?

[LeftyMom]

9. Do you want me to mail you some of those along with the seitan?

I have to go to the store in question in a few days anyhow, if the stuff's getting discontinued I'll clear them out.

[flvegan]

10. That you even have to ask, makes me weep.

Well, wait. I don't need Grillers if I'm getting a drop shipment of LeftyMom seitan. LMs is scrumtrillescent beyond Griller levels.

[WillParkinson]

12. Now I want LeftyMom's goodies...

So to speak.

[WillParkinson]

11. Paul says he still sees them at our local store...

I hope they don't go away. It would make me cry. We love them on pizza.

[WillParkinson]

13. OK,here is what I got back from Morningstar Farms...

I realize these stores do you no good, but the product is apparently still being made.

14. Sweet, thanks Will.

I guess I'll have to make the same inquiry (rather than trekking to every grocery in the city).
