Thanksgiving in US

[Emma JC]

I double checked those and no, no one carries them! Do i live under a rock? On mars? I cant be the only vegan in michigan

I bought extras at Easter so that I always have 2 or 3 in the freezer because we love them so much. We already had our Thanksgiving, then we had one for Veterans Day and I have one left for Christmas. I will buy three more next time. Around here people will drive for an hour or more to buy them.

That is good enough for me, I'm gonna look for them. Maybe they'd be a specialty item for the holidays?

yes, they often only order them in ahead of Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas

by they I mean the grocery store

Thank you so much for your help, Emma! I appreciate it!

Thank you, Emma! I tried it, but even the website said no one "near me" carries the roasts. *cry emoji*

I tasted all the brands I think. I liked the Gardein the best but I really need to give Field Roast another go cause I screwed up the prep.

And you can order a "roast" online. there may not be time to get one before Thanksgiving but you can pre-order for xmas.

Vegan Sage & Garlic Celebration Roast

Field Roast starts this vegetarian roast with a rich and savory sausage-style stuffing made from Field Roast grain meat, fresh cut butternut squash, mushrooms and granny smith apples seasoned with a blend of rosemary, thyme and sage. Then the stuffing is surrounded with their most luxurious...

I was surprised not to see a Thanksgiving post today...

Most people are cooking turkey, stuffing and gravy packed with turkey parts... (my family included.) So, I'm bringing my children and I a veggie "turkey" Quorn roast, veggie gravy and green bean casserole to the family dinner. I'm crossing my fingers that everything else is not cooked with the turkey.

Anyone want to share about their Thanksgiving dinner & experience? Did you bring something that the "meat-eaters" liked?

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US!

We DO have a Thanksgiving thread. It's a good one too.
We started it for the Canadians back in October.
But it has sort of gone dark. so let's keep this one going,

almost Thanksgiving

@Forest Nymph By the way, I did follow a recipe for the Tofurkey. It does suggest that you marinade it, which I did, overnight in fact. I was a chef for a very long time and feel I took proper care, especially in light of there being company coming. I recall I had created a marinade with vegan...

Our walmart does not carry the rolls, not even my local health food store has them. They do have the feildroasts with rosemary and ginger though...

Field Roast is yummy, in a different way than Tofurky so would definitely be variety.

 

[Qwaychou]

So, unsurprisingly, all the Tofurky roasts were sold out. So, im making sweet and sour cranberry sauce and crispy tofu for me, and some kind of sea animal for my husband. I doubt my teenager will eat anything besides junk and meat analogues. To say the least, I'm a little dissapointed.

That is disappointing, nothing available on Amazon? or at Whole Foods somewhere? or Walmart online?

@Quaychou Im sorry to hear that, I forget sometimes how easy it is to be vegan in California, even outside of the city. www.VeganEssentials.com is a good place to use in the future, I enjoyed their services during my three months living on a camp ground in a national forest for work during a recent summer.

Here, my friends and I are planning together tomorrow:

Appetizer:

Chips and dip

Meal:

2 Tofurkys with gravy
Roasted vegetables
Mashed potatoes
Stuffing
Sesame green beans
Vegan Mac n cheez

Dessert:

Chocolate pie

Beverages (non-alcohol):

Sparkling cider
Mulled cider
Herbal teas

I love vegan essentials for ordering items I can’t find locally.

Same here. I get my veggie broth cubes from them all the time, and vegan B12.

 

[Qwaychou]

Thank you! I looked them up! Im on a list now that will let me know when the roasts are back in stock! Maybe xmas dinner this year? Thank you, thank you!

Can't you get stock/broth cubes at Aldi ? That's where I buy mine.

I'm just curious to know what you order from them.

The obly broth cubes at my aldi are chicken and beef, ive never seen veggie cubes.

It may depend on each branch. Most Aldi's have quite a large selection of plant based seasonings and spices. However, sometimes you really do
have to hunt around the shop for certain items.

You are right, but our Aldi is a tiny one, they dont even have tofu. Luckily, my hubs passes by a larger one on the way home from work, so i can easily send him in there!
