Anyone who was still a meat eater found them all terrible. Us vegans didn't really remember the difference... and I recall that the top choice was a Yves Chili dog. Even this though, was not received with much celebration.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, we also recently had a big veggie burger tasting, with 18 different store-bought vegan burgers. The top 3 choices were: Amy's All American, Amy's California Burger, and Wildwood Original. The wildwood is a local brand (northern california)... but the Amy's should be widely available.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1127925214064036972005-09-28T09:33:00.000-07:002005-09-28T09:33:00.000-07:00My fave veggie dogs are Boca Brats, dunno if they'...My fave veggie dogs are Boca Brats, dunno if they're vegan, I'm not terribly strict when it comes to egg/dairy.
