You would think that that would be the case given the commonality of Swansons and Marie Callenders chicken turkey and beef pot pies, but maybe the future might hold something positive for meatless pies.<BR/>Perhaps you might talk to some of the companies you link to about the prospect of marketing meatless pies...<BR/>BTW, you have also demonstrated why the meat pie is so readily accepted in the US and even more commonplace in British Commonwealth countries and in the UK as well.(SR71)Atomicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11128865729752277566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1140289597424669772006-02-18T11:06:00.000-08:002006-02-18T11:06:00.000-08:00Hey, I just found you site by chance and it is rea...Hey, I just found you site by chance and it is really cute! <BR/><BR/>I've been vegan since highschool (around twelve years now)and you've given me some great new ideas; my daughter and I love to try out new recipes.

If overcooked they get too soft.<BR/><BR/>Hi, Erin -- Yes, I precooked the veggies until they were just tender. Otherwise I would worry that they wouldn't cook through before the crust was done. <BR/><BR/>Harmonia, I hope they get those egg whites out, too! And shmoo did great -- no cavities!<BR/><BR/>Hi, Linzi! Wow, that is so fantastic!! Congratulations on going vegan and feeling great!

To the poster who mentioned that the steak strips had a mushy texture, if you decide to try them again, don't cook them too long. Just heat them up for a minute or so. Cooking them longer than that can lead to them being sort of spongey-ish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1139446049487078082006-02-08T16:47:00.000-08:002006-02-08T16:47:00.000-08:00Hi Jennifer,Thanks for the tip.I haven't seen thos...Hi Jennifer,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip.<BR/>I haven't seen those steak strips before --how was the texture?

Having a vegan food that tastes familiar is so helpful to me as I try to convince my kids and husband that they can eat healthy foods and not suffer because they have to give up most of they're used to. I love these and hope there continue to be more and more choices that taste and look "normal" (to an omni) so that eventually it isn't even an issue - I can just cook what I cook and we don't have to have the same old discussion of "What does it taste like? Is it good? Is it steak or <I>"steak"</I>? " We decided the steak strips were better when cut into smaller pieces, as they were hard to bite through in the strip shape. Maybe that would lessen their similarity to real meat for those who were turned off by it? I'm glad Little Schmoo enjoyed his beautiful pasty. :)<BR/><BR/>Shellyislandgirlshellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02185437673659417797noreply@blogger.com
