I've never tried them, but they don't sound very good. I've never been a big fan of soy meat replacement products and all the ones I've ever tried have been..ummm...less than tasty and satisfying. The last thing I tried was some soy breakfast sausage links because a co-worker recommended them. I took one bite and tossed the whole thing in the trash...even the uncooked ones.

Be careful about soy. Unlike tofu, miso , and other such products, most commercial soy products have soy isolates. These damage the thyroid according to Dr. Mary Enig, and have been implicated in osteoporosis among other problems. Dr Byrnes, who is a contributor to some of these boards, has some infromation on his web site www.powerhealth.net . Nyah Levi

I thought the problem was with soy isoflavones, not the isolates?

I haven't tried that particular product, but I am a big fan of Morningstar Farms. I really like the Buffalo Wings and Mushroom/Pepper burger.

Default DISGUSTING!!

There is no other way to describe the taste. I took one bite and threw it and the entire package in the trash. I cannot even begin to tell you how gross they were!! YUCK!!
