Here's a new product for all the vegetarians out there, but right
off the bat we have a problem with this one: Aren't most people
choosing a vegetarian diet for health reasons? Well, one look at
this ingredient list with all the unpronounceable items and you
might be thinking this product is the antithesis of "healthy."
Frankly, when we think of a vegan or vegetarian diet, we don't
think of chemicals. The taste of the cakes is very bland, with only
a hint of teriyaki (in this case, probably a good thing) and you
can't taste the ginger. There's much more of a rice taste than
vegetable; with carrots as the fourth ingredient, they seem to be
making an appearance for color only -- perhaps if they renamed the
product "Rice and Soy Cakes," it would be more realistic. Also
available in Southwestern Style. Retails for approximately $3/4
cakes (9.06 oz.).
