Chicken substitute

[awesomlytwisted]

Has anyone heard of Chickette? I think it's made by Worthington. I've heard amazing things about this "chicken" product, but I can't seem to find it anywhere! I'm thinking about asking my Co-op to order it, but I'm not 100% sure that it's vegan. Does anybody know?

I've never heard of it, but then are you in the US? We get different products here. It just sounds a lot like me to 'Quorn' "chicken pieces" which do have egg in. Have you googled it?

[awesomlytwisted]

Yeah, I'm in Kentucky. I heard about it from a vegan family who used to live in Virginia, so I know they have it there. Unless it's been discontinued?

I googled it but I can only find recipes for it.

I hope you find it and it's vegan!

Not much on it's veganness, yet...

[awesomlytwisted]

So I guess I would have to order it. Thanks for the link!

[sifrid]

No problem!

It sounds really tasty, I think you've sold me on it just via this googling.

Worthington's Meatless Chicken Slices contain milk and eggs. I'm looking on the site, but I don't see anything by the name of Chickette. Every other product with variant spellings of chicken contains "milk and egg ingredients":
Meatless Chicken Roll
Fried Chik'n with Gravy

I'll keep looking. Maybe it'll turn up somewhere.

I've been looking there too, and I'm confused that it's not on the site or on the discontinued products list. However, the gomestic link above says that it's a frozen product and this store near me used to carry pretty much every Worthington Foods product and none of the frozen ones were vegan, so it's doubtful that this one would be the exception.

Boo. :( I wonder why this vegan family was all about it, then? *shrugs* I'll never find a good chicken. They all have eggs!

[storytellerslie]

have you tried the Morningstar chick'n strips or the Boca chick'n patties (though those are only sometimes vegan depending on what kind your store carries: here's the vegan ones on their website: http://www.bocaburger.com/product_meatless/4.html, while the non-vegan ones are usually in like a tan box and their egg whites are one of the ingredients that there's less than 2% of)?

Wow, that's ugly. All because I transposed > with " Here are the other two that didn't become pretty links:

Hi, worthington carries a brand called Loma Linda a lot of the canned goods under that name are vegan. They actually say vegan really big on the top right corner of the can, They can be ordered from Amazon.com. They used to have a bunch of products, looks like they are outofstock on a bunch.
Well here is a few products http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gro/104-2510760-3588702?initialSearch=1&url=search-alias%3Dgrocery&field-keywords=loma+linda

If you search loma linda or worthington in amazon you should find some good stuff.

[awesomlytwisted]

Thanks! Have you tried any of it?

I tried the tender bits, it doesn't look like they carry them any more, they were pretty good.
