Vegetarian Star

Singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb recently Tweeted about a snack involving soy chicken.

“Yum! Vegan asian snack! Fresh rolls. Soy chicken. Anyone else psyched? Anyone sad about it?”

We can’t think of any reason to be sad about it. Unless they were rooting for seitan chicken.

Just where can you get your soy chicken anyway? There is an abundance of veggie brands at your local natural foods stores, and even mainstream stores stock a few here and there.

Be on the lookout for these faux chickens who never lost their wings while getting to your plate.

Gardenburger: Carries a breaded faux chicken patty.

Quorn: Not made from soy, but mycoprotein. Yes, it’s a fungus. Sounds gross, but tastes good! Quorn has grilled faux chicken, faux chicken wings, faux chicken nuggets, and more!

Lightlife: Faux chicken fillets, strips, both plan and seasoned with savory flavoring or lemon pepper.

Boca: Breaded faux chicken, spicy faux chicken, nuggets, and even a “chicken on a bun with Swiss” sandwich.

Morningstar Farms: Buffalo wings, nuggets, patties, and herbed patties.

Yves: Smoked faux chicken, Thai lemongrass meatless chicken.

Don’t know about you, but we’re all chickened out!

Any entrepreneur or developer knows getting a successful product out is more than just putting in eight hours a day.

There are often late nights, weekends, and pounds of bacon to shove down your throat regularly.

Neil Gillis, former managing director of Linda McCartney foods, has told the UK Guardian just how dedicated Paul McCartney was to improving the vegetarian food range of his late wife.

“He took over after Linda died and it was very helpful, he was very interested in the products, like when we developed vegetarian bacon – he ate it for breakfast everyday so was keen to get it right.”

Now veggie bacon is delish and all, but everyday for breakfast? That’s dedication!

After Milwaukee Brewer’s first baseman Prince Fielder won the Home Derby Competition, a mobile pizza truck that sells pizza by the slice in Milwaukee, Street-za, made a special pizza to honor the hometown hero.

There’s just one problem.

Prince Fielder is a vegetarian and that pizza ain’t nowhere near veggie.

Here are the toppings for the Streetza Brew Crew Sausage Race:

Italian sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, Polish sausage and hot dogs.

Vendor dudes could have at least did a little bit of research before whipping that up. A pizza slice abundant with veggies or even multiple varieties of cheese would have been better.

The perfect slice, of course, would be one topped with faux sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, and hot dogs, as it would be the perfect opportunity to show fans what Prince is getting and what they’re missing on a regular basis.

Sigh. Opportunity missed.

Gotta give the Street-za guys credit for putting a vegan pizza on the menu, though, with the description, “Hopefully we aren’t banished from Wisconsin for this pizza. A Cheese-less pizza with our tomato sauce, fresh spinach, eggplant, onions, & cajun spiced potatoes. How can a pizza be good with no cheese? It is. Trust us.”

“Just got a call from V-Bites – 3000 plus today – unbelievable. So happy people are loving it.”

“I am knackered but on an adrenaline high – and getting to watch people eat great food everyday. What more could I want?”

—-Heather Mills, on recent Twitter updates on the success of her new vegan restaurant, V Bites,  in Hove Lagoon in the UK. Sounds like Heather’s got a party going on in her body like Ginnifer Goodwin had when she went vegan.

Heather Mills is offering some of her vegan meals she serves at her V Bites restaurant in frozen entrees to eat at home.

But there’s a catch.

Your doorstep must be within mainland UK.

There’s no 30 minutes or less guarantee either.

Green gossip site Ecorazzi.com speculated this might be Heather’s frozen line of vegan meals she’s been talking about for some time. But other sources says those are expected to be named Mighty Meatless Meals in Minutes, so perhaps Heather’s just making some of her restaurant selections available for customers to heat up at home, with an additional frozen line to come.

Keeping with traditional British food, V Bites online offers Breaded Fish Style Fingers.

There’s also vegan versions of  hotdogs, quarter pounder burgers, as well as vegan Greek and smoked style cheese.

Ingredients for all products are simple, mainly consisting of soya or texturized vegetable protein and sometimes tofu in the case of the cheeses. A few spices here and there complete the meals that are high in protein, free from GMOs, and completely animal product and by-product free.

To view all V Bites foods currently offered online, visit the V Bites online store.

Paul McCartney is in Halifax, Nova Scotia for a concert tonight and the thecoast.ca has listed some suggested places the vegetarian can grab a bite to eat before his show.

We already know Paul won’t be patronizing the donair establishments, but he might find these restaurants can buy his love.

Heartwood
These guys have several dishes named after Paul, like the “Macca-roni.” Plus, there’s the Lonely Hearts Club Sandwich with smoked tofu and soy mayonnaise. Somebody who created that menu is a fan.

The Wooden Monkey
Made with fresh organic and macrobiotic ingredients, The Wooden Monkey is a good place for mixed eaters-offering dozens of vegetarian options like the veggie burger, Japanese dumplings with tofu, and chickpea salad in addition to the meat selections.

Read the entire list of places Paul can eat at, including where he can get a vegan breakfast tomorrow morning.
