GOOD NEWS! Morning Star brought back the veggie dog!

[HopeHoops]

It's in a box now instead of the shrink-wrapped block you couldn't get apart easily. I haven't opened it yet so I don't know what to expect, but I hope it is the same product as before. "Tofu pup" types are gross and SmartDogs, while closest, split when you try to skewer them lengthwise to cook over a fire. There's a can of sauerkraut, caraway seeds from our garden, and spicy brown mustard waiting to meet for a quick dinner tonight.

1. Wow, I just wrote a note to myself

before I got on today, to have sauerkraut and dogs or pork or sausage tonight. Must be a good day for it?


On edit: Only my kraut will have brown sugar and black pepper too.

2. I'll skip the brown sugar - it doesn't go well with caraway or hot mustard.

Freshly cracked black pepper certainly does!!! And sharp cheddar cheese. Shit. I just added two ingredients to my "simple" dinner.

3. I like the SmartDogs.

Yes, the texture is a little limp, but they are vegan.

My father-in-law tried to grill one for me not long ago... holy cow, it was AWFUL! Better stick to simpler cooking methods...

4. I've done them over the open fire. It's a delicate operation. Morning Star dogs stay on the stick.

They also seem a bit "heartier" or something.

5. Don't all the morning star products have like 800 ingredients?

Maybe they have gotten better. I know about 15 years ago they all had lots of stuff in them.

6. Not really, and nothing disgusting.

7. Thanks, I'll look at their packaging again.

8. Are they vegan?

I like the Smart Dogs, and the kids love them, but I'm always interested in trying new stuff.

9. They contain eggs and milk, so definitely not.
