I had some veggie meatballs tonight with my spaghetti. They were nice sized and they recommended they be simmered in sauce. I liked them just fine. It is a good thing too, because I have a lot of them. Have you ever had veggie meatballs. What did you think? I would recommend this brand.

Yes, we tried a lot of the vegetarian options on the market. Some of the stuff tastes fine and some of it doesn't. (Which brand did you try?) Pretty fixes a lot of vegetarian meals even though she has no problem eating meat. (We got on a vegetarian kick when we thought vanny was going to come to the US to live with us. We wanted her to feel at home as much as we could manage.)

Gardien, they were yummy. I guess I am vegetarian about twice per week. Sadly, I ruined it today because I had a protein pack that had diced meat

@DaddyEvil Gardien is pretty common here, but maybe they don't sell it everywhere

@snowy22315 Hmm... I don't remember that brand as one we've had before. We've had the "Beyond" branded chicken nuggets and hamburger patties. And we tried Daring brand chicken nuggets. We weren't impressed. It seems like we talked about one brand Pretty and I tried before but I can't remember what that brand was

I used to buy the IKEA vegetable meatballs (that they make from many, many years) and I have always liked them.

I never tried those. I like to get Swedish products there like jams and so forth. I think I may have bought the Swedish meatballs there.

@LadyDuck The marketplace is my favorite part of the IKEA store. I used to go to IKEA alot when I lived nearby, but I am about an hour away from one now..and the traffic is a pain in the neck.

I've not tried them yet. We order our beef by the quarter, and it is alot of meat for just 2 old folks like us. We share a bit with our son and his wife, but as a result there is always so much for me to find ways to cook it up. Meatballs is a good way, so I will not be able to try any veggie meatballs unless I see them on a menu when I am out.

@snowy22315 Of course that would mean that I will need to go to a restaurant, which I haven't been out in a very long time. Next weekend we will eat out while we are away.

@RubyHawk Yes, I will put mayo on them sometimes too, instead of ketchup or mustard. In fact most often. I don't think ketchup and or mustard are good on veggie burgers.

I am a longtime vegetarian and have had lots of them--which brand were these? You can also make your own with Impossible meat--I buy it at Trader Joe's--and like it a bunch for meatballs

I had my first taste of vegetarian meatballs back in the 1970s. Even my cousin, a strict vegetarian at the time who had made the meatballs, was unimpressed with them. We found we did not need something that looked like meat to get our protein and other things meat offers. So these days, we do not order or buy fake meat. But we also do not condemn those who do.
