Review by Erin Pavlina

Steve and I are on a mission to find some good tasting meat substitutes. Five years ago there wasn't too much available, but thankfully there are now some great companies making some great products.

This week we decided to try the Buffalo Wings from Health is Wealth. They are shaped like little drumsticks (almost a turn off) with a breaded coating and some hot stuff like cayenne pepper in the batter. I was concerned they'd be too spicy, so I made some up and dipped them in Creamy Garlic Dressing from Follow Your Heart. Helped to soften the spice a little.

I was suprised to discover that they looked a lot like real chicken on the inside. It wasn't spongy like other meat substitutes can be. In fact, I had to look twice to make sure I didn't accidentally pick up the real chicken version!

They weren't overly spicy either. They have a nice zing to them that doesn't linger too long in the mouth. Not necessarily suited for young ones though, so be careful. In short, they taste great. I am sure we'll be adding a box or two per week to our shopping list.
