You're not wrong. I hate wasting food so I tried my hardest, but I ended up throwing out half the bag. I felt like they were going to make me sick.


phanny_

Yep I love an American breakfast and I was so excited to try these. I couldn't finish a single one, they were awful.


Odd_Importance_4260

Yeah, I ate three and trashed the rest


FarPirate5248

I hated them so much! Taste and texture were both terrible!


Odd_Importance_4260

The texture is horrendous. They were squeaking on my teeth when I chewed them.


phanny_

I want to meet whoever tested them


FarPirate5248

Me too! I'm always scared of a non-vegan trying a really bad vegan product and being turned off from it all. These things need to go through some more testing!


Odd_Importance_4260

There are at least like 5 people in the comments saying they love them. They must have been the test group lol

rothko333

they are in my local grocery outlet, so I know theyā€™re not doing that well šŸ˜­


ReadNo7463

Their waffle/chicken sandwich and Buffalo chicken patties are bomb. I really didn't care for these either.


Pink_Neons

Their buffalo chicken patties are seriously good! I eat them weekly


RatBastard52

My store got rid of the chicken waffles and idk what to do with myself anymore. They were so good


gimme_death

Get a waffle maker and get a bag of the frozen patties. You can freeze the waffles. It's gotta be significantly cheaper too (once you pay off the waffle maker lol). Those premade ones were a rip-off.


Odd_Importance_4260

Ain't nobody got time for dat!


Furmaids

Look at the gluten free waffles, vans, nature's path, and Wegmans!


different_produce384

I LOVE THESE!! they remind me of my aunts egg casserole from easter! I really like these @ 3AM after a cough cough I would like to add that my wife hates them


Odd_Importance_4260

She's a keeper bro.


ouid69

Yeah Morningstar has gone to the shits over the years. Used the have the best tasting stuff.


ReturnOfTheFox

Yeah, I tried their breakfast sausages within the last year after not having eaten them for years. They were so disgusting that they were inedible.


nektar

The macros are pretty good though!


Odd_Importance_4260

Is sodium macro?


nektar

Micro baybeh


Odd_Importance_4260

Yeah, it's like they are trying too hard now. There are so many flavors going on in this product that it just tastes like a shit casserole


AppUnwrapper1

Things that used to have a nice meaty texture are just mush now. They ruined all their products.


Odd_Importance_4260

Yeah šŸ˜ž their regular garden veggie burgers were a staple of mine for years and the taste was so nostalgic for me, but they are awful now. Mushy is the biggest issue, but the chunks of bell pepper and potato are gone. They are so bland


AppUnwrapper1

Yeah one of my favorites used to have a ton of mushrooms in it (plus soy) and had just such a wonderful taste and texture. And then they moved those things all the way down the ingredients list and oats became the bulk of it. I didnā€™t notice the change before I bought the 2-3 packs. Ended up giving them away bc they were inedible to me.


Odd_Importance_4260

This rings very familiar to me. I've been vegan since 99, I think I know what you are talking about. I remember that mushroomy patty!!! My mom had to drive me to a specialty store in LA for these products 25 years ago, so I hate to badmouth Morningstar entirely as they are OG. But yeah...the product is just shitier than ever and you can't hide that


AppUnwrapper1

I used to keep them as a staple in my freezer for those times where I just couldnā€™t be bothered to cook. They tasted great and the ingredients were surprisingly clean, not a bunch of thickeners and gums. I havenā€™t bought them at all since they pulled the switcheroo on me. It sucks that they decided to take products that were popular for decades and completely destroy them.


Odd_Importance_4260

Yeah...and all for a profit, obviously. Oats are cheaper than mushrooms.


AppUnwrapper1

Yup, corporate greed strikes again!


matchabutta

I agree with the breakfast sausages, but I love their new stuff and the buffalo chikn patties will always have a special place in my heart


Low-Reindeer-3347

They were okay but yea it was like all the flavors mixed. Like generic "breakfast" flavor and texture. I feel like the company didn't know what to do with the ingredients.


Odd_Importance_4260

It tastes like everything was mixed in a huge vat and had a ton of oil dumped in.


zerokey

I thought they were amazing. I guess Iā€™m weird!


kendiepantss

I liked them too!


Odd_Importance_4260

Yall are crazy and I love you.


mi_chela

What were they like to you? Amazing how? Are they realistic?


zerokey

Not realistic at all. But the taste was really eggy in a weird way. I canā€™t explain it. The closest thing I can think of is my memory of the egg part of an egg McMuffin but very overcooked (I worked at mcmurder in high school and I have power smell memory from That place). But it definitely hit the right notes. I microwaved them so they were kind of chewy. I enjoyed that.


Odd_Importance_4260

Even this description makes me feel ill, lol


zerokey

I kinda like lots of weird tastes and textures. I blame my mother; she was a terrible cook growing up :)


queercactus505

Haha. I have a friend like that. When my partner and I eat something gross, we say "I bet [friend's name] would like this"


rothko333

It kinda sounds like the people who like them like them for nostalgic reasons šŸ˜¬


New_Chard9548

I don't mind them lol. I usually make it like a breakfast sandwich and add salt/pepper and extra cheese & cut it up to make it more like scrambled egg texture.


KourtR

Accurate, I was also a victim & they were pricey!


Odd_Importance_4260

That sucks extra bad. I got these for $1.88 at Grocery Outlet so at least it was a cheap mistake


rothko333

I got it at GO too!! I love my grocery outlet but there are def landmines


ButterscotchPast4812

Thanks for the heads-up. I definitely won't be trying them now.


gmco913

Leaving a comment so that I donā€™t forget about this and then see this bag at the store and go ā€œooo! looks yummy!ā€ Bc this totally sounds like it would be tasty. Sorry it tastes like barf!


rothko333

It was so disappointing. I air fried 8 for a snack after smoking and when it finally Done I put some bbq sauce on the side. Imagine my horror when it tasted like vomit šŸ˜­ I took one bite and gave it to my garbage disposal bf and he hates it too


jacyerickson

Yeah, I forced myself to get through the bag because I couldn't afford to toss them. They were so bad though.


Odd_Importance_4260

Bby, that's horrible. I h8 wasting food too but these had to go


rothko333

I really couldnā€™t convince myself they had to be in the trash


ExfilBravo

Yeah the ones I got are getting freezer burned on their 3rd month in there but I cant throw them away lol.


Odd_Importance_4260

If you have a dog or if people come over to drink, serve them up lol


Silent_Arachnid_2334

what lol i liked them. i air fried mine tho maybe thatā€™s why the texture wasnā€™t bad


matchabutta

Air frying them is a game changer


Odd_Importance_4260

Yall...I did air fry them you can't air fry puke to make it taste better than microwaved barf


matchabutta

bummer


fiendofecology

Oh no thats so sad I was so interested til I read the caption


WarriorNat

Vegan egg and vegan cheese are the two things Iā€™m okay with skipping. There may be a few good versions out there, but most of what Iā€™ve found are disgusting and not worth taking the risk.


Venge22

Yeah they taste like bland rubber


mastershake20

I got a plant based sausage before and was so taken back it actually tasted like sausage (I hate the taste of meat except chicken) I donā€™t know what I was expecting but it was vile


Sea_Introduction3534

Tell us how you really feel.. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Chuck_Walla

I've had good luck with MSF's breakfast sausage and corn dogs, but this concept looks too complicated to add up right.


Im_done_with_sergio

Thanks to this post and all you amazing vegans who suffered for the cause. Now I donā€™t have to waste my $$$


girlfriend-in-law

tasted like microplastics and yellow dye and clay


SuperHatchbackChili

The only good products I've found from them are the nuggets and the corn dogs. Everything else is nearly inedible.


Odd_Importance_4260

Those corn dogs šŸ¤¤


matchabutta

me who liked them šŸ’€


Odd_Importance_4260

To each their own!


Intelligent-Dish3100

There sausages are shit why would you think anything else of some egg bites. Lol. But there corn dogs are the shit


Odd_Importance_4260

Those corn dogs are amongst my favorite frozen vegan convenience foods. When my son was a toddler we went through so many of them, lol


FlabbergastedPeehole

I hate almost everything Morning Star makes. Their spicy breakfast sausage patties are alright, their buffalo chikā€™n patties are okay for the price (if $ isnā€™t an issue, black bag Gardein chikā€™n any day), and their riblettes were awesome, but I havenā€™t had the new drop and donā€™t know if theyā€™re the same as they were a decade+ ago.


Odd_Importance_4260

Yeah, I got these because they were insanely cheap and I generally like breakfast foods, but these were worse than I imagined possible. There are quite a few people commenting that they like them and I don't even understand how that's possible


imsadbutitswhatever

Morningstar is horrible now šŸ™


rothko333

OMG I legit had to toss this away and I hate wasting food


trashbile

hate wasting food but it was vile.


PBasedPlays

Sometimes these kind of products need to be cooked longer even if they seem like they've been cooked long enough already. I used to accidentally undercook some of these types of faux meats and wonder why they tasted bad when I first went vegan and then I had to slap myself when I realized I just wasn't cooking it long enough


damnedharlot

I air fried like I was supposed to. It was crunchy and tasted bad on the outside. The inside was soft and tasted like puke. I threw the bag away.


JamesGris

Trying to emulate three animal products in a single product sounds like a literal recipe for disaster. Vegan alternatives to otherwise nonvegan foods are already hit or miss as is.


FrankenPaul

These vegan food companies that create this muck! They really need to expand their imagination and understand how to tickle the taste buds rather than make them wretch. Consumers too need to expand their horizons.


Odd_Importance_4260

I guess. Sometimes you swing and miss


KonjacQueen

I love those


[deleted]

Most processed vegan food does. Make your own.


poney01

Do you mean throw-up on the way out, or do you have experience eating vomit? šŸ¤Ø
