| We had success tonight with Veggie Patch Chick N' Nuggets! He won't eat meat so I thought I'd give these a whirl for some extra protein at dinner time. He is loving them! This particular brand was the only kind they had a Safeway, but I have a Whole Foods nearby as well. Which are the most nutritious? |

| We like the Trader Joe's soy nuggets. A little dry, but you could cook them up with some oil. |

We eat Morningstar brand occasionally, though they are super high in sodium. Boca brand is also tasty, same sodium issue. Whole Foods has a brand called Quorn--made from mushrooms, I think. The texture is more rubbery than the others, but also less salty. All have decent amounts of protein.
If your child likes fake chicken nuggets, definitely try fake pork sausage--Morningstar makes great veg breakfast links and patties. The Bethesda Trader Joes has these fake meats for the lowest prices I've seen (even lower than Target). |

| The Veggie Patch ones weirded me out--how is it possible for something to stay edible for months (check out the expiration date)? I thought real food was supposed to spoil after a while (except for things like crackers and loose tea leaves). |

Quorn...my 3 yr. old eats them up! I don't eat meat but my husband is still a carnivore, and after eating a fake nuggest, he was pleasantly surprised at how good they were. He'll make a meal out them.
Boca also came out with chic nuggest. Also very very good. |

| I second Quorn and add another recommendation for Ian's chicken nuggets. I switched from the soy varieties to these two. |

| Quorn products are excellent. We've used the roast, cutlets, and tenders. No soy, just mycoprotein. Really good for a vegetarian chicken/turkey alternative. We try to avoid processed food but sometimes we need the option. |

| Another vote for Quorn. I love them! So does ds. |

| Where you do buy Quorn? We like the Morning Star ones but agree...they have tons of sodium if you care about that. |

| Whole Foods and MOMs (My organic market). They taste like the real thing! |
