Morningstar Chik Patties Review
Friday, March 31st, 2006
I’m not a vegetarian, and I’m not crazy about eating soy; so you would expect that I would have no use for these Morningstar Farms’ Chik Patties. You would be wrong — very wrong.
The first time I tried them I was skeptical, but curious. Could it taste like chicken — or barring that — could it make soy a palatable food? The answers it turns out are kinda and yes.
On the outside, the breading is crispy, while on the inside the ‘meat’ is tender, moist, and flavorful. The texture is very different from chicken in appearance — it looks almost stringy when cut up, but strangely does not feel any different than chicken in the mouth.
The patties would probably never be mistaken for real chicken patties, but that, it turns out, is a positive, since they are decidedly better than any chicken patty I’ve ever had.
And if you don’t believe me, believe my picky 2 year old. They are one of the few things he will consistently eat.
