My dad introduced me to the world of Soy. Soy milk, Soy hot dogs, Tofu, Soy Veggie Burger's. This miracle bean called "Soy" was every vegetarian's dream. I gobbled up everything soy, from the items I mentioned and let's add in edamame for good measure.
When I looked at the allergy list from my Doctor and one of the allergy foods was soy, needless to say I was devastated.
What the heck was I going to do with all those Morning Star Farms, Yves and Tofutti Products I had packed away in my freezer as if there was a nuclear war abound?
The lovely and talented Allergy free Adam was able to eat up all of my soy products since I preferred to live without the "bloatiness"(Not a real word I know, but I like to use it in this case for emphasis).
Venturing out into my now soy-free world, Adam and I decided to go to the supermarket to find alternatives and what we found were dismal at best.
Everything and I mean EVERYTHING vegetarian had SOY in it and if it didn't, it at least contained one of the other 13 allergies/intolerance's.
Oy Vey........
In my many supermarket/health food store adventures I came across two brands that have meatless alternatives I can imbibe on.
1- Quorn Chik'n Tenders and Quorn Beef Style Grounds.
These lovely products are made out of Mycoprotein instead of Soy. Mycoprotein is derived from mushrooms.
