I just made a home-made pizza with "imitation mozzarella".

[Bonobo]

My wife accidentally bought it.

If this post prevents even ONE PERSON from ever eating that disgusting shit, it will have been worth it.

One bite of an otherwise delicious pizza, and the "mozzarella" coated my teeth like sticky slime. It was SO GROSS!

1. Shoulda used Velveeta.

yep

[Kali]

17. ...

:spray: <---really!

[Ikonoklast]

2. Did it taste like cheap bar soap?

Vile nasty tasting crap.

[Bonobo]

3. It coated my teeth the way baby aspirin do.

Or if you've ever had chamomille "teething tablets" for babies.

Kinda like talcum...

Blech, I LOVE pizza and just thinking about that desecration makes me furious!

4. Ugh, I feel nauseous just reading that!

:puke:

5. That is why I have not become a Vegan yet , although I am trying ...

no good fake cheese out there.

13. Vegan Gourmet fake mozzarella is very pleasant

though it has very little in common with mozzarella. Seems more like a cross between mozzarella and ricotta; I found it pleasant mixed in with pasta, but almost useless on pizza. (Their definition of "it melts!" is significantly different than mine.)

14. Is your avatar a picture of your kitty?

So cute! I have a black and white kitty too.

[Bossy Monkey]

23. 'Tis. Amelia the cat (the bossy monkey herself)

I claim that she's a Norwegian forest cat, but as she has no papers, officially she's just a domestic longhair. The sweetie sweet sweet of all time, though. Amelia says hi to your black and white kitty.

15. Have you tried Teese yet?

I've heard plenty of good things about it, and as a cheese lover, even though I'm not vegan, I want to give it a try.

[Shell Beau]

6. I don't guess I have ever tried it. Does it melt as well as regular

mozz? What was the main difference? The taste or the texture?

[Bonobo]

9. The texture.

It burned a bit at the end too, unlike the way mozzerella would. As for the taste, it was hard to tell. The overly strong Trader Joe's sauce overpowered it (not recommended) and I could only stomach a few bites anyway.

But yes, texture was GROSS!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. we finally agree on the one thing. imitation mozz is hell

[Bonobo]

11. You know, even cheap mozzarella is lightyears away from REAL mozzarella.

But this stuff.



:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Kali]

18. it has casein

so it ain't even vegan
gross!:puke:

[quakerboy]

8. That is a horrible thing

That no living person should ever have to experience. Perhaps we have been on the wrong track with this health care reform. We should scrap that and start over, with a universal no imitation cheese reform. You have to fix the basics before you worry about the details.

[flvegan]

10. What brand?

There are currently four really good melty faux cheeses out there. If you got it at the supermarket, it's probably crap.

[Bonobo]

12. Valu Time. It was bad, so so bad.

[flvegan]

19. Never heard of it, but I believe it.

I've tried something like 15 kinds, and it's all sucked until the few that came out recently. Seems they finally got it right, except that it's not cheap.

[AllieB]

16. Most of the fake cheeses are heavily processed and made with crappy oils.

Plus they don't taste anything like real mozzarella. Blech.

[Skittles]

20. so, did you "accidentally" eat it, Bonobo?

I thought not; ass-kicking scheduled

[Bonobo]

21. Until I ate it and it "slimed" my teeth, I had no idea it wasn't regular Mozz. nt

[elocs]

22. Here in WI you can be shot for putting imitation cheese on a pizza.

When I was a kid here back in the 50s, restaurants were legally required to serve butter and not margarine. In fact, you could not buy colored margarine. It was white and you had to mix in a color packet. I can remember people smuggling colored oleo from Iowa.

[AllieB]

24. Margarine is the devil. it's so funny to see 'health foods' use margarine as an ingredient.

That stuff shouldn't be classified as a food.
