Uncle Eddies Vegan Assorted Gift Box

I loved these tasty gems. Even though they were a bit pricy, I would buy them again and recommend them to others.

Assorted Vegans! For only $35? What a deal! I was quite looking forward to receiving my Assorted Box of Vegans, but when it arrived, I was woefully disappointed to find a box full of cookies. I was really hoping for a diverse group of Vegans with whom I could converse, and learn more about the Vegan lifestyle. You see, I tend to view Vegans pretty negatively--I can't stand their jeremiads about unethical treatment of animals, long-winded explanations about why honey is the product of animal abuse, and why pleather shoes are a legitimate fashion choice. I really wanted to get my assorted Vegans settled around a crackling fire so we could explore their philosophy and mine, and see if we couldn't reach some truce with each other. Sadly, this was not meant to be, and I was left with a poor substitute for authentic, chock-full-o-butter and eggs cookies.

Despite the product labeling, there is no mention in the ingredients list of these cookies containing any vegans at all. The claim that they are 100% vegan is therefore false advertising.You will be hearing from my lawyer.

My husband was vegan for six months, I however, was not. So I'm a snob when it comes to having to eat vegan food. These cookies are excellent on their own merit and I thoroughly enjoyed them. They shipped extremely quickly too! We ate them over the course of two weeks (that took a lot of self control, but they were supposed to be for my husband so I had to hold back) and they never went stale.

I was sent a box of Uncle Eddie's by my young niece, a convert to veganism after a recent - and by all accounts, traumatic - school trip to the local abattoir.Not being of the vegan persuasion myself, I was unaccustomed to animal-free comestibles. The chewiness of the cookies was surprisingly pleasant, although they definitely lacked the flavour of their traditionally-made cookie cousins due to the absence of butter and other ethically-incorrect animal ingredients.Happily this minor disappointment was easily remedied by immersing the cookies in a shallow bath of warmed lard prior to ingestion. Personally, I prefer the fuller flavour of unrendered lard (obtained from the fatty deposits surrounding the pig's kidneys) but feel sure that the cheaper varieties made from the hard fat between the back skin and the flesh of the pig will suffice for people with less refined palates.By following my advice for post-production animal fat insertion, you can now guzzle guilt-free without compromising on the flavour.

I ordered this thinking I was getting Uncle Eddies Virgin Assorted Gift Box, so I was disappointed when I opened the package. But there has to be a first time, even for vegans. And, on the plus side, I discovered that I need to order new eyeglasses.

I'm a David Pogue fan and enjoy reading Pogue's Posts. I was a bit surprised to see this on his exploration list. I really enjoy Uncle Eddie's cookies (I buy them locally); They have the texture and taste of some of the best home made ones. As a good vegan, I don't eat them with Tuscan Milk (I prefer Westsoy Unsweetened Soy Milk).Jokes aside, these are wonderful cookies...

Just wanted to say that I highly recommend these cookies! They are the best vegan cookies I've found (in 20 years of being vegan). Great flavor, soft texture, organic and good for you and animals and the environment... Trail Mix is my personal favorite.
