unMEAT Plant Based Meat | Easy to Prepare Plant Based Protein | Vegan Meat with Less Calories, Luncheon Meat Style, 12 pack

If you are vegan this is a great product. My only wish was that it was packed in oil because it doesn’t have a flavor on its own but the texture is just like meat. So I would equate it with pasta, whatever flavor you like add to it and it will be delicious.

This is incredibly tasty. I have used it in sales, in soup, as a mock chicken salad and have yet to be disappointed. Almost too good to be true, really. I’ve been eating plant based for the last year and this is the closest to the taste of actual chicken that I’ve experienced.

I grew up in the South of an Appalachian mom and in a very modest home. Spam, and to a lesser degree its competitor Treet, were often on the table. As an adult, I stopped eating meat and was eventually a strict vegan for 11 years, modifying to pescatarian just in the last few. But there has always been this part of my comfort food memory associated with the deliciously greasy, salty, slightly sweet canned luncheon meat that has never been satisfied by anything else. Until now. It is gratifyingly salty but not so much as Spam, having only 34% of the sodium per serving. It has enough fat to stand on its own in the frying pan, but 6 grams less. And 50 fewer calories to boot, although to be honest I don’t think many buying this would be primarily interested in how it’s a healthier alternative. What matters to most consumers including me, is the flavor, texture and versatility. So far, I have used it just fried for sandwiches, cooked “Hawaiian style” with pineapple and teriyaki, diced into chef salad, in potato soup, as a side to eggs, and tossed into noodles. Basically I’ve recreated all those struggle meals that seemed so great to me as a kid. And it stands up to everything. It fills the intended niche almost perfectly. Nothing about it would make it deserving of a full star off but it’s always fair when comparing products to give downsides if applicable. It’s slightly more expensive than Spam. When frying, it doesn’t get as crispy, although it does quite well. And the reduced sodium could be a letdown for some, although for me it’s a plus for health reasons. Truly it’s one of the best meat substitutes I’ve ever used and I’ve tried a lot over the last 15 years. My photo is a whole loaf, baked for 30 minutes at 400°F in a frying pan.

For a vegetarian who loves sushi, these are great. They are pretty calorie dense, so not the greatest for daily eating. I hate that they are so expensive, maybe take a margin cut.

I actually ordered these while I was on Deployment in the Navy. They were delivered out to sea and I was able to get them cooked by the galley. The taste is very good. Smells like Spam and similar texture as well.
