Meat-Free Chicken Style Chunks

Un buen producto que invita al pollo en lata. Rico y jugoso.

This product of the Philippines is not one of the better chicken subs i have tried but you might like it in a cold salad. #FauxFowlFriday

I cannot recall where I purchased this product, but I know I was intrigued. I believe the only other vegan “canned meats” I’ve tried are some Chinese style gluten pieces and some mock tuna products. Though I’d usually opt for Soy Curls, soy chunks or lentils as a shelf stable protein of choice, it’s nice to know what options are available to keep for an emergency type stash (or to have for days where you just can’t be bothered to fuss about with a complicated dinner). Though convenient, I wouldn’t repurchase this product again. The texture was fine and it worked to make the fastest “chicken salad” sandwich ever, but the flavor was a bit off to me. At first bite (trying before jazzing it up) it tastes pretty similar to most soy and gluten based mock meats, but then there’s a little lingering aftertaste that was unpleasant. Not terrible, but not appealing. Though Soy Curls do need more prep, I find them to be more enjoyable so I’ll just stick with those. I didn’t grow up using canned chicken so I may not be the best judge in that regard. Hopefully the photos are clear enough; Miss Siouxsie kept flopping about asking for belly rubs 😻 #mockmeat #unmeat #veganchicken #catsofabillion #catsofabv

Overall this was a decent product. I like that it's shelf stable so you can keep it on hand for quick meals and emergencies. The texture is soft and somewhat chewy which is good, and it's a good source of protein and calcium. The flavor was okay but it's a little too salty. There was also a weird layer of fat stuck to the lid when you open the can which was kinda gross but the product itself doesn't seem to be high in fat. This can be used in pasta dishes, wraps and sandwiches, salads, etc. Overall, good product.

We were pleased with this product and felt that it replicated the canned chicken flavor and texture very well. We mixed it with some vegan mayo and used it in sandwiches. I would definitely buy this again. #veganchicken #plantbasedchicken #plantbasedmeat #veganmeat
