OKAY i realllyyy wanted to like this and i’ve never had actual spam before (lol i used to be such a picky eater) so i can’t really compare this to the non vegan version but it was just like…really salty and the texture wasn’t my thing i love salty foods but this was surprisingly too much for me like it looks like non vegan spam but it lowkey just tastes a little FUNKY to me, but since i’ve never tried the non vegan version i’m not 100% sure lol anyway i unfortunately won’t be buying this again it’s just not my thing yk (BUT I WILL FINISH THE BAG IT ISNT THAT BAD)

Delicious…. I like it just by itself.. but going to make breakfast biscuits.. textures, taste, cooking time.. all perfect. #veganisnotscary
I was happy when Omnipork came out with this vegan “spam” like product because I know a lot of people use that and it allows vegans to have variety. That said, something about the taste is just off putting for me. I took one bite and that was it. I wouldn’t buy again. My husband ate his but thinks it’s just okay. I do think it’s just a personal taste thing and not a bad review of the product’s quality.
It seems like a great replacement for spam if you enjoy that could use bolder flavor though for my tastes, maybe I’ll try some spices next time. Overall a great experience.
I’ve never had SPAM before so I went into this without any expectations and cannot compare the two. They do seem to be similar to pork products in that they are salty and oily. I did not need to add any oil to the pan to fry these, though I did use a non-stick pan. There is not a lot of seasoning but I suppose that is good as you can flavor as you seem fit for the dish. The texture was a little softer than I expected but perhaps I could have crisped them up further. They were savory and tasty. UPDATE: I’m bumping these up a bit as I’ve had them a few more times and really enjoy them! I was able to crisp them up further and do enjoy the texture. The regular price is a bit high, but I’ve been able to find them on sale at Sprouts frequently and they sometimes appear at Grocery Outlet for a great deal!
