Does Walmart sell Imitation Meat?




GirlWithTh


I am trying out the Vegiterian life, and so far I like it, so I was wondering if Walmart has imitation meat?


Answer
Walmart has a small vegetarian section, normally by the breakfast foods for some reason, which includes Boca burgers. I personally don't care for them, the homemade version is much tastier and cheaper as well.

Homemade boca burgers:
1 cup lentils
2 cups water
1/2 cup onion
1 egg
2 - 3 tsp steak seasoning
1 cup oatmeal

Cook the lentils in the water until soft, 30 min to one hour. Smash with a potato masher, fork or a stick blender. (I like the potato masher best.) Beat the egg and add it and all other ingredients, mix well with your hands, like a meatloaf. Shape into patties and fry like a burger.

Note: If mixture seems too wet, add a little flour. Brown lentils are best but you can only buy the green ones at walmart. They will work also but don't get quite as soft when cooked so they don't mash as well. I've used them plenty of times however. You can get the brown ones at any Whole Foods. Both kinds are super cheap, yes, even the ones from Whole Paycheck.


Here's another recipe for tacos made with lentils, it's not completly veggie but I just use water instead of the chicken stock. You can also use it in burritos.

You can also use TVP as a substitute for meat but Walmart does not sell it normally. It comes in a dry form and is made by Bob's Red Mill. Amazon sells it for a good price. You soak it then use it like meat in soups, chili and spaghetti sauce.
