How are you guys liking the new plant based meals at 7/11?

[Hal65]

The spaghetti is good. Likewise for the frozen pork rice. My favorite is the plant based holy basil rice, it's delicious for a 7/11 meal. Good for the environment and less animal suffering is the cherry on top. Between this and the impossible whopper at BK I can see meat slowly phasing out with no ill effects. What say you?

[Olmate]

Give me a plant based grass fed Oz tbone .Sorry bout the no cherry!

Pork is not plant based is it? I have only ever seen 2, Chinese stew and Kow pat kai in the freezer

[Crossy]

I can understand vegetarian and even vegan, but making plant based stuff look and taste (something) like meat?

 

I had some superb "pure-veg" meals in India, and I could actually cope with living on it.

 

One one hand we are being told not to consume "highly processed" food, I can't think of much that's more processed than plant matter made into "meat" (other than via an actual animal).

 

"Vegetables are not food, food eats vegetables" ???? 

 

[Ventenio]

OK, too much information..........too bad.     

 

I bought one.   first time.    For months, my stomach was fine.   no problems.   pretty rare in LOS.   after eating these "plants."

 

ran to the toilet a few times......

 

next morning, fine.   

 

yes, Indian food sounds great.

These is a plant based pork one in the freezer. Some 7/11s are missing random items including this one though

What is this plant based pork in 711? I must be missing something. How much are they selling for the rice and plant based pork?

[Artisi]

I've been vegetarian for 30 + year and loath imitation "meat" - can't  really see the need or understand why you would want to eat it. 

[1FinickyOne]

I would not really consider 7/11 as a place I might go out for a meal... but nice to hear they are getting in some good stuff. 

[asiacurious]

Going to have to try some of this stuff.  Probably loaded with chemicals but I'll see what the labels say.

45 baht I believe.  Again, not at every location, but at many/most in Pattaya

When will they be  getting the Soilent green in  ?

 

My daughter  who is a staunch  vegan ,was coming home

from work and she fancied a McDonalds vegan burger,she

got it to go , and when she got home and opened it up they

had given her a beef big Mac, I told her she could have sued

them for mental distress...many would.

 Rumour has it that's what you end up as, if you get permanently banned on here.

Anyone tried the BK Impossible Burger. I was tempted the other day, then common sense prevailed. ????????????

Indian vegetarian is excellent.  If eating dishes with no meat I prefer Indian food. 

[Sametboy2019]

Bought some  PB spicy Bologna slices last night.

That's the nicest thing I can say about them.

[Dazinoz]

I love plant based meat, as long as its from a meat packing plant.

[CLW]

Tried the plant-based Thai basil meal, it was good. Better than some meat-based I have eaten over the years.

The others I haven't tried yet.

I would like to try Avatar crispy pork imitation meat, anyone had already?

Gf doesn't eat pork but I love crispy pork Thai basil so this might be worth a try.

[ddotmark]

I tried a 7-11 plant-based hamburger last week. It tasted better than the 7-11 pork burgers I normally eat. I was pleasantly surprised. Also, if I recall correctly, the price was 38 baht vs 35 baht for the pork burger.

[Thingamabob]

I reckon, and hope, that killing and eating animals will have stopped within a couple of generations. People will look back over the history of humanity and be appalled at our cruel and selfish behaviour.

[keithkarmann]

Had the cheese and spinach, tasty but not very big, never checked the price as wifey was paying.

[Hal65]

I just tried the plant based burger. Bit of a pork taste. Patty was good but the soggy bottom bun caused by microwaving reminded me to toast it at home next time. I think it'll be a winner though. The PB Whopper at BK is delicious but 160 baht, this one was 35 baht or thereabout. could buy 4 for the price of the whopper so well worth home heating.

 

I also spotted plant based bolonga, plus a spicy variant. I bought them too and will try them in a sandwich perhaps with animal based cheese.

 Animal  based cheese sounds cruel to me.Hope it wasn,t sliced!

I like something called "Beyond Burger" better than IM because the texture matches Dead Cow burgers better.  

 

IM is made from soy, BB is made from peas.

 I've tried the Beyond Burger and The Beyond Meat is sold at Tops in the freezers I must say it's not bad at all. I'm not vegetarian but I really liked it.

Cant wait to get back to Thailand to try it. Im still a 'flexitarian' but I eat much more vegetarian food in the UK simply because it has never been 'conveniently' available before in Thailand. I have good vegi sausages, burgers, curry burgers, Quorn Southern fried chicken, pasties and sausage rolls in my UK freezer.

Pity how overpriced veg Indian food is in Thailand. We can't afford takeaways starting at 300B.

 

BTW, what brand are these veg meals at 7-11 & found where in the stores? Thx. (Lifelong vegetarian, 71 now.)

[Golden Triangle]

Sorry but the last place I buy food is 7/11 as for plant based imitation meat, you're having a bloody giraffe mate, meat is meat simple as that, why dress up grass or whatever to look like & taste like meat ??? That is bizarre, one of my ex wives decided to go veggy, a few months later on a Friday night I ordered a Chinese for delivery, the next morning I ambled into the kitchen to make my first cup of tea for the day only to find her stuffing her face with the leftover spare ribs. 

 

My son in law & my daughter are proper veggies, vegetables, pulses, soy milk or similar, no cheese, eggs, fish or anything vaguely animal.

 

I don't understand your mindset on this one. 

[faraday]

Why not make potatoes out of meat, or Brussel sprouts?

 

I say that, coz it seems a bit odd that if one doesn't want to eat meat, then copy it?

7-11 only for snacks on the road when fueling up the car or truck.
