I've been eating Linketts since I was a very young child since my Grandparents are vegetarians, and I LOVE them. I will admit it is a very aquired taste. I even got my boyfriend started on them and he loves them too. =D

I would suggest finding a store that sells them by the can before you invest in a whole case. I know that you can find them at Raley's on the West Coast. If local health food stores don't carry them check to see if there is a Seventh Day Adventist Church near you. The SDA Church typically has a book center that sells the Worthington/Loma Linda products.

Edit: I have also found Linketts in the natural food section of Kroger's here in Texas as well. Another Edit.. My local Kroger has stopped carrying Linketts. =(

These are the best veggie dogs around. There are 10 linketts in a can and everytime I open a can I fight myself to not eat all of them in a single day.
However if you are not a vegetarian/vegan yet, don't start buying a whole pack even though they are much cheaper at amazon.com.
Buy a single can (they have it at Walmart, or you can ask at a Seventh Day Adventist Church, they'll know where to find a store around) and don't give up if you find it doens't taste like the traditional dog, because these don't have meat in it.
But if you are veggie lover, you'll notice Linketts Loma Linda are # 1.

I really like these vege hot dogs and have been eating them since I was a young adult( 1970's). I fry them and when they have a light crust I eat them with mustard, relish and onions. They are an acquired taste and don't taste like a real hot dog, but the taste to me is flavorful in a vege dog kind of way! If you have never tried them before you might consider a single can from Kroger food store. They sell them in their organic foods section. If you decide you like them and also the idea of no risk of meat borne disease, then the best way to order is through Amazon.com. The deliver is great, shipping is free, and a grocery discount available at this time makes buying them with Amazon cheaper than through the Kroger grocery store. Hope this was helpful to you! PS I also prefer them over the Vegelinks, however my 12 yo grandson prefers the vegelinks, so I buy both.

They are vegan, they taste like the meat hot dogs I used to eat before I went vegetarian, and they are pre-cooked so you can eat them right from the can for quick protein. They have a nice texture and taste, and are packed in liquid, which I drain off and then save them in plastic bags in the fridge or freezer. They freeze and thaw in the fridge with no problem.

Vegetarian for many years. This product is great. Guests don't even realize that they are not reg. franks. They freeze well after you open the can. We use five at a time and freeze for another date. Put dough over them as well for a blanket and bake. Have been using this product for over 20 years and will continue to do so.

Like others here, I acquired a taste to these things when I was a child. I can understand that they make some people uncomfortable; they look like slimy worms from a deep dark cave. And their taste is nothing like a real hot dog. They are sort of in a class by themselves like a Dorito. You eat it knowing that it has to be one of the most highly manufactured foods in existence but, putting these considerations aside, I heat them up on toast and with a little cheese they are quite good. If I had a can here now I'd eat it.

But I don't have a can here. Why not? Simple: $75 (and climbing) for a box of 20 cans. Hey Loma Linda, I know that you had to torture a lot of wheat to make them contort into slimy worms but there really should be a golden ticket in one of those cans at that price point. On second thought maybe I don't want to tour your deep dark caves.

I love linketts. I'm a vegetarian. I've had meat in my youth. They aren't meat. But they're a great substitute and provide a consistency and flavor to aid meat eaters in becoming vegetarian.

Wow. I ordered these yesterday afternoon, and they arrived before noon today, in a snow/ice day when the city is shut down and everyone is working at home and schools are closed. Super saver shipping. Wow.

I have enjoyed these veggie hot dogs since I was a child....now my children love them too! a value compared to buying in the local health market.

thanks amazon!

I was raised on these, and now my kids love them! We usually just heat them in the microwave. They are good with soup, spaghetti-o's, dinner, lunch, etc. I like them cold, sliced on a salad or in a sandwitch with lettuce, tomato, etc. There is no meat in these, so you don't need to cook them. They can also be used in most ways hot dogs can, except I don't think these taste that good boiled. You can grill them, cut them into baked beans, roll them in Pillsbury Crescent rolls and bake, etc. They are very versatile and a good source of protein that my kids will eat!

If you like plain old veggie hot dogs, not the fancy apple or spice blends, then these will probably work well for you. They're the closest thing I've found to a beef frank in a vegan version. I've been buying these for years, since way back in the 70's in Berkeley when I first discovered vegetarian eating. These are just plain old links with fairly thin skins that absorb the flavors of other foods somewhat when you add them to another dish. They are the only ones that I use when making sauerkraut and mashed potatoes or with vegetarian baked beans. I've cut them into smaller pieces and marinated them in vinegar and pepper spices to make a hot pickled sausage like you used to see in taverns in a big jar.

It's sort of weird that they come in a can but they're packed in liquid which keeps them moist. (It's always a challenge to get the first one out without breaking it). I have a hard time finding this product in the grocery stores so I was delighted to find that Amazon sells them by the case and with Prime shipping it's a good deal.
