These vegetarian "hot dogs" are really good. They have the right texture, which most tofu dogs and the like don't have at all. The seasoning is very good too. They stay firm boiled or grilled, although you cook them less than a product containing meat. They only have 50 calories each, and 3 grams of fat, only 0.5 grams of that is saturated. They have 0 cholesterol and 0 trans fats. They only have 180 mg of sodium. If you're doing Dr. Fuhrman's "Eat to Live" and you're just going nuts for some meat, try grilling one of these babies and slap it on a whole wheat pita bread. It will kill those cravings and keep you from doing something you'll regret.

Veja-Links taste like real weiners. They are a little softer than a real weiner, but not as soft as Loma Linda Big Franks. Also, they nor real weiners have the savory flavor of Big Franks to me. Some people don't like their veggie dogs soft. For those who want their veggie dog to taste exactly like the real thing, I would reccomend another product from this same company - Morning Star Farms veggie dogs. They're in the frozen breakfast section of your local grocery store. They are firm just like real weiners and they have the exact same taste. However, I prefer Big Franks to both of these veggie dogs.

Vegi-Links are a delicious subtitute for meat hotdogs. They are the best flavored and textured of any products I have used. Grill, fry or microwave, put on a bun with your favorite condiments and you are sure to enjoy. Kids of all ages love them also.

I've been an ethical vegetarian for 35 years, but I still "like" the taste of meat. These hot dogs are the best vegetarian dogs I have tasted - on a warm bun, with good mustard and whatever else - they are delicious!

These were really awful. After reading the great reviews on the worthing vegetarian hot dogs and meat I was real hopeful, but they were just gross. We do love the morning star veggie dogs though. They taste a lot closer to the real thing. These veggie dogs were very mushy and just broke in half when I tried to take them out of the can. Very disappointing. We are a vegetarian family of 6 and no one would eat them.

I was very happy with my product. It was shipped very quickly and packed well. I saved a lot of money on this product too because the canned vegetarian products are only sold at one store within a 40 mile radius of my house and they rape you on the price!! (around 7-8 dollars per can)

We discovered Veja-links while we were doing a 6 weeks camping trip from MI to CA and as many national parks we could hit in that time. V_L saved our dinner problems many times--like when we got into the park after dark and needed to eat and get the tents up. We ate them cold mixed with vegetarian beans (no pork). They are a great quickie meal when we are doing a 70 hour work week, great on a bun with sourkraut, or toppings and pickles, or just the kiddie standard of ketchup. Grilled in the summer is good too for a different taste. We buy by the case, they don't last long around here. Enjoy!

Veja-Links are a soy "hot dog" that is a nice alternative to the real thing. I really like to use them to make a spread. Boiled eggs, onion, relish and ground up Veja-links makes a good sandwich spread. You can grill them or make pigs-in-a-blanket just like you would with real hot dogs. The one thing that is different is no animal "by products" whatever that means.

Veja-Links are great as are most of the Worthington products. There was a time when it was difficult to find these products but then Kellogg bought the company along with Morningstar Farms and the products were available. Then Amazon started selling them but something happened.

Although Amazon lists 20 Worthington brands, at present they offer only two. You might want to search for 7th Day Adventist bookstores which also sell Worthington.

Our family loves all of the Worthington/Loma Linda products, but I was concerned about meatless hot dogs since I think most of them remind me of Play Doh. Fortunately, the Veja Links are very tasty and they are nice and firm like real hot dogs. Buying these cases from Amazon Grocery is a nice deal, too. I hope they continue to carry them!
