Tofurky Vegetarian Feast Video Review (Ep261)

22 Nov, 2009

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master

In the grand tradition of Thanksgiving episodes here at Freezerburns, the Frozen Food Master has taken on a new challenge. Last year it was a 4-way turkey dinner frodown. This year, it is a Tofurky Vegetarian Feast weighing in at over 3lbs of food.

Will the Frozen Food Master’s stomach grant access to this faux meat? And will it be able to withstand over 3lbs of food in its belly? Watch this special Thanksgiving episode of Freezerburns to find out!

hahaha that was a riot. I could just tell the frustration that you had in your eyes when you gave in. I don't blame you; I would've done the same. Funny episode Greg.

I suppose I ought to register with Disqus now then, since there seemed to be a problem with their accepting my comments (possibly because of my AOL address? Or maybe just because I was posting as a guest?)… at any rate, hopefully you won't have to manually approve my comments every single time now.

Hi Greg! I have actually eaten this many times for Thanksgiving and I agree…. there is room for improvement. It's okay when paired with all the other wonderful sides that everyone in the family makes and fresh baked bread. Alone……yeah it would be kind of a sad meal if that is all you had. The company that makes this does well (I think) with their fake sandwich “meats”. The peppered turkey slices are really good. We use them to make an excellent veggie Reuben. Well I guess after my wonderful boyfriend who once upon a time got a degree from the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) doctors the slices up in some kind of veg Au Jus so they're “suitable” in his opinion. They're way better than what they put in this tofurkey loaf with stuffing. The other items (dumplings and things) I honestly don't remember eating them. Maybe we never made them. Gotta save room for pie. Awesome that you are reviewing this. Thanks and Happy Holidays to you and Mrs. FFM

Why are you such a pussy? Stop spitting out the food and swallow it like a man.

I've been a vegetarian for 17 years and I have to agree…. that Tofurky feast is the NASTIEST thing ever!!! I'm not a foodie by any means, but there's way better vegetarian stuff out there and what you just ate there, my friend, is just plain gross.
Jake

That tofurkey looks like you're eating a giant potato.

This has to be the *funniest* food review I have *ever* seen. I like to partake of veggie fare every once in a while, but I thought I was going to fall off my chair when I heard your stomach gurgle on the mike. I laughed out loud (even though the wife looked at me funny).

You, sir, are a brave man.

*bleh* it looks like foam, with a dog toy in the middel
zeldachan

u look so miserable. i feel so bad 4 u.

Tofurky is pretty awful. For the vegans, if they can find it, Field Roast is better. And it doesn't try to be fake meat.
Earthbound_X

I loved the ending.

I had a feeling you'd do that, haha.
Brandonmacjaws

LMAO!! “There's some crazy whack flavor going on here”
Lorienleigh

I've been a vegetarian/vegan for over 4 years and I absolutely hate Tofurky. Give Field Roast a shot- the quality is much better and it's more reasonably priced to boot!
brian

hey, I can probably eat the whole thing, or get REALLY full and stop eating, maybe its because I have an iron stomach. but I may try this though, eat an entire tofurky feast. hehehehe
Fred Russo

I could not stop laughing watching that video.The facial expressions alone were priceless.It reminded me of when I was a little kid and I was told if I didn't eat my dinner which was liver,I couldn't have ice cream later for dessert.All I could think about was the painful chewing and swallowing I went through with that liver.
brownsugar

I wish you'd made this video several years ago so I could have been spared the expense to my wallet, taste buds, and stomach from that Tofurky. I don't know how my fellow vegs eat those things year after year. A happy holiday it was not. The next year I made my own veggie pot pie filling and put it into frozen pie shells from Whole Foods. It was worth the effort, edible, and I didn't end up with horrible stomach cramps.

I can't even imagine the nastiness of those dumplings!

The wishstix are probably referring to the tradition of taking the turkey’s wish bone and two people pulling on it and the person that gets the bigger bit of the bone gets to make a wish.

I realize the entire concept of that is silly but the idea is the same as wishing on your birthday candles.
Melodia

Its meant to replace a turkey, thus you obviously have to baste it! In addition, of course it is going to take a long time if you don’t defrost it. (like a turkey) A tonne of people like it, you clearly weren’t interested in liking it before the review, thus it is biased. P.s. sweet and salty is common in stuffing.

P.s. you are NOT a carnivore, that is a retarded statement.

Crappiest review ever.
Veggielover

Melodia please get the stick out your butt. I have been a vegetarian for many years and it’s a fact that the Tofurky Feat is crap. Quorn is much better. Unless you work for Tofurky get over yourself.
Bnmiller83

OMG!!! Homie you were strugglin’!!!…lol. Sorry you had to go thru that! Carnivores don’t to vegan…lol.
cntbleafiwatchedthis!

spitting and gagging after every bite? really?

what a drama queen.

Man, i’ll take your word for this meal, and as a vegetarian of 3 years, I say it’s a shame that a crappy product like this is out there to represent us vegetarians. There’s great vegetarian and vegan cuisine out there! And $25, wow.

I prepared it exactly how it said on the box.

The directions did not say to fry them.

ps you should just have to try it, it shouldn’t be a 3-pounds-of-sub-par-vegan-food, man-vs.-food-style review!
