I went to a hy-vee here before Thanksgiving and found fat free dried smoked tofu, 14 oz for $1.88. I ate some right out of the wrapper (it looked like a moister style jerky), it was tastey and then I used it in the black-eyed pea chili. I went back to get more yesterday and they were sold out, but they had a package of what looks like a soy chicken breast and a vegan lamb.
I looked at the package and these have soy oil added (darn!), so not fat free. Anyone ever used these before? I'd like to do something with them so that the fat that is in them becomes alot less per serving.

You know, Dori, someone here, I remember mentioned they found a good vegan lamb somewhere...
Anyway, I always hated lamb -- gave me the willies! But now that I'm pursuing an Iraqi menu, I just may look for it.
where did you find it (what's hy-vee?)? And do you remember the brand name?
I think I may look at an Asian market or maybe the 99 Ranch Markets around here -- they seem to have lots of stuff!
Sorry I'm not much help.

Yes, the vegetarian lamb is sold in 99 Ranch Market. The brand is KIMBO. It is stored in the refridgerated section near fresh tofu and fresh noodles.

Hy-Vee is a grocery store chain in the midwest US. I don't think they have stores outside a 5 state area.
It was totally a chance find at this store. It is an asian brand name (like only an asian store would carry), but this happened to be in the front of the store with the deli sandwiches and the pre-maide, uncooked pizza.
I saw the Iraqi beet recipe too and thought that would be a good one to use my veggie lamb with, but I cannot find pomegranate syrup. I did find pom (name brand) juice though - I may have to use it with that. Bryanna gave a suggestion last year when I first tried the Iraqi beet soup that pomegranate syrup might be like a light molasses with lemon juice to make it tart. I made it with those substitutions and really liked it, but I still would like to try the pomegranate syrup.
Anyone seen any good websites that sell the syrup (within the continental US)?
