The corn is there. The dog is almost there. This dog will hunt.
I’m always on the lookout for a veggie meat substitute. More specifically, I’m always looking for a good veggie meat substitute. The best I’ve found so far is Trader Joe’s Soy Chorizo. These veggie corn dogs aren’t quite up to that standard. But still, they’re pretty good. What’s better than that is, they’re pretty good veggie “junk” food.
The texture of the dog is just about right. Even the color is about right. The taste is more of a neutral taste than a real hot dog. The fatty moisture from a real hot dog is obviously missing. However as long as it’s not overcooked, the dog remains fairly moist. Watch the time in the microwave, just a little too much time (even just 10 or 15 seconds) dries out both the dog and the corn.
Overall, just like a real corn dog, the corn bread makes up around half of the taste and texture. The veggie dog in the center adds some flavor and texture, but more importantly does not take much away in the form of negatives.
These are slightly smaller than a standard corn dog and missing the animal fat, so the calories are lower. Unfortunately, the sodium content is relatively high just like a real corn dog. They’re labelled as meatless and veggie, but not vegetarian. So check the ingredient label to make sure this conforms to your personal vegetarian standards.
