Fake Chicken salad: not identical ... but OK!

Here's my update to my last post on Whole Foods Vegan "Chick'n" salad:

It's make with these soy-based vegan-approved strips. I don't see how anybody thought it was identical to the real chicken version. For one thing it's much less dense. The carton of the actual stuff I get at Whole Food's is only 1/2 full for 1/2 pound (my limit so I don't eat until I burst!), but I asked for a pound of the vegan version and a carton full to overflowing of the vegan stuff was only 0.88 lb.

But: it tasted like chicken and tasted OK, to my omnivore's tastebuds. I won't go out of my way to get the vegan version in the future, but if served this I would absolutely not feel deprived.
