I like gardein supreme burgers and a few other of their frozen offerings. I'll have to check out their veggie crumbles then. Thanks!

When they say "baseball cap" I think they mean "golf cap"

It is! I would use if for my spaghetti sauce or to in soft tacos. I'll have to keep experimenting with other brands/types.

I tried Lightlife (USA) sorry but it sucks. Although their veggie dogs aren't bad. Looking for a Canadian alternative to Yves veggie products #SOS

Man, I miss Yves Veggie crumble so much :(
