Loma Linda Big Franks, 20-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

With four boys and a husband who are all carnivores, I don't have much of a chance! Raised a vegetarian, I now know how to cook meat and will eat some select items, however, I just can't handle eating meat hot dogs. Just not knowing what is in them is very disturbing to me! Well, we finally found a hot dog that the whole family LOVES! Yes, loves! Even my husband will eat these! I feel so much better about feeding these to my family instead of the "who knows what is ground up in here" kind!! Thanks Loma Linda! (by the way, my youngest and I love to eat them right out of the can...no bun, no heating...just some mustard to dip it in!)

I purchased these BIG FRANKS after reading the positive reviews and after enjoying other LOMA LINDA products. I have NO idea what the 5-star reviewers ate because I could barely stomach these pseudo-food products. I'm not sure what to do with the remaining cans because relish, catsup, onions, mustard and tons of other toppings failed to camouflage the rubbery off-taste of these "franks." My conclusion is that I think I'll eat all the condiments and dispense with this red-grey monstrosity.

UPDATE: After reading responses to my review, I realize that the way to appreciate these franks is to eat them during childhood WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER (sorry... just kidding... I couldn't resist). Okay... If you don't acquire a taste for these during your imprintable years, be cautious about buying them now. You've been warned. GOOD LUCK.

These are my least favorite of the Loma Linda products. Unfortunately, the texture is a bit like modeling clay and the taste is unappealing to me.

I love them! My whole family does! I have been eating them since I was young. The are so wonderful and such a great source of protein. I am so happy Amazon has them. Please keep them.. they are hard to find! Try these.. you will be very satisfied.

Soy-based "meat" products can often be a hit or miss affair, but my family has consistently found the LL Big Franks product to be on the tasier side of the spectrum (even through several manufacturer recipie modifications). If you are looking for hot dogs for grilling, however, try the frozen Morningstar Veggie Dog product -- for our taste, Big Franks are much better at room temperature. Price-wise, buying through Amazon is less expensive than at our local health food shop -- not even factoring in the free shipping vs. gas used to physically go to the store.
