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

I don't understand all the 5 star reviews here. I am a very health conscious eater, and I usually like meat alternatives. In fact, I usually like health foods that others find disgusting. However, this product has a ridiculously grainy texture and little flavor. More importantly, it's not remotely healthy! It is made primarily with wheat gluten, which is not exactly a health product and has little nutritional value. The amount of controversial food colorings, preservatives and corn syrup in this product are also disgusting.

I used to be a strict vegan (for three years) and a vegetarian (for 13 years), but I've come to realize that eating products like natural, organic turkey dogs are a much better choice than eating wheat gluten and soy protein concentrate products. This product is a great example of vegan not necessarily meaning healthy. I got a package of Linkettes at a big discount, and I would have been really upset if I had paid full price. At least they last for years, so I'll use the rest as my emergency food stash.

Linketts are a good source of protein, although some say they have to much sodium. They taste good hot or cold (don't expect it to taste like a meat hot dog). Buying through Amazon is less expensive than the stores.

They are vegan, they taste like the meat hot dogs I used to eat before I went vegetarian, and they are pre-cooked so you can eat them right from the can for quick protein. They have a nice texture and taste, and are packed in liquid, which I drain off and then save them in plastic bags in the fridge or freezer. They freeze and thaw in the fridge with no problem.

Over the years we've tried many different types and brands of vegetarian "hot dogs", and this is THE BEST. For a time when we couldn't find Linketts we bought some other brands; they were okay, but JUST okay; better than nothing, but not really what we wanted. Since we have Linketts again we haven't touched the others. It's no wonder these keep going out of stock; they are wonderful. When I first saw "Linkies" as we call them many years ago I refused to try them because they looked too much like meat. I'm glad I got over that because I'd have missed these vegan treats all these years.

These are the best veggie dogs around. There are 10 linketts in a can and everytime I open a can I fight myself to not eat all of them in a single day.
However if you are not a vegetarian/vegan yet, don't start buying a whole pack even though they are much cheaper at amazon.com.
Buy a single can (they have it at Walmart, or you can ask at a Seventh Day Adventist Church, they'll know where to find a store around) and don't give up if you find it doens't taste like the traditional dog, because these don't have meat in it.
But if you are veggie lover, you'll notice Linketts Loma Linda are # 1.
