Do you like mock meats? I used to eat all sorts of them, but these days there is only one brand of vegan meatstuff that does it for me: Field Roast!
Perfection! Thanks, Maggie!

Mustard penmanship. Nailed it.
This post is all about their Frankfurters, which are the BOMB! Their sausages and roasts are awesome too, but the Franks kick any other vegan hot dog's butt. They are chewy, thick, tasty, and soy-free! They are such a treat! Whenever we take a trip down to Whole Foods we grab a pack, and it's hard not to eat frankfurters for lunch and dinner for three days straight until the whole pack of six is gone. But they do freeze well, if you do happen to be a more demure eater.
Mr. Wing-It loves them too, and his favorite way to enjoy these Frankfurters is Chili Dog style. Mr. Wing-It is no ordinary man, and he eats no ordinary chili dog. His chili dogs consist of a bottom layer of chili, a hot dog bun filled with more chili, then hot dog on top, then more chili on top, and then melted rice cheese.
They make nice little hot dog bites too! Perfect for a fun party. Unfortunately the following picture was taken at a sad party of one: me. 'Tis the way of the antisocial introvert.
Those buns, you ask? If you read my blog during Vegan MoFo last year, you might have guessed that the recipe I used is Maggie's Homemade Newfoundland White Bread! So light and fluffy and perfect! It is the only recipe for white bread I will ever need. The recipe yields twelve hot dogs, in case you were wondering. I just divided the dough into twelve pieces (after the first rise) and shaped each piece into a log. I placed them on a baking pan fairly closed together so they would stick together as they rose. They baked for about 18 minutes at 425 degrees F, and I brushed a bit of Earth Balance on top as soon as they came out of the oven, which kept them nice and soft. Let's watch me pull them apart...
Perfection! Thanks, Maggie!
I cannot recommend these Frankfurters enough! If you haven't tried them yet, and you live somewhere where you can get a hold of them, definitely check them out! My condolences if you have a gluten intolerance :(
Today's daily dose of cute is...
Agreed! These frankfurters are the best. No other veggie dog compares. I loooove Mr. Wing-It's chili dog stylings! That's my kind of chili dog for sure. I usually just pour chili over it generously, but I like his multi-layered approach.
ReplyDeleteThe frankfurters are about $7 at our Co-op, and so I don't buy them very often. However, whenever we serve them at cookouts, they're always a big hit!
It's sort of like a chili dog casserole, isn't it? He's a man of many layers! :D
DeleteYep, they're certainly not cheap. If they were I would probably eat them way too often!
holy shit yeah, look at that chilli dog!! Gimme.
ReplyDeleteI think Jojo bought some field roast sausages back from one of her trips to the US and we barbecued them on my birthday last year. And they were damn good. I don't think they were frankfurters but Jojo might correct me on that!
The sausages are awesome too! The Smoked Apple Sage Sausage is soooo yummy!
DeleteI love Field Roast, but can you believe I've never tried the Frankfurters???? I know! Not sure what I'm waiting for.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Mr. Wing It is a genius cause that chili dog looks damn perfect.
Oh, you must! They really are the BOMB diggity bomb bomb!
DeleteI'll tell Mr. Wing-It you said that. He thinks YOU are a genius because you created the best BBQ sauce ever. No joke!
Darn gluten — it's such a bother. The field roast factory isn't that far from my house — in fact, we passed it the other day on our way to a dinner/talk. And I've eaten field roast sliders at Seattle Vegfest. My husband loves the hotdogs and sausages, and I believe there is a package in our refrigerator as I type — sometimes when I wake up in the morning I can smell one cooking. Oh well. I think you're right. Field Roast is the best vegan meat.
ReplyDeleteOh, how torturous it must be to smell a Field Roast cooking in the morning when you can't have it! :(
DeleteI'm probably never going to get to eat these, being in the uk, but I just wanted to say what beautiful penmanship you have.
ReplyDeleteMaybe some day they will offer their products in the UK! Fingers crossed! I'm sure there would be plenty of demand, if they could figure out the logistics and whatnot.
DeleteHow kind of you to compliment my mustardy penmanship. Thank you! :D
p.s. Nice mustard writing. You should send the photo to Field Roast!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I tweeted them the link to this post, so maybe they will see it.
DeleteI just found out you're BAAAAACK courtesy of Pinterest! Yay!!! Now I have 10 days of River MoFo posts to go through already--wahoo!! So glad you're giving it a go again this year, River. I was just admiring my adorable little Mr. Turkey as we approach Canadian Thanksgiving, in fact! :D Welcome back and can't wait to see what else you cook up over the next 20 days!
ReplyDeleteHi Ricki!! Yep, I almost didn't play this year but it's MoFo, so I made myself find the energy for it!
DeleteAww, Mr. Turkey! How's he doing? Is he behaving himself? Hopefully he's not teasing the girls? :)
I am not even a vegetarian, and I love these Field Roast Frankfurters!
DeleteBeing that I live on a fixed income, I must wait until 11-3 before I get my check, but maybe I will have some extra money to buy a couple packs these wonderful treats. :)
yes! Those little devils are THE BEST!! I am totally in love with them. I like all the Field Roast products, but I must say - these are my tops. I love your fancy mustard writing - very well done! And, also, I am totally impressed with your homemade buns. Taking veggie dogs to the next level, River!! :)
ReplyDeleteField Roast Frankfurters lovers of the world unite! They really are the best!
DeleteThe homemade buns are amazing! Truly exceptional. It's hard to find good fluffy vegan hot dog and burger buns, so I'm glad I have Maggie's recipe to rely on.
River, I am really impressed with your mustard writing skills! I have never been a mockmeat fan, but I feel like I might have to give these a try. The too meaty texture just really freaks me out.
ReplyDeleteJust call me Captain Mustard! :D
DeleteThese are very chewy, so maybe they might be too meaty for you? I don't find them meaty in the same way as those Boca and Morning Star Farms patties, but they are super chewy. I hope you love them too if you decide to try them!
Damn dude, you make that bread recipe look better then I ever could! Those buns look amazing.
ReplyDeleteField Roast Frankferters are the best! But the only way to eat them is piled high with sauerkraut, nom!
It's a stellar recipe - it makes itself look good! :D
DeleteWould you think I was weird if I told you I'm not a fan of sauerkraut? Probably.
I have no idea how fieldroasts taste but they sound great!
ReplyDeleteThey are! It's too bad we can't have an international online vegan store where we all could buy vegan food from anywhere in the world (even cold stuff!) without having to get a bank loan to pay for international shipping charges.
DeleteYour mustard penmanship is impressive! I've never had any of the packaged hot dogs because I was diagnosed w/gluten & soy allergies before going vegan. But, I'm on a mission to try to make some soon. Your post just encouraged me along. Those hot dog bites are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you can't eat these yummy franks! You're trying to make gluten-free hot dogs? I want in on that!!

ReplyDeleteYou SO nailed it! That is impressive.
ReplyDeleteMaybe THAT'S my skill! You know how we're all supposed to have something we're really good at? Maybe my think is mustard writing! Surely I can make a profit out of this useful skill...
DeleteI love Field Roast's whole line and love that hot dog bites idea - so cute!
ReplyDeleteEverything they make is awesome!
DeleteI really hope that one day we can get Field Roast here. I should have bought some back with me when I returned from my US holiday.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day! I have always wondered how people transport refrigerated goods from one country to another when they go on vacation.
DeleteThose buns look amazing! I'll have to try some gourmet hot dogs when MoFo is over!
ReplyDeleteI can't recommend this bread enough! Yes to gourmet hot dogs! Sometimes Mr. Wing-It and I make a "hot dog bar" with lots of different toppings and we each get to load our hot dogs with whatever we want :)
DeleteThe Field Roast sausages are a staple in my son's lunch since we decided to adopt a plant strong diet 5 months ago. Just this morning he took the Italian sausage with eggplant on bowtie pasta drizzled with olive oil and dusted with garlic powder. I ever remembered to pack him breath freshening chewing gum for after lunch...because that is important when you are a freshman in high school!
ReplyDeleteYour son's lunch probably puts everybody else's lunch to shame, Tammy! It sounds absolutely delicious! You thought of everything - can't send him to school with vampire-killing breath! :)
DeleteI have been a Field Roast Hot Dog lover for some time I agree best vegan hot dog out there.. Also love the Chao coconut cheese slices (the herb and pepper one) They sell for about $4 I think at Winco.. I never look at the price, just snatch a few packets and throw in my cart each shopping trip LOL...
ReplyDeleteHa! Stick them in the shopping cart and run! :D
DeleteYou have given me Chao envy! I have to pay six bucks for a thing of Chao. Six bucks! I only buy them when they're on sale.
I too, have received no compensation for my endorsement of Field Roast Frankfurters, but I need none to enjoy these awesome treats!
ReplyDeleteBuns aside, I love them straight out of the microwave, after I have heated them a minute and a half! Or browned in a fry pan !
By the way, I very seldom send comments about food.
Hats off to the Field Roast folks! :)
How cool that you love these even though you're not a vegetarian! That should be their slogan "even non-vegetarians love us!"
DeleteThanks for stopping by! I hope you get to buy some of these when you get your check! :)
