We actually bought a different brand of CRUMBLES and are going to try them in something that's less "meat" focused, like chili. It's getting cool enough that that sounds more appealing. <br /><br />Sorry to hear about the raw broccoli. It does seem as if you're being punished for being "good." Can you still eat fruit? Are you eating meat again? Diets are delightful...Ms. CrankyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13639705108258882767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-63866515912595896822013-10-06T18:23:40.019-04:002013-10-06T18:23:40.019-04:00I have a gag reflex that reacts to tofu in any for...I have a gag reflex that reacts to tofu in any form. I'm serious. Not joking one bit.<br /><br />When I was a rabid vegetarian, I had no problem trying to find a beef substitute because it never entered my mind that I wanted meat.<br /><br />When raw broccoli put me in the hospital with crowns disease, I was thrown into the opposite food direction: NO MORE VEGGIES. My life has always been a system of "eat the right thing and suffer because of it"lotta joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-2355699945586188812013-10-03T06:39:49.723-04:002013-10-03T06:39:49.723-04:00Thanks!

Surprisingly, the only place I could find them was Wal-Mart. Yes, WAL-Mart. She liked them just fine in spaghetti sauce & chili. Maybe it helped that she never had to deal with it raw, look at it, handle it etc...but only saw it in the mixed-in-with other ingredients stage. I might add she was also tremendously fond of bean burgers from Wegman's. Perhaps you should try them. She is certainly not my daughter when it comes to taste buds, is she!?
