I am a vegan and I seriously love sporked! Thank you so much for doing this!!!! I appreciate that you guys think of vegans and you take tasting the food seriously.
Just for those curious, George Zimmer (the Men’s Wearhouse Guy) was the head of the company until 2011 and then abruptly was terminated in 2013 from the company over a disagreement with the board of directors about the future of the company. It sounds like it was a messy separation. He now runs two other tailoring on demand services. He is 76.
i always appreciate jordan's feelings on vegetarian/vegan foods as someone who also grew up as a vegetarian because i really don't like fake meat that tries to taste like meat and jordan really understands that
Yayyyy Also - That Marie Callender's Dutch Apple pie y'all had on a previous taste test is also vegan! 🎉(and probably more affordable than some other options)
I love Amy's vegan mac and cheese, it gives me Stouffer's mac and cheese vibes! I've never tried the Chao and now I need to because you all three loves it and hated the Amy's!!🤣🤣
Same!! I’ve been a vegan for a decade and loved Amy’s Mac and cheese very early on into this journey and still do, but only have it occasionally now as a treat lol. I think I tried one of the older versions of the Chao Mac years ago and wasn’t as much of a fan. I’ll have to try it again.
You should try the Aldis hawaiian stuffing and brioche stuffing. It's vegetarian (not sure about vegan but I think so?) and DELICIOUS! They only bring it in around this time of the year so I buy a whole bunch so I can have it throughout the year. I love stuffing.
I have a huge aversion to meat and am lacking in protein. I'm going to look for several of these items. Thank you so much!! You gals have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
I have to chime in with a couple of recommendations that Sporked missed! Stovetop "for pork" flavor is vegan and delicious! Also the Gardein turk'y products, especially the stuffed loaves (both the mini and the large size) are perfect since Gwynedd is right, Tofurky loaf kind of sucks (but the slices are good). As for gravy, Mayacamas has a vegan Turkey gravy packet that is super easy to make, even though homemade gravy with better than bouillon is almost just as easy as packet gravy. Also, I was hoping Sporked would have tried the heat and eat plant-based mac and cheese from Target and Walmart/bettergoods.
I’m not vegan but am vegetarian. I guess I never thought about needing vegan potatoes because potatoes are already vegan and can just be mashed with nut milks I eat Field Roast celebration roast for Thanksgiving. I use Roads End vegan mushroom gravy mix. Amy’s vegan mac n cheese is delicious. I think all Amy’s stuff is good, though. I have made an apple crumble using Miyokos instead of butter in the crumb part and it was just fine.
There are a bunch of reasons why someone might use instant mashed potatoes! Not everyone has the time to cook mashed potatoes. Some people lack the physical ability to literally mash the potatoes. Also, not everyone owns a stove! Homemade mashed potatoes are GREAT but instant mashed potatoes are really affordable, accessible, and tasty if you need them.
Thank you; am in senior living facility, now; and don’t have a proper stove in my small apartment. Only room for microwave; so need these kinds of tips, this new chapter in life…
Pure magic 🌈 thank you SO much for doing this!!!! Us vegans love you to the moon and back for this content 😍 Would it be possible to do a vegan frozen boxed meals taste test? That would be badass 😎❤
I’ve been disappointed by the other gmm vegan episodes where they just make the worst vegan food ever that no vegan eats then laugh at how bad it is so this is a nice change.
I HAD VEGAN WONTON, RICE NOODLE IN UNSALTED KITHCHEN BASIC VEGETABLE BROTH, PAN FRIED DARING vegan nugget, boil watercrest, daiya new york cheese cake, nice honey dew as my thankgiving food.
Great video! I'm always a fan of vegan options. Also, is it weird that I know about Bob Moore and George Zimmer. Bob Moore left Bob's Red Mill to the employees instead of selling out to larger companies. It's 100% employee-owned now. George Zimmer, founder of Men's Wearhouse, was fired by the board of directors for weird business shenanigans that are beyond me.
What fun watching you 3. I'm not vegan, the only thing I would try is the Idaho instant mashed potatoes. I use the regular Idaho imaged potatoes. I think you can make the unvegan mashed potatoes vegan. .Happy Thanksgiving Ladies.
The idahoan mashed potatoes are LIT. And i really like the Daiya boxed mac and cheese too. Amys was great back in the day when there were no other options... (Been meat & dairy free for almost 20 years) but they've kinda stagnated
I was not expecting to see a 'I beat Carlo' t-shirt. I completely forgot that was a thing from my time growing up in Western Massachusetts. Carlo Imelio was the Patriots beat writer for the newspaper in Springfield. He recently passed away. He was a funny guy and notoriously wrong with his predictions.
5:05 George Zimmer (The Men's Warehouse guy) was fired in 2013 after stepping down as CEO but still trying to exert the power of that position. He is still alive and founded a new company called Generation Tux.
Are American potatoes different in a way that would make people buy potato flakes? I am not sure if I ever seen such a product here in the Dutch supermarket and potato cooking for a mash is rather simple. Edit while writing, according to the websites the supermarkets do have it. So I will have to do a taste test.
Potato flakes are used for all kinds of different recipes. It's often used as a thickening agent. It's also a good way to preserve potatoes to last longer like dried lentils or flour. There are also elderly and handicapped people who physically can't mash potatoes. This is way for them to still get to eat mashed potatos.
@@katgirl476I will be testing it, I will include a recipe that mainly uses it as a thickening agent. I wrongly assumed it would require a lot of stirring, but yeh it’s fast, easy & I guess relatively hard to mess up.
My friend is vegetarian (not vegan) and hates when her relatives or friends make her special foods… she prefers to just eat all the side dishes… she eats dairy and eggs, just no meat so there are plenty of things she can eat… truly, I can make a meal out of the sides too… 🥰
Honestly idahoan potatoes has a plain instant. I would buy that over the "trendy" dairy free flavored potatoes. I use marmite over nutritional yeast for savory sauces. 😊
The toque shadow on the backwall looks like the silhouette of a cat looking out the window. 😅 i was watching it, hoping the camera would pan to the otherside of the room so i could see the cat. Lol
Ya gotta love a video when its very last line of dialogue is, “I’m gonna put my breasts in this cheesecake if I’m not careful.” lol Thanks for another banger, y’all!! 💜
How many here,Don’t like potato’s ? I can’t stomach the look of mashed potatoes. I haven’t eaten a French fry 🍟 since I was 5 . But, I love sweet potatoes, mashed and fried
She did haha. I had a chuckle at that as well. I guess they didn't have any vegan butter in the kitchen that day, but it is a little silly to have a non-vegan dish as the very first "vegan" item. Especially when potatoes themselves are obviously vegan haha
I know these aren't getting toms of views, but surely there's enough budget to get them $15 lav mics that plug into their phones. It would be 10x better than whatever the audio solution is now. As it is, their voices combined with the reverb of the room is extremely fatiguing to listen to.
as a vegan who is also a huge Sporked fan, THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!
💋

I was going to look him up to do a more in-depth search on him. You saved me the trouble thanks .
Came here to say this.

Gwynedd’s hair looks exceptionally gorgeous today
Totally agree. I kept staring at it as she was explaining everything. 😆
Totally!!
she is just gorgeous period.
It really is looking exceptionally nice. Makes me want her hair secrets.
YESSSS THANK YOU!!! I was hoping you guys would taste test vegan food! Yay!!🎉
Love you!
I’m not vegan but I am allergic to dairy so I tend to look for vegan products. Thanks for including us in these taste tests 😊
Yayyyy
Also - That Marie Callender's Dutch Apple pie y'all had on a previous taste test is also vegan! 🎉(and probably more affordable than some other options)
WHAT
Yep! I have one in my freezer for Thanksgiving right now 😊
Marie Callender has started making vegan pot pie now too. Haven't tried it yet but I'm intrigued by it.
@@katgirl476 From what I've seen, the pot pies they make using gardein products are vegetarian but not vegan :(
Slap "Shut up my mom makes a lasgana" on a shirt. 😂
Can I just say the friendship between you guys is so pure and makes me smile. Thanks Sporked crew :)
I love Amy's vegan mac and cheese, it gives me Stouffer's mac and cheese vibes! I've never tried the Chao and now I need to because you all three loves it and hated the Amy's!!🤣🤣
Nah I was vegan for 6 years and the Amy’s vegan mac is inedible 😂 my boyfriend really liked it though I never understood
I'm a fan too. I think we are the only ones...
The Chao is better but Amy's has some fabulous options! Personally I love the Amy's vegan ravioli.
I'm a fan of the mac and cheeze too 😅 i *always* doctor it up with seasonings and hot sauce but I've eaten so many boxes of that stuff. i love it 🫶
Same!! I’ve been a vegan for a decade and loved Amy’s Mac and cheese very early on into this journey and still do, but only have it occasionally now as a treat lol. I think I tried one of the older versions of the Chao Mac years ago and wasn’t as much of a fan. I’ll have to try it again.
best sporked video ever
Yay!!!! Thank you for Thanksgibbins vegan alternatives to my go to guac and chips. 🥰
I looove Chao but have always slept on the frozen mac. Definitely have to try it now!
Three awesome brains in wonderful ladies bodies making content for us all. I love this trio for sure!

Vegans celebrating everywhere today 🎉🎉 thank you!!

the Gardein loaf is my favorite and the gardein turkey cutlets are great

Also, I was hoping Sporked would have tried the heat and eat plant-based mac and cheese from Target and Walmart/bettergoods.
We also have full ranking lists of these product types (including loaves!) on our site!
@sporked I went! I read! I'm overjoyed that Gwynedd actually did rank the Gardein loaf as #1! 🎉🎉🎉
I bought the Idahoan packs at Kroger. My son has food allergies.

Yes! Miyokos vegan butter is so good; better than most ‘real’ butter! Delish

My three favorite humans ❤ happy fake turkey day!
The sound is good today :) sporked finally got some lapel mics 😊
TJ’s definitely used to sell a vegan mushroom gravy on its own, and it was BOMB. It’s the only gravy I’ve ever loved, vegan or otherwise.
I’ve been disappointed by the other gmm vegan episodes where they just make the worst vegan food ever that no vegan eats then laugh at how bad it is so this is a nice change.

i just recently started watching the sported videos and honestly i love them please continue doing this!
Thank you for this!!! It’s so expensive to try these foods out and end up hating it!!!!
Great trio!! Gwynedd...the hair!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Awesome vegan stuff! Thanks for sharing.
IT'S ABOUT TIME 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I'm making the Trader Joes holiday roast this year!
I need you to know you influenced me all the way in Costa Rica! Just returned from the supermarket with a pack of the Idahoan mashed potatoes
Love yall ❤❤❤ I want vegan gravy now hahaha
Thank you from yet another vegan sporked fan :)
Instant mashed potatoes (with cheese, garlic, or just pepper) is my comfort food!
I think I've been vegan for too long because I really like the Amy's mac and cheese! :)
Yay vegan!!!! Now fingers crossed for open minds…especially packaged foods.

The Men's Warehouse guy basically got fired by the board of directors. Even though he owned a bunch of the company.
Thanks for this awesome video. Also most vegans call nutritional yeast ‘nooch’ but I call it magical fairy dust 😃

There's a tofurky plant based gravy I wish yall tried 😢
Did Jordan just reference scrapple??
Jordan are you an original east coaster??? Philly area?
Louisiana
Unrelated but Lindt chili dark chocolate bar. Its sooo good

Put apple sauce in your stuffing it makes it super moist ❤❤❤

Honestly idahoan potatoes has a plain instant. I would buy that over the "trendy" dairy free flavored potatoes.
I use marmite over nutritional yeast for savory sauces. 😊
4:37 i got the Men’s Wearhouse reference
I think the main takeaway from this is that Jordan really liked the Mac and cheese.
Gwynedd a top?! Honestly not surprised 😂😂😂
‘Yeast gravy’
‘that’s what all the generation tux kids call each other’
-Gwynedd
😂😂😂
I love you three...❤
I was so excited to try the Sprouts Cornbread Stuffing but I guess lots of Sporked fans were as well, because it’s sold out! 😢
Is it just me or is the word "beef" edited into this video a few times? Twice right around 18:30. Are they covering burps? Did I miss something?
The triple threat. Sweet!
The Men's Warehouse guy's name is George Zimmer & he is still alive & kickin.
V-gang 🌿
why the mens warehouse guy slander lol
Can you think of anything more opposite from the point of view of vegan lesbian?
@@PaleHorseO.o why does being a lesbian mean you dislike anything about a man? lol I am straight but love all the content from Jordan shes awesome.
ahh thank you

What a great video
Can we get some yeast gravy merch for Christmas?
Nothing says holiday season like something that sounds like a by-product of an infection.
Hell yeah!
Also Happy Tofurky Day!
Happy turkey day y’all.
Why instant mashed potatoes?
Why not?
😍😍😍
They changed the frozen Amys mac and cheese 😭 it used to be so much better! I'm still mad about it
How many here,Don’t like potato’s ? I can’t stomach the look of mashed potatoes. I haven’t eaten a French fry 🍟 since I was 5 . But, I love sweet potatoes, mashed and fried
Spent a good 30 seconds trying to wipe the dot on the wall off my screen
25:46 lol
Wait, did she say she used regular butter for the mashed taters or am I mishearing? lol
She did haha. I had a chuckle at that as well. I guess they didn't have any vegan butter in the kitchen that day, but it is a little silly to have a non-vegan dish as the very first "vegan" item. Especially when potatoes themselves are obviously vegan haha
this made me Google “i beat Carlo”
❤️👍
RIP Bob…he made it too 94
Ladies, what happens to the left overs?
I used to loooove the Amy’s Mac and cheez with rice noodles until they changed the recipe. It’s grossNow 💔
First ❤
Welcome!!!
You should probably have a set by now, no? seems weird.
Ask Trevor how to pronounce that
Now check your blood glucose levels
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I guarantee it got pot legalized, so he's peaced out.
Daiya has really good Mac and cheese
Come on let’s go, 🙄
