Repulsive Replacement Product

Grapeseed Mayo Replacement

Ok THIS is a Problem!  

I'm starting to see a few trends in the "Healthfood"  that is generally available. 1- The amount of Soy. I worry that I am over consuming the soy that is hidden in most "healthfood" options. I know that soy has a similarity to estrogen and gives some of the negative effects such as holding fats.
2- Also concerning is the frequency in which the food is modified and altered. Hydrogenated oils in every meal just screams DANGER!

Some of the replacements have been alright. Some are just nasty. I've decided to start being more selective with my choices. I don't want overly modified replacements. This is contradicting my cause of getting rid of the things I'm becoming sensitive too.  I've decided this because of the replacement items I tried today.  I sampled them in the car and had to chase it with some salad to get the funk out of my mouth.
Let's start with the Mayo Replacement.  I was hopeful. I liked mayo and this seemed like a great idea. Grapeseed oil is good for you, it's all natural, and made in a green facility. It seemed too good to be true and that's because it IS.
I removed the safety wrapping and opened it up. Smells like mayo. I tried to dip a finger in to get a little taste. This is where I knew my selection was not ideal.  The velocity of my finger stopped as it hit the product and I couldn't scoop any up due to it's thickness. It was harder than I anticipated.  Similar to butter after it's been in the fridge. The taste is something that is almost indistinguishable. Bad. Bad. Bad. Some kind of dirty taste. Maybe like fake old eggs that are slightly moldy. Terrible.

Next is "cheese".

Soy slices actually. Flavored like .. what they call cheese. I should have known as soon as I opened the package not to even try it. The smell was unattractive. The consistency seemed spot-on. This had a similar taste to the mayo, only more gritty like it had been dried out and dropped in sand. VILE!  Not even burnt. EWWW.

This has turned me off to trying wild items. I just want something I know is good.

I will cook foods I'm familiar with for now.

Seasoned hamburger over lettuce with cooked onion and ketchup. The side is a corn noodle in guacamole with cucumber.  It's my version of a pasta salad. Sounds strange but amazingly tasty!

This is where it's at. Making a replacement for pasta salad wasn't that difficult either. This is just one of many new recipes I will be adding to my allergy cookbook. Yay! Easy and Yummy.
