gardein Crabless Cakes

I am a big fan of gardein products. They're so innovative, creative, and generally quite delicious. I was quite excited to try these crabless cakes when I first spotted them at the grocery store.

This is a unique situation because I had never tasted a crab cake before going vegetarian so I knew I would not be able to compare. With that being said, I know good flavour so I was excited nonetheless.

They can be pan fried or broiled and I chose to broil them because I had the oven running already. I loved how quickly they were cooked and nice and crispy on the outside. They had a beautiful, flaky center that was quite lovely and unlike other veggie meat foods I had tried.

The only thing I can say I wasn't entirely keen on was the smell. I really was not a big seafood person in my MED (Meat Eating Days) so the smell was a turn off for me but for someone who loved seafood, they would appreciate the smell and similarity. Not so much a con, more of a personal preference.

Overall, I definitely suggest picking them up if you were a seafood lover. They were so simple to prepare, nice and crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, packed with protein, and just plain tasty!
