I love MATCH® meat products. I was raised vegan and now engaged to a Mexican man. It was quite difficult taking traditional Mexican dishes making them vegan and tasty but match meats does the trick! Our favorite combo is " chipotle pork" meatballs over garlic rice! I wanted to request if there were any coupons available for match meats. If so it would definitely help us buy more to keep on hand! Thanks for your wonderful product! -S. Boone …our guests loved your products. You have a great company and we are thankful for you taking the business risk to start it. We loved the crab cakes...GREAT! -J and N... I tested your product at Whole Foods in Ann Arbor and bought 2 packages right away. Tonight I made the MOST delicious vegan pasta with your "Italian sausage" product!! Even my Fiancee didn't know it wasn't meat. Thank you for making such a delicious, healthy product. -Renee D. After receiving my MATCH® order, I made a vegan lasagna this weekend: totally amazing. The recipe was "winged" by my niece, who also had a MATCH® delivery last week! This product is just amazing. When it's combined in a dish with Daiya cheese, the result is bound to be ecstasy-inducing! If you can possibly come up with a way to have MATCH® stocked in stores, life would be even better. -Julie First, thank you! As a vegan, your products have enabled me to cook "chicken" "beef" and "crab" recipes for my family, and they are quickly becoming converts to plant-based protein! I am consistently impressed by the taste, texture, and quality of your product. My one question is - when do we get MATCH® Turkey :) If you offered a ground turkey, that way I could fashion turkey burgers for the family, or turkey cutlets, or prepare a Turkey-flavored entree around the holidays. Thanks so much, and please keep up the great work! -Rebecca I HAVE BEEN USING MATCH® PRODUCTS FOR A WHILE AND LIKE ALL OF THEM. THE TEXTURE AND TASTE ARE BOTH GREAT. I PURCHASED 10 HOLIDAY ROASTS FROM WHOLE FOODS YESTERDAY JUST TO MAKE SURE I GOT MY FAIR SHARE. I HAVE BEEN A VEGAN FOR MANY YEARS AND THE ONE THING I MISS IS FISH. IS THERE A CHANCE THIS MIGHT BE A FUTURE PRODUCT? -Connie MATCH® is the kind of product that is really going to change the way people eat, and might actually get omnivores to consider a vegan diet. -Quarrygirl Trying to eat a healthy diet, I have a fair amount of experience with the meatless products available from area supermarkets. Perhaps it's needless to say, but what I call the DQ, or "deliciousness quotient", of these products varies widely. Through trial and error, I've found a few products I like and stick with them. I just tried one of your MATCH® burgers as prepared at the Bistro Grill of the new Schnuck's supermarket in Des Peres, Missouri. Plain and simple, I have never had a better meatless burger! Unbelievable that a meatless burger can taste so close to the real thing! -P.W. I had spoken to Allison Burgess, the owner and founder, of the MATCH® about her vision and what MATCH® was all about. She sees it as a way to get meat eaters to eat less meat, thereby saving animals' lives. And if my class is at all typical of most meat eaters, she's got a hit with her product, especially the MATCH® crab. All I did with it was form it into patties, sprinkled with a bit of Old Bay seasoning, and pan saute them in a bit of pure olive oil. I hope that Allison is successful in her quest because it will help people with their health, and benefit the planet. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, eating this kind of "crab" won't make you crabby. -The Veggie Queen, Jill Nussinow The MATCH® chicken is very tasty, and it has a nice, appealing texture. We are not vegetarians -- we've been trying to cut our meat consumption for health reasons, and I think my husband likes the MATCH® chicken better than [animal] chicken! -I.M. The stuff is absolutely DELICIOUS! There are so many ways it can be prepared, and it's fast and easy. Can't wait until my next order arrives. -P.R. In this Lenten season my wife and I came across MATCH® quite by accident. We tried the beef first with hamburgers and were pleasantly surprised. This was followed by stuffed peppers, which were indistinguishable from meat. Now if MATCH® can change water into wine, I am ready to convert. -G.P., MD I absolutely love your product. I get so tired of processed vegetarian dishes. It is so nice to have an option to cook something instead of just popping it into the microwave. -Annette The MATCH® breakfast sausage with soymilk makes the best vegan "sawmill" gravy! It's a shame that so many people aren't aware that there are alternatives to the normal, bleh vegetable protein. Whether for environmental, health, or ethics, I honestly believe if more people were aware that there is an alternative to meat that doesn't taste awful, more people would make the switch. Thanks again for all you do for my palate! -Lyndzie One of our family favorites is sausage biscuits and gravy on a weekend morning. The smell of the MATCH® breakfast sausage cooking even gets the teenagers out of bed. Also, we think it's our one year old's favorite food - she eats twice as much of it as her 3 year old brother! -H.R. I just tried MATCH® ground chicken and am floored at how delicious it is. You got the consistency and taste so close to real chicken that you could easily trick a meat-eater. Thank you, thank you, thank you for creating it. I can't wait to try the other flavors! -Meagen I just wanted to send a huge message of support for the products you are creating! I've been using MATCH® since I found it in Dierberg's last spring. At the time I was vegetarian. Now that I've gone vegan, I'm amazed at the wonderful meals I can make for myself (and my "meatatarian" husband) with MATCH®. In particular, the crab cake and cornflake chicken recipes on your site are awesome! I can't wait to try more recipes. I hope distribution for MATCH® continues to grow and that it finds a customer base outside of the Midwest. I'm excited that my favorite vegan storefront Vegan Essentials will be carrying it soon, but I'm even happier that I can just run down to Dierberg's and stock up! As a Fenton, MO resident, I'm also incredibly proud that such an innovative product is being made so close to my house! Please keep up the good work! Thank you again! -L.S. Your products are wonderful! My husband and I just recently discovered MATCH® at our local Whole Foods. You have just expanded our menu with your delicious vegan foods! -W.T. I want to start my letter by telling you that I have been a vegetarian for 16 years (since I was 9). I have seen how far vegetarian food has come in these years; it is amazing now, the variety (and quality) of food available. My parents have since also become vegetarians. They swear by what MATCH® makes. I can't tell you how much they rave, and how wonderful they believe ALL of your products are. It has truly changed their diets. -D.B. We love your products. My husband and I are vegetarians, but my son is not. Your products allow us to make "meat" dishes for the whole family. We have had good luck converting regular recipes to meatless, including an amazing meatloaf and a hamburger that even my son's friends haven't recognized as not beef. We keep experimenting and come up with new dishes all of the time. -L.S. MATCH® is the best product on the market! My husband and I discovered your product this fall at Whole Foods in St. Louis. We moved to St. Louis for a year from NYC and will probably be moving again this summer. I'm spreading the word of your product to our friends, so they can buy online. I am a complete supporter of your product. I've recommended it to my students at St. Louis University and to my friends all over the country. Thanks for making such an amazing alternative for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! -M.C. My wife fixed a stuffed pepper with MATCH® and it is fabulous. Congratulations on a great product. We will eat it regularly as I am not a big meat eater. -M.I., MD Your product is so awesome, I use MATCH® all the time, and it's great what impact it seems to have had on the food scene in St. Louis. I moved here a few years ago and it was really difficult to be excited about eating out at many restaurants, but so many places carry MATCH® now and it really seems to have impacted the number of vegan-friendly establishments in St. Louis 1,000%. -A.B. I love your products and have had some great feedback about the MATCH® ground pork. I've pointed it out to a few customers who were a little reluctant to try it because of the price. I don't feel like the price is too high once you try the product. -Thyme Season My boyfriend and I switched over to a "Pescatarian" lifestyle over a year ago and have recently discovered MATCH® products at our local Whole Foods Store. I admire what you are doing and I only hope that more and more people get on board the MATCH® train. My boyfriend and I are doing our part to "spread the word." -D.D. I was ordering my usual monthly goodies from Vegan Essentials and noticed that they now sell MATCH®! How wonderful that you guys are really getting around! -D.L. I recently bought all varieties of MATCH®. I think your product is GREAT! I downloaded a copy of the letter to the store manager and I am trying to get my Hy Vee store in Cedar Rapids IA to carry MATCH® products. Thank you for a fantastic vegan option. -S.B. Hi, I'm a Ph.D. student at Washington University in St. Louis in the Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology (PNP) program. I have written a couple scholarly articles about animal welfare and was thrilled to read about your company. I'm very excited that this is right here in St. Louis. -A.S. I happened to be at Dierberg's yesterday and got samples of MATCH® chili and MATCH® mostaccioli. Both surpassed any vegan product I have ever tasted. Both of my children will not eat meat, which makes it difficult to cook for the family when my wife and I still eat meat (though not nearly as much as before they gave it up). I loved the taste and texture and speaking with Chef Freddie found out I can use it like regular meat in my recipes. I thank you for such a wonderful product and am looking forward to cooking for my family again. -D.M. I made crab cakes with MATCH® and they were AWESOME! My girlfriend said it was the best meal I'd ever made for her. Just wanted to say thanks. -Kathryn We had a wonderful vegan Thanksgiving meal thanks to our MATCH® Meats Holiday Roast! We used a fresh sage and paprika spice rub, braised it and then roasted it. When it came out of the oven there was this beautiful bronze hue and a fabulous aroma to accompany it--slicing up beautifully! This was the perfect centerpiece to our traditional fare of potatoes, stuffing, gravy, green beans and cranberries. I can't thank you enough! -Kelly Our chef makes a [MATCH®] sausage enchilada and a [MATCH®] sausage and egg scramble breakfast burrito. The MATCH® crab gets used mostly for crab cakes ... one customer likes them so much that we have to call whenever we make them. The [MATCH®] beef went into a beef and broccoli stir fry and beef stroganov. Keep the good stuff coming... -Josie Duennes of Nature’s Bin in Lakewood, Ohio This past weekend I threw my annual holiday dinner party for my colleagues - a highly carnivorous bunch of psychologists, lawyers, and their spouses. I always choose recipes containing meat products to keep them happy. This year the meat selections included sausage stuffed mushrooms and Greek moussaka. I used MATCH® sausage for the mushrooms and MATCH® beef for the moussaka. Both were completely fantastic, no one could tell the difference. One of my guests said that she would be vegan if she could have food like this every day. I consider this a testimony to your products as much as to my cooking. -D.L. I wanted to thank you for producing MATCH®. I have only tried the ground beef, but I go through a package a week. I can finally have a burger that tastes like a burger! I've been a vegetarian for 15 years and this is my favorite product so far! THANKS! -M.P. |
