- I mean I don't hate it.
I wouldn't fire the
person that fed me this.
- No, but I'd like to
speak to the manager.
- Listen, Karen (beeping)
(upbeat music)
- Hi guys, the four of us are here today
because we're hungry.
- Mmmmm.
- This is my friend Louis Christopher
and I am Candice, the Edgy Veg.
Today, I thought it would be fun
to do a taste test of overly hyped,
or I guess not overly hyped,
we don't know if they're overly hyped yet,
but hyped vegan food.
If you're new here I'm
Candice, the Edgy Veg.
Welcome to my channel.
I'm make new videos every
Tuesdays and Thursdays,
so hit that Subscribe button.
So you can watch this face eat food
twice a week, every week.
So you're new to veganism,
plant-based life things?
- Yup.
- There's a lot of really
great products out there now
and some people are just like
losing their minds over it.
- I saw the corn dogs
and I didn't even realize
that was even an option.
So that made my night.
- You're excited?
- Very, very hungry.
- I'm excited.
So I have some dessert, some
cooked things, some not cooked,
some liquids, some snacks.
Our first course, this is the
dayia deliciously dairy-free,
santa frey--
- Santa frey?
- Santa frey.
Santa Fe Burrito with meatless,
beef-flavored crumbles,
brown rice, and potatoes.
- I can be brutally
honest about my response?
- Oh, yes, I want you to be honest.
I want you to, I'm gonna--
- It's not that I'm not honest,
but like you know like--
- First of all, this is the
driest, grossest tortilla
I've ever seen in my entire life.
- But I am excited to try this,
because I used to get these,
well, like the other crappy
meat ones, in high school.
And it was such an easy snack.
- I mean--
- It's not bad.
- I was really looking to hate this,
I don't like a lot of dayia products.
- It's pretty good.
- First of all, can we talk about though?
This is the size of the package.
This is the thickness of the burrito.
- Tiniest little fucking thing.
- Like, this was expensive.
You could put two of these in here.
So first of all, um no.
- Actually, tortilla wrapping
is better than I thought
it was going to be.
I thought this was gonna be a lot harder
and just more grainy.
- It's actually kind of chewy and nice.
It's like really dense.
It has a little bit of heat
to it, a little bit spicy.
I would buy this as like
something to keep in the fridge
to have on the go if I'm super lazy
or PMSing or need something
before work really quick.
In case of emergency definitely,
but not for the size of this burrito.
- It's barely a snack.
- No.
- I could put back like three of those.
- No looking.
- Ooooh!
- No looking.
- How am I not supposed
to look when you put it
right in front of me?
- We have the Tofutti, milk free.
Living healthy, dairy-free,
new exciting breakthrough!
Dairy-free jumbo ravioli,
real homemade taste.
Wow, please taste me.
(laughing)
But their branding.
Why does this look like a
Wish description (laughing)
Faux-leather pants man, one-size-fits-all.
Great for men, wear for Halloween cosplay.
It just goes on and on and on.
- You're kind of right.
- It's filled with--
- happiness.
- Ricotta which is better
than ricotta cheese.
Oh look, you get a free
Tofutti cutie bear offer.
- Oh weird, that first
taste really threw me off.
- Why?
- It was really sweet.
But the more I chew it, the better it is.
- Okay, and I just topped it with like--
You wouldn't have it without a sauce,
so I wanted to serve it with a sauce.
I'm gonna have it without the sauce first.
I wanted to try and make these things
as authentic as possible.
They're these cute little
ricotta-filled pockets.
- It has like the, that
sweetness kinda throws me off.
- Oh yeah, why is it sweet?
- Yeah, it's like a sweet sweet.
- It's like cream cheese.
The pasta's really good.
- The pasta's really nice.
Like the actual casing is really tasty.
- The cheese has potential
it's just too sweet.
I mean, I don't hate it.
I wouldn't fire the
person that fed me this.
- No, but I'd like to
speak to the manager.
- Listen, Karen--
- It's okay.
- It's okay.
I wouldn't have that again.
- It was just okay.
- Batter up!
- All right, next up we
have miniature corn dogs.
This is by Field Roast.
Crispy corn-battered vegan frankfurters.
You can choose what you wanna dip it with.
I like to do mustard and
I think that's really
the only thing that
should be on a corn dog.
- If you're a savage that's
all you put on a corn dog.
I, with a more refined
palate, enjoy a nice
full-bodied ketchup.
(chewing)
Definitely got the hotdog
flavor to it, that's a hotdog.
I would say though, coming
from a traditional pogo--
- The batter's wrong.
- Exactly.
(laughing)
The casing doesn't taste bad
- No, it's good.
- It's just extra crumbly,
whereas it's supposed
to be dense, ya know?
It's supposed to be like a--
- Also though it's too sweet.
- It's good, would order again.
- Yeah.
- Would buy again.
Actually--
- Nah, I wouldn't.
- These were like $12.00
so no, would not buy again.
- If I'm paying $12.00
for plant-based corn dogs
you better knock it out
of the goddamned park.
- The sausage is bang-on.
- Like, that's the most hot dog-y hotdog
I ever tasted that's not hotdog.
- I was really excited for this.
This was the one that I
was looking forward to.
My pogo corn dog craving was not satiated.
- I agree.
- So I thought we'd take a
break from the cooked foods
to try out something sweet.
This is the Almond Bliss
Vego White chocolate bar.
This is from Germany, I believe.
It's vegan, gluten-free, fair
trade, no palm, and organic.
It is German because these
are all German words.
(in foreign language)
So it's a white chocolate with almond.
- For someone who really
loves white chocolate--
- This is why I got this.
- I really need this to taste good.
- What, what's wrong?
- I'm just approaching this in a...
- Scientific manner?
- Connoisseurial manner.
Oooh, it does have a
white chocolate smell.
- Mmmm, it's not too sweet.
I hate overly sweet white chocolate.
Oh, that's white chocolate.
That's so fucking good.
- I'm genuinely impressed by that.
I am very happy at this result.
If you get farty and bloated (laughs)
from white chocolate products
I strongly suggest you
go out and buy this.
How do you say "next" in German?
- Uhhhh, I mean I know how to say "next"
but in this context (in foreign language)
Why am I having so much trouble with this?
- I don't know.
- This is what they say,
if you don't use it you lose it.
- Violife, 100% vegan
alternative to cheese
cheddar-style slices.
I literally read like
bottom to top on that.
That was a little hard to do.
- Why did you do it like that?
- I don't know.
- Wanna show the nice
people before you do it?
- 'Kay.
- Okay.
- Okay, anything else for me
to know, is it gluten free?
Is it kosher?
- Keep refrigerated, no preservatives.
Non-GMO, free from dairy,
soy, gluten, lactose, nuts,
and preservatives, and a re-closable pack.
- Well, thank goodness for that.
- Lovely.
- Okay, not that close,
no that's too close.
- Hi, I'm the Edgy Veg.
- Do you want a whole slice (mumbling)
Do you want a half?
- Oh yeah, no.
Ohh.
- It smells like cheese.
- That smells like cheddar.
- It doesn't smell like
Kraft Singles cheddar.
- No it smells like genuine cheddar.
And it's got that--
- Wiggle factor?
- It's got a cheese feel to it.
- Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.
It tastes like nothing.
(chewing)
- That's a big let down.
You know how I could see
this being good though?
- What, with crackers?
- But also if it's melted.
- Okay so, we're doing
the raw taste-test first.
I mean, it's not bad.
- But there's not like, when I bite into--
- It's kinda buttery.
- Yeah, it is.
It has a sort of oiliness to it,
without a sharpness of the
cheese that counterbalances it.
- Okay so, here we have the Lightlife
plant-based burgers.
It's like the Lightlife version
of a beyond meat burger.
It says, our plant-based
burger has the same great taste
and juicy texture as traditional beef.
It will fill you up without
weighing you or the planet down.
I wanted to have this like
an authentic taste-test.
Lettuce, tomato, I put on
some of that Violife cheese.
- I would say...(throat clearing)
- It's not as good as beyond meat.
- No.
- It definitely has a meaty texture.
It kind of tastes like
nothing, it has to be seasoned.
It's like an unseasoned
less greasy version
of a beyond meat burger.
- Would you say the beyond meat burger
even is that seasoned?
'Cause I find it has, it has a taste to it
but it's not...this is
definitely a second place
to the beyond meat burger.
But it's still good.
I'd be happy if this was
served at a barbecue.
- Right, it's just, if
you're comparing it to
the beyond meat burger
or the impossible burger.
- There's a few tweaks they could do.
- It was definitely
more difficult to cook.
So I cook on a cast iron skillet
and I find that I don't
have to add any oil
when I cook the beyond meat burger
because it has it's own oil
so it can cook in its
own juices, if you will.
It has a really nice flavored oil.
But then when you put the buns
in the pan to toast the buns
you're absorbing that
oil to toast the buns
and this didn't do that, it
was really hard to work with.
It stuck to the pan.
- And this tastes more
like a plant-based pattie.
- It has 20g of protein.
- That's pretty good.
- So all in all--
- And there's so much fiber.
At the end of the day you'll
definitely have a good poo.
- Which accent was that?
- I don't know.
- Pudding!
- Belsoy pudding.
This is dark chocolate
dessert (in foreign language).
GMO-free, lactose-free,
gluten-free, and peanut-free.
So as a kid my mom always put Snack Packs
in my lunch (snapping)
- I got Dunk'a'Roos or,
Christ what were those--
- It's bigger than I thought.
- Big boy.
- So I had this as a kid.
I don't know, my mom didn't
buy things like Dunk'a'Roos
but this was a nice cheap snack.
- Mmmmm, mmmmm.
(mouth smacking)
- Well done, Belsoy.
- I love pudding, I do.
I ate so much pudding as kid in Germany
you can get these puddings that
actually taste exactly like
you can get those chocolate
puddings with whip cream on top
it's called (in foreign language)
- This is really good.
- It's really good.
I'm so excited.
- I had low expectations.
- You did?
♪ Low expectations ♪
♪ Lowered expectations ♪
- That's the one, that's
the one I got wrong.
I will stock this in my house.
- You won't need a spoon for the next one
'cause it comes with
its own eating device.
- Stick.
- It's a stick.
- It's a feedin' stick.
(laughing)
- This is the Magnum
non-dairy, non-dairy classic
velvety vanilla indulgence
dipped in a coating
made with Belgian sweet chocolate.
Plant-based indulgence,
it is a froze dessert.
It's vegan-certified
and there's only three.
Who the hell packages
things in odd numbers?
- Psychopaths.
- Psychopaths!
This is a lot smaller, again,
than I remember Magnums being.
- Yep, no, like Magnums
are supposed to be like...
That's why it's called a Magnum!
- Listen (laughs) are the
non-dairy ones this small?
Why are they making all vegan food tiny?
Am I on some sort of forced diet?
- No, I think as we got older,
and it's not just because we're
getting physically larger,
but Oreos, correct me if
I'm wrong, regular Oreos
do not have as much filling
as they used to have?
Like companies around the
globe are just slowly screwing
us of our childhood pleasures
by just making everything
a little bit smaller so they
can save millions of dollars
but they're screwing us
out of our enjoyment.
I'm not wrong, conspiracy
theory I swear to God.
- Right off the bat, this is the best
vegan ice cream I've ever had.
It's not overly sweet,
it's the creaminess of it.
The creaminess reminds
me of dairy ice cream.
Like good dairy, not
mixed not made with oil.
Like, actual cream whipped ice cream.
- I've never been a fan
of Magnums, my whole life.
They're good, but I was
an ice cream sandwich man.
- Are you a sociopath?
Oh, maybe the next one
I'll get you some ice cream sandwiches.
- I'm starting to feel
sick after all this food
but not really.
- Anyway, let us know in
the comment section below

you want us to try next.

What kind of lunatic
doesn't eat the chocolate?
- It kept falling off!
- So eat it!
- I'm enjoying it at my own pace.
- You're gonna eat it though,
you're not gonna leave it there.
- Maybe I will, maybe I won't.
What are you gonna do about it?
- Oh my God, you need to eat
it or else we can't be friends.
- I don't have to do
anything you say (laughs)
- You're not my real mom!
