These two Italian entrées are made with Veggie Ground Round, a soy-based ground beef substitute.
The third addition is Veggie Ham Slices. The slices are fat-free, and contain no preservatives or nitrites. Made from soy and a combination of natural spices, the Ham Slices are the latest addition to Yves' deli line, which also features Veggie Turkey Slices, Veggie Deli Slices, Veggie Pepperoni Slices, Veggie Pizza Pepperoni, and Canadian Veggie Bacon.

Faux Fish Served in Norfolk
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) staffers frequently descend on Ships Cabin, an elegant seafood restaurant on the Chesapeake Bay where the fishing industry is an economic staple for many natives. But the Norfolk, VA-based animal rights activists, known for making waves with their national Anti-Fishing Campaign, go to the restaurant to dine — not to protest — as it may be the first seafood house in the country to feature faux fish dishes on its menu.
Diners at Ships Cabin can choose from two faux fish meals that top the list of entrées: Faux Scallops served over seasoned rice and Crabless Crab Cakes served with sweet potato mashers.
Joe Hoggard owns the restaurant that was started by his father. Last winter, he heard PETA's Lisa Lange on a local radio program describing how fish suffer when they are caught and how they begin to suffocate the moment they are pulled out of the water. Hoggard called Lange the next day and asked about vegetarian alternatives to fish dishes.
VRG wishes to congratulate both PETA and Ships Cabin for making a positive contribution toward animals and cuisine.

Edward & Sons
Edward & Sons is now offering three unique vegan items.
The Wizard's Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce contains no artificial flavors and is completely vegetarian. It can be used as a condiment, a marinade, or as a beverage ingredient.
Let's Do® ... Organic Nutty Chocolate Smooth Spread is an organic vegan treat. It's excellent on rice cakes, toast, or as a cake icing. It's produced in a factory that does not use peanuts in any of its recipes, and so it's good for those with peanut allergies.
Native Forest Organic Hearts of Palm is also a vegan product. Hearts of Palm can be added to salads, served with vinegar and oil to make a cold appetizer, or warmed in the oven with oil, nutritional yeast, and spices.
