I finally tried the Field Roast Chao slices (original flavor) tonight and was not that impressed. I made grilled cheese sandwiches with them, and I couldn't get them to melt. The taste wasn't too bad but the texture was a little hard. Maybe next time I will try melting them in the oven instead of in a skillet.
I made a Waldorf salad to go with it, with raw broccoli, grapes, walnuts, onion, spinach and romaine. The dressing was a homemade cashew cream cheese. I LOVED my salad.
I just don't get the hype over Chao cheese, but maybe I picked the wrong flavor? I tried a bite of it cold too before I did the grilled cheese and it was just ok. I'm not giving up on it yet (I still have seven slices left to work with). Just need to find something else to do with it. I was not a huge fan of cheese as an omni, as I was intolerant of it for years, but it used to gross me out too, and the smell still grosses me out, so maybe that has something to do with it lol. I really like Daiya shreds though. I can't remember but I don't think I ever tried Daiya slices either. Might just have to try them to compare.
