We have a delicious and relatively healthy new snack/side dish, thanks to a suggestion from Scramble subscriber Lisa Worlund. For a vegetarian product, they taste amazingly like the real fried corn dogs with beef, but they are neither, and have 71% less fat than regular mini corn dogs. I wouldn't exactly characterize them as a health food, with their list of 36 + ingredients, but they are pretty low in fat, have a little dietary fiber (1 g per serving), and aren't too high in sodium (as long as you watch your serving size).
By the way, Morning Star Farms products are now made (or at least distributed by, whatever that means) by Kellogg, and I generally think they make good-tasting vegetarian meat-like foods.

Just a quick note that Morning Star Farms is owned by Kellogg. They bought them back around '98 or '99 after they sold off Lenders Bagels. They really missed the boat on Lenders, buying them at their height and when bagel shops were starting to open all over the place. I can't say I've actually tried the veggie-meat products, though.
