Food Reviews: Udi’s Classic Buns

Udi’s Buns

Just like many people I started with a New Years resolution about being healthier.  Just like many people I failed miserably.  This mostly comes down to that fact that I love to eat (who doesn’t?).  The problem is that I love to eat everything.  By no means am I a foodie I’m more of a seafood guy (lol bad joke).  I do understand the new trend in healthy eating is gluten free.  Udi’s Classic Buns are my first introduction to eating gluten free!

Well that’s almost true I have had Udi’s Snicker Doodle cookies that are absolutely amazing.  However I did not have the same relationship with the classic and wheat buns.  I tried these buns three ways two of which were excellent one was not.

Unfortunately, I introduced myself to the classic buns by just thawing one out and putting a vegan burger on it.  It was horrible.  The taste and consistency and heartiness really put me off.  Thankfully I decided to give it a second chance.

Second chance – I ran out of bread and was too lazy to go to the store (yep that happened).  So I nuked a bun until it was nice and soft.  I assembled my sandwich and went for it again.  Thankfully it was fantastic! The taste was not distracting at all!  Purely delightful! There was a third and final test…

Final Test – The Grill – The other night I had some company over who was very health conscious (vegan).  So I decided to go with the Udi’s Buns on the grill!  They were a hit!  After having them on the grill for about 20 minutes they came out nice and toasty.  Where they good!  The only objection was the size of the bun, which was complained as being too large!  I just think there were too many fixings on it.

Over all yes the buns were fantastic but unfortunately have to be warmed up before eaten or they will be a bit lacking.
