Tofurky Holiday Vegetarian Roast and Gravy (it's also vegan)

I have been up and down on trying to eat more plant based, sometimes more vegetarian and sometimes more vegan and then sometimes i'll eat some meat. So no real set diet plan that i'm doing. Anyways, as i've been following more vegan/vegetarian posts, i've seen this many times before but had no idea where to even get it. I figured i was going to need to go take a trip to Whole Foods or something to find it. Out of random luck, i came across this at Safeway. Of all places, i never expected Safeway to have it.
Originally i had gotten it for christmas dinner. But after the opening the gifts and the other food getting cooked, didn't want to deal with making this at that time. So had it for my first dinner of the year instead.

Here's how it looked after getting it out of the plastic wrap and putting on the oil and soy sauce baste it suggested to put on. More and more vegan foods have been looking good to me, but this does look a bit odd.

It even comes with "gravy"

That's how it started off as. That is very off putting for me... After it got heated up, it got thinner and got more gravy like. But i didn't really like the taste, just wasn't really any flavor to it. so i added some stuff to it and this is how it ended up.

Looks good right? Yeah, not so much for me either. Tasted a little better but still wasn't that great.

After cooking for 1 hour and 35 minutes, this is how it looked.

Slightly looks like a little ham. It did smell really good while it was cooking. It was a pain to cut though.

I was the only one who tried it so here's my plate.

I made some cranberry boxed stuffing to go with it, pretty sure it was vegan before cooking and i just used a vegan butter i have instead of normal butter to make it. so this whole plate should be vegan. Sounds great, looks a bit blah, and was a bit meh in taste.
Tried the gravy with the roast and it was a little better, but still not great. the stuffing in the roast was really good, best part of the whole thing. The boxed stuffing was decent, just made me want more cranberries though. The actual roast itself, well if it had the sliced tofurkey before, it tastes just like a big chunk of that. Isn't too bad, i like the sliced Tofukry but on a sandwich with other flavors. Was able to eat more of it when i did a mix of piece of roast and some of the boxed stuffing...It pretty much covered the flavor.

Well, now i can say i've tried the roast. I may not of been super pleased with it but i'm glad i've tried it. Vegans who are full vegans and eat this stuff more often than me, i'm sure they like it more than me, but still all the matter of taste. I won't be buying it again, but i'm not going to tell someone to not buy it if they are curious in trying it.

Now i need to go buy cranberries when i get to go shopping....
