earlier this month sold out of its mock meat boxes within its first 48 hours of business.

The company

aims to make mock meats, sauces, and cheeses from easily recognizable ingredients that

are minimally processed and actually good for you.

Their

innovative plant-based products can be purchased as a bimonthly pickup box, in 'gluten

free' or 'basic' packages.

Products

The company currently offers such items as a 'Crem Chez', 'Montreal Spiced Bacon', and 'Popcorn

Chickfu' - all given names to match those of the animal products they

replicate.

The range currently consists of ten products, the ingredients of which are listed

on the company website.

Marshall said: "Lucky for us it took off even more than we could have imagined."

According the the culinary pro, the company is reportedly even popular with non vegans.



"What I'm seeing now is not necessarily that the people who are coming to me are all vegans or vegetarian, but that we all have somebody in our lives that could use this service."
