What is the texture of this food? Is it pate style or chunks in a sauce? Are all of the flavors grain free?

Almost all Tiki cat food is grain free, that is why I buy it. There is some rice in the King Kamehameha Luau variety pack( less expensive variety pack of two variety pack offered), which I buy some of as rice is easy on the tummy, but contains no other grains as corn or wheat! I mainly buy the Queen Emma Luau variety pack which is grain free, only meat and vitamins for my cat. The texture depends on the flavor. It's not quite pate, more like small pieces of salmon or mackerel in a small amount of sauce which is like an aspic in many cases. The tuna is more like a "pate'" in that the pices are very small and the liquid is very small. My cat usually prefers pate type food to chunks and he loves Tiki. Tiki is not like most foods and because of it's quality and palatability, it is the only food I feed my cat now. The pieces are small and smell delicious. So my finicky cat loves them! He's high maintenance and will stick up his noise at Weruva, Instinct etc. He also has skin allergies that necessitate high quality food. Tiki fits the bill for him, he like the more expensive Queen Emma Luau variety pack the very best and then the less expensive King Kamehameha Luau (contains rice in some of the variety) and he loves the wild salmon in the small size, the larger size has too much liquid. He is beautiful with a full, shiny coat and extreme energy! Give him generic cat food or treats and its skin allergies for him, so I love Tiki, it's reasonably priced, made in a factory under human food controls and smells yummy! What's not to like, try it!!!! Most of the Tiki foods are carbohydrate free too if that is important to your cat.

the selection I bought are grain free, the texture is bones and actual fish meat, very little liquid. my cats love fish, but I think this food is to dry and too intense for them, they eat a few bites but leave the majority of the food.

Perhaps you've never seen a bone because you need glasses. Your criticism was unwarranted, very one is entitled to their opinion. I stand behind my initial comments since you seem to be a manufacture's plant. The food is dry, there was never, ever a puddle of liquid after opening a new can and spooned on a plate. I don't leave open cans of cat food for a week as you seem to do because you know the results. Perhaps my shipment was old food to be begin with. To each their own and I will not purchase Tiki cat again since my cats do not like it.

Arrowroot is a powdery starch that is gluten free and easy to digest. You could whisk a couple of teaspoons into your pudding. Although arrowroot is neutral in taste, I feel it leaves a slightly gritty texture. Personally, if I were you I would just eat this batch of tapioca as it is...runny...and, next time, don't forget to add the vanilla during the cooking stage. Bon appetite! :)

No, it's not chewy if you cook it properly, meaning don't overcook it. This blend has a nice mixture of the Texmati brown and also has wild rice and wheat and rye berries so those add nice texture as well. I haven't bought any other brand of rice since discovering this. I don't follow the cooking instructions though. I cook it strictly in chicken stock and never add butter. I've actually joined the automatic delivery system. If you like it once you've tried it, I highly recommend the automatic delivery because it is much cheaper that way and shipping is always free, even if the price doesn't meet Amazon's minimum purchase requirements for free shipping.

As far as I know, this cat food is not Holistic. It is grain and glutton free. I use it as a night time snack for my kitties and they do well with it. I alternate it with the turkey meal grain free limited ingredients flavor. Cats from 2 years to 16 years are eating it with no tummy upsets and it is about 20% (max) of their diet.

Yes it's a pate. There is a little more liquid in it compared to other similar products. The cats enjoy it and the price is great compared to other renal diet foods.

Sorry, Kate. I don't know...I just eat it and haven't paid attention to the beauty properties...just the flavor and texture.....YUM!

Most Tai Food is cocunut based and this is not. It has a creamier buttery (hence the name) taste and is rich without being overly spicy. There are some similarities though.

The flour is fairly coarse. It's about like corn meal. Great fir pasta, too heavy fir bread or even biscuits.

No chunks...just a consistent thick pate. Have been feeding this to my dog for awhile, and every can has been the same high quality consistency.

It taste great with any tomato based sauce. I use it in place of all my pasta recipes. It doesn't have a strong bean taste to me more nutty and firmer than regular pasta.Just like regular pasta the longer it sits in the sauce the more of the flavor it soaks up. Just don't expect it to taste just like regular pasta

Cooks it perfectly. I have been eating mine all week. I had red quinoa from Trader Joe's and just cooked it on brown rice setting. Very soft and not clumpy at all.

The kitten food is like a pate, which makes it easy for kittens to eat and enjoy. My kitty loved it!

me & the cat both dislike the pate types!!!.....the grilled variety pack is soft, small shred type meats & gravy.......much prefer this than the gravy lovers which is a viscous gravy with small chunks

I'm sure that it is gluton free. It contains no grain. It's made from a root

To me it has great flavor but is in consistency more like a baking chocolate. Not smooth like Lindt. It's worth trying to see what you think. It has it's own unique flavor, much less sugary.

It is very similar to soy sauce, the biggest difference is this doesn't have added salt the sodium comes from the soy beans used to make it. I started using this because my husband has several health issues, heart diabetes two of the biggest, so sodium use is a big problem for my cooking for him. This has solved several problems, gives him the taste of salt that he likes without causing his sodium levels to rise. I use it everywhere it calls for soy sauce, but I also use it for other things, one of his favorites is skinless boneless chicken breasts coated with this and ground flax seed. I just bake that and he loves it, easy and healthy. It is very similar to soy sauce, the biggest difference is this doesn't have added salt the sodium comes from the soy beans used to make it.

It's totally gluten free and I've used it for my kids who are allergic to wheat. Good flavor and great variation to just soy sauce. :)
