Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 Gregory Goode [goode] Hi Harsha, Very wonderful post! I too have ssen children with very strong tendencies towards ahimsa and vegetarianism. And the parents are not always vegetarians themselves. About the substitutes -- don't know the name, but my Chinese Buddhist friends have turned me on to a wonderful Taiwanese soy product that has the same visual appearance and consistency as a kind of sliceable lunch meat. It tastes like sliced ham or turkey, and is great cold as a lunch-meat substitute, or fried as a sausage substitute, or cooked in faux-meat and vegetable dishes. Never rubbery like so many other substitutes. It tastes better than the thing it stands in for! Great entre' to vegetarianism. If anyone is interested, I'll try to find the name. I'm posting this to other groups as well. Sorry for any irritating cross-posting... With metta and ahimsa, --Greg Thanks for posting this Greg. It will be useful for many people. I personally enjoy cooking and prefer to boil the soybeans and legumes myself and season them the way I like it. Mark is right that the less processed the food is, the better it is for the body. Somehow, I never think of these things when I am being offer carrot cakes! Love Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
