gluten experience; was: recipe Correction

[Guest guest]

Okay, no worries, I will make sure we add in your

corrections when we file the recipe, Judy.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

 

Totally unrelated to your recipe... but

I tried a dish that had gluten at a Chinese restaurant

about a month or so ago, and I didn't care for the flavor

of the gluten bits. This surprized me because I wasn't

expecting them to have any flavor except what the sauce

and veggies impart to the dish, much like when you eat

tofu. But this gluten had a weird sort of chemically aftertaste,

so I was wondering if that was typical to store-bought gluten

or maybe if you think I got a bad batch? I ended up just

eating the veggies and rice, and picked those gluten bits

out.

I won't be put off trying gluten again though, just because

I didn't like it the first time around. I want to try making my

own and bought a cookbook full of ways to do it.

Something must of been wrong with that gluten, because I've never tasted it with

any kind of chemical aftertaste. That would not appeal to me at all. I like

gluten very much and use it many different ways. I buy the Worthington

Choplets, but my aunt makes her own and it is sooooooo tender. I loved it. I

need to call her and get her recipes to share. I put it in stir fry,

casseroles, bread and fry it, etc...

 

Which book did you buy? I'm glad you are going to try it. Let me know how it

goes.

 

Smiles and hugs,

Judy

Oh good! I am glad to read that gluten doesn't

normally have a weird taste like that. I had a feeling

this batch might have been either old or bad since

I don't think many people order this dish around here

where I live, so perhaps it just wasn't fresh anymore.

 

I bought the cookbook 'How to make all the meat you

eat from wheat'. Looks pretty interesting.
