Tofurky anyone?

I like Tofurky and have it fairly regularly. The

texture is more hamlike and is much better served

piping hot than warm. The stuffing that comes along

with it is also very good. A great alternative to

turkey.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am going to have to do some research and find out where I can buy one for

this Thanksgiving. It sounds like it might be interesting. Usually I just let my

husband cook the turkey for him and the kids, and I fix a veggie chicken patty

or griller, and then eat all the mashed potatoes, veggie sides etc.

Hi,

What part of the country do you live in? I can pick

up Tofurky from Whole Foods here in Texas. Whole

Foods also owns Bread and Circus and a couple of other

grocery chains. I do believe they are in all the

major markets in the US - but could be wrong. If I

remember correctly, I was able to obtain Tofurky in

Massachusetts when I lived there.

Hi Shawn,

Didn't read my e-mails yesterday so sorry for the

delay. I just shared about the Whole Foods Tofurky

connection. All their locations carry Tofurky

including the Westheimer store. I normally go to the

Bellaire Blvd one or the one on Woodway. It's in the

frozen section, usually on the bottom shelf. Hope you

enjoy it.

Also, since you are a kindred Houstonian. Tien Ren

Vegetarian Restaurant(corner of Westheimer and

Hillcroft) has the most excellent vegetarian turkey

that is made by their chef. They are buddhist and all

their dishes are vegan. It is the best veggie turkey

I have ever had and they serve it every Thanksgiving.

A couple of years ago I took it to my carnivorous

family Thanksgiving and they all liked it - and that

coming from dyed in the wool anti-vegetarians. It

might be worth your while to go there some time. They

have a wonderful buffet at noon and in the evening.

Delicious and I always end up being a bit of a glutton

when I go there. Enjoy.

Whew - finally read all my e-mails.

Thanks for the suggestion Pat. I've had a smoked

variety of tofu which I think was put out by White

Wave. Was very yummy and I hadn't thought about

making a sandwich with it. I'll give it a try.

Hi Windy, thanks a bunch on the Whole Foods info. and especially the Tien

Ren Veg. restaurant info. That sounds great. A buffet that is vegetarian,

it must be heaven. Going to other buffets is quite frustrating. I'm the

fastest person in line, because I don't eat half the stuff there. Then the

other half your never 100% positive if it has meat in it or not. LOL, sorry

for the rant.
