Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 made a " chiken " cutlet recipe from Bryanna Grogan and it actually turned out. the one time I tried making seitan--totally nasty. the only unnerving part is the texture and taste are VERY close to the real thing--it kind of took me back a bit : ). does anyone get the heebie-jeebies eating meat subs or is it just me? my next goal is to make tofu again. I can get organic soybeans CHEAP and could make multiple batches of seasoned tofu. seasoned tofu at the store is almost $6/8 oz. I figured out making the same amount at home would be about 50 cents. it's not a hard process and is rather fun with kids : ). I may try my hand at homemade soymilk too : ).

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I think non-meat products made to look and taste just like meat dishes is pointless. There are some Chinese restaurants that have their entire menu full of mock meat dishes and although I enjoy the dishes, I don't really think of what I'm eating as being like the meat it's supposed to be like. I still think of it as tofu or seitan or whatever. I eat those things things because I like the way they taste, not because they remind me of meat. But maybe those types of dishes are good for people trying to wean themselves off of meat. -Craige On 11/6/05, jandemommy <jandemommy wrote: > > made a " chiken " cutlet recipe from Bryanna Grogan and it actually > turned out. the one time I tried making seitan--totally nasty. the > only unnerving part is the texture and taste are VERY close to the > real thing--it kind of took me back a bit : ). does anyone get the > heebie-jeebies eating meat subs or is it just me? > > my next goal is to make tofu again.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Speaking as a new vegan, the other side here for me is: I like the things that look and taste rather like meat. It is comforting to me at this point. I mean, I've jumped ship and need some things to buoy me while I learn to swim in the uncharted waters (at least for me and dh they are uncharted). These foods and products are just the ticket. I bet they help a lot of other newbies learn to swim a lot quicker also. :>) Just my two centavos, Bron On 11/6/05, Craige Moore <craige.moore wrote: > > I think non-meat products made to look and taste just like meat dishes is > pointless.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 ---Bron, I actually tried the seitan in a shepherd's pie yesterday and it was so good : ). weird but good : ). today I plan on making a potpie with it and the leftover " stock " . I didn't care for the Shepherd's Pie I made with the veggies they used but will change for my tastes next time--the concept tasted good though--veggies over mashed potatoes with ladle of mushroom gravy. the mushroom gravy recipe in files section--mmm good : ). it is going with me Thanksgiving Day-- I could easily make a meal of mashed potatoes with it. take care : )....
