Adventures with fake meat

[pennie_dreadful]

TSP (textured soy protein)...it's okay I guess. If you taste it by itself it's kinda funky, but if it's in something, it covers up the funkiness. I tried it in bolognese last night and honestly, I would just rather go with straight vegetables than use TSP. Although I suppose there might be occasions where it's useful.

I'm still side eyeing the cheese made from rice, though.

Have you tried cheese made from nuts?

I haven't tried any of the fake cheese yet! I've been told it's actually pretty good, but I'm stil going b-b-b-but how.

Good ebook on nut cheeses. Or easy peasy how to. And then there are the cheese cakes.

I can't stand it when food tries to be something its not. I like plenty of vegetarian or vegan dishes, and all of those I do like aren't trying to be something else.

I mean, if I'm going to eat tofu I'd rather have it be tofu instead of a tofurkey, you know?

But more power to you if you can eat these substitutions. :D

I figured it was worth at least trying, you know?
