Wtf. No bacon? No real meat?

Sad.

So, how did it taste??? All the pictures were great!

They weren't bad. Had a slightly sweet flavor to it. It wasn't like the TVP meat loaf we had though. The meat loaf was pretty darn close to 'meat'.

Interesting. I may have to try it, as I'm trying the reduce the amount of red meat I eat.

Where do you get the TVP?

I bought it at the local Whole Foods, but you should be able to buy it at any health food store. it is $2 a pound and one pound of TVP - when re-constituted with liquid, will be the same as 2-3 pounds of meat.

At Whole Foods, is it prepackaged, or is it with the bulk goods you measure out like grains, nuts, etc?

You can get it prepackaged (Bob's Red Mill brand, for one)

Whole Foods has it in the bulk foods section and you just bag what you want.

:iagree:

Well I'll be damned, my GF and I just might try this mystery "meat".

Have you tried making "meat" sauce with it, for pasta?
How about a form of Shepherds Pie or Chili?

No, we have not tried that, but I have thought about mixing a little ground beef with some TVP and making pasta sauce or chili, seems like it would be a good way to make meat stretch a little further.

That sounds like a good idea. May have to try it sometime.
