Ha! That is so funny! Because if I feed my husband ANY Tofu... Whew... It will first get REALLY musical from his nether-regions, then I will need to invest into Lysol Spray shares...

They taste so good that my mother thinks they are secretly NOT vegetarian and use meat casings (they don't, I looked it up). If you didn't tell them no one would believe they are not meat. SO good!

How do you make yours? I tried various kinds of ways and they wind up rather tough to chew.

Quron products are rather tasty as well as Veat.

I feel your pain. I was inspired by a relative to try Vegatarianism. I buy a lot of things at Whole Foods Market here in Houston <---relative works there so that helps... but I've tried the Vegan meatballs, made a pizza with "gimme lean" and rice cheese <----good stuff!!!, and I've bought a lot of the gardenburger products. The portabella patties/ "riblets" are excellent. I'm slowing having to learn how to eat and taking red meatout of my diet all together. I already don't eat pork (just never cared for it). I started about a month ago. I did notice though that the vegatarian products are pretty high in sodium and I've had problems with my BP after I had my daughter.

Come Veteran Vegetarians... where are those recipes!!!!
