wondered if Tofurkey is tasty when someone mentioned
it?

That was me, debating whether or not to make myself Tofurky on
Thanksgiving.
Sadly, my laziness won that debate, and I made linguine with garlic -
your "not-so-traditional" Thanksgiving dinner.... Oh well, it was tasty. And I
didn't have to share with Midnight!! LOL!
As far as the "taste" of Tofurky, I guess it depends on what you're used
to. As my daughter constantly reminds me, it's been so long since I've
actually consumed any animal product, I don't have a clue to what they taste
like. Sooooo.... I think Tofurky is very good.
My daughter, who will soon be 21, has been a vegetarian since 16.
Has been vegan for the last couple of years. (And, I did NOT force my
lifestyle on her, I allowed her to make that decision, and, of course I am so
pleased with her choice! Had I forced my own personal
preferences on her, she may have rebelled & things could very well be
different. Needless to say, I am very proud of her..)
Getting back to what I was saying, my daughter sums it (Tofurky) up as
being something that you need to acquire a taste for......
And, this is something that really "stumps" me, maybe someone has an
answer....
It seems most people (including myself) have turned to a vegan lifestyle
because of the "humane" issues involved...
So, why is it that all these "meat" substitutes and things are made to
look, taste, etc. to be so much like meat - the exact thing we are
excluding from our diets???
Never made sense to me. Some things come so close... I can't fathom
why.
Just wondering,,, (as the Tofurky still sits in fridge....)
