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. So 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) Patti

Re: Tofurky
Well, I've never made "Tofurky" but I love Tofu. This Thanksgiving, I have veggies at a friends family dinner - very nice.

Re: Tofurky
Maybe they do that because they want you to feel moremainstreamed, if in case you feel like an anomoly, you will be eating something that resembles meat. Just a guess. Many people I know do not care for the taste of veggie products, and I have to admit that I have tasted more that I don't care for than those that I think are yummy. Morningstar patties I love, and I also really like their corndogs. I personally don't care for hotdogs at all, but the Morningstar fake-weenie-corndog is really good with a little mustard! I do also likethe fake chicken patties and nuggets, but they give me the worst heartburn! It's horrible, because I could totally get into them.
