I don't know why so many vegetarians go for these faux meats. There are
lots of good vegetarian dishes to provide protein that might otherwise
come from meat, but if you want something that looks and tastes like a
hamburger, have a hamburger. If you want something that loos and tests
like turkey, get a turkey. My vegetarian nephew keeps foisting faux
products on me.... try it... it tastes just like a hamburger. No. It
does not taste like hamburger, Hamburger tastes like hamburger.
