Seitan salami, to be precise. It really is very silly to make meat
substitutes -- you don't have to tell me that. Still, I kind of like
silly food, so it works fine for me.

I tried Seitan once and renamed it "satan". It tastes like the devil.

:-) We like it here, but then we don't hate satan any more than we hate santa claus. :-)

I think RFC can do without the shithouse humor.

As long as it tasted good. :-)

It looks interesting.

Interesting -- the big question, though, is what did it taste like?

Like spicy seitan. :-) It's good, but we like seitan in general. It
makes good "lunchmeat", and when James fried some up, it reminded us
both of a fried-bologna kind of thing.

What did you make it from? Gluten powder? I once made seitan from
scratch using plain flour. It was too much work for too little result
for me to ever do again.

Looks quite interesting. What spices did you put in there? (I was
looking at the ingredients pic - and was just wondering)...

I like seitan and do not fing your sausage silly. Even less silly (of
possible) if the name wasn't salami

I really like that you make this stuff yourself. I can only be prepared
seitan in brine here.

If I remember right, it was paprika, cumin, cayenne, garlic, salt, and
black pepper.

Yeah. Here, it's usually called "vital wheat gluten", and I buy it
from the bulk bins.

I used to do it that way, too. I didn't mind the work, as it was just
part of my hippy-commune way, but these days I'd rather do it this
way. It's still MUCH cheaper than store-bought seitan, and I like it.

We get that, too, and I used to love it, but then one day I got sick
from a can of it, and I haven't been able to enjoy it since. I can eat
it, but the broth makes me a little tiny queasy.

In such cases, eating other foods is usually more worthwhile

Thanks for sharing. I don't think I'll try it, but I enjoyed reading
about it. I hope you enjoy it.

My daughter was a vegetarian for 8 years, my sister for 13. I've had a
lot of vegetarian experiences, and most have been enjoyable.

It's fun. Especially fried in olive oil -- it's really reminiscent of
the trashy fried-bologna sammiches James and I had in our childhoods.

I've been a vegetarian most of my life, and while these days I
occasionally eat animal foods, they're not what I crave -- they're
what I eat if they're to hand and easier to grab than something veg.
