Okay I was at the health food store and sprang a whole two bucks for a
package of TVP aka textured vegetable protein...it's a meat analogue made of
soy from what I gather.

I read the directions - basically soak it for a whiles and then drain it. A
few web searches turned up some uses such as using it as a ground beef
substitute, in stir fries, etc. I suspect that simply by itself it is
pretty bland stuff....

Anyone have any experience using this? I'm not vegetarian but there are
times when I'll go off of meat for a few days or even a week I also have
vegan friends so it might come in handy for, say, vegetarian chili and such.
I like seitan and use it once a while, so I'm always looking for something
new in the veg protein area....

If it is decently edible I'll consider using it ocassionally - if not I'll
chalk it up to experience....
