I only started using it recently. I don't find it slimy. I cut it into
chunks and use it in ratatouille. It acts as a meat substitute.

Maybe it's a lot more common and liked in Europe and Australia than in
the US. Every country has its peculiarities. Americans love corn (and

I detested green peppers when I was a kid. Now I like them a lot, and
like them even more when they are ripe.
