I don't know if you are looking for meat analogues, but I got to eat hand made seitan once. Really great texture. It isn't something I see anywhere in places I tend to be so it was exotic to me. It was pretty labor intensitto make, I thought. It took a lot of water!

That's very interesting. I had no idea this existed.

I don't use facebook anymore but iirc there is a group called the seitan society which tries the most ridiculous recipees with seitan. just the images alone were stunning.

Just don't say it's new to the religionists No Gluten, Glutng Poison, etc. My grandfather passed through Berlin during World War II, thanks to a crust of bread.

If you can find this, it's really good. I have never met someone who did not like it. Rinse it off, marinate it, throw it in curry, whatever. My ex used it, or real duck in fresh spring rolls. Available at many Asian markets.

It's rooted in a Chinese Taoist vegetarian festival called 'the Nine Emperor Gods'. It has become quite big in Thailand.

I used to make this myself. It was a mission to make.

Indeed. I used to have friends who would make tempeh but I don't remember ever having theirs and it is more available anyway.

Seitan is soooo good. I had it in a curry in London and loved it. Haven't had anything as good since.

It's essentially just pure Gluten right?

I think l so, the two people making it referred to "vital wheat gluten" and it was the primary ingredient by far. There were other ingredients, too. I think they used some nooch and tamari. Unsure on seasoning.
