[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope, I tried Trader Joe's tofurkey and it was GROSS.  I make and eat vegan sides.  I also do not like "fake" meat.  I am vegan for a reason.  [/quote]

Not a vegan, but former vegetarian and I completely agree. All that "fake meat" is disgusting,  over processed garbage that I think is terrible for you. I never touched it as a veg and don't get its appeal.[/quote]
Those products are for omnivores who are looking to decrease or eliminate their meat consumption, not people who don’t miss having meat in their diets.[/quote]

Actually, the person I am thinking of who doesn’t eat meat would really like this. They typically eat the fake Turkey log from Trader Joe’s. I thought something homemade would taste better. Lots of vegans I know enjoy this type of thing. [/quote]

I disagree with PPs. Many vegetarians eat this products and are, of course, their target market. What I find less appealing as a vegetarian are the fake meats with the fake blood that try to recreate the texture of meat.

I am a vegetarian and my grocery store has the thing where you get a free turkey if you spend X amount of money, but lets you opt for a Tofurkey instead. When I qualify I get one. I can take it or leave it, but I try to put a nice rub on it and roast it with vegetables and potatoes, and it's perfectly fine.

If this person has a certain brand of fake Turkey they like, I suggest you buy that one and then if you want to show off your cooking skills, make some interesting sides. Making your own fake meat at home with vital wheat gluten and stuff is doable but tricky.[/quote]
