I was vegan for a couple of years [in Australia] and it was ok as long as I was around other vegans. Once I left the fold it became anti-social and I went back to ovo-lacto and later to ovo-fisho-lacto and finally to Forrager. Right now, my son has 'allergies' and can't eat gluten [ie all vegan 'meat' alternatives are out] including most TVP. They seem to put wheat gluten into everything in the west. Interestingly, asian "mock meats" (which are also vegan and can be bought at Uwajimaya) seem to use tapioca starch and far less wheat. They're ok, but he hates them. Its probably my cooking.

Unfortunately, it's not vegan -- it contains egg whites -- so I haven't been able to try it. The recipe you're using sounds yummy.

I much prefer the Quorn taste to the tofu one and it doesn't have (much) gluten which helps since my son has a wheat allergy. This is the recipe I'm doing: <a href="http://www.1001recipes2send.com/Entrees/Other_Poultry/2139-Turkey-Style_Roast_with_Cranberry_-_Mustard_Glaze.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.1001recipes2send.com/Entrees/Other_Poultry/2139-Turkey-Style_Roast_with_Cranberry_-_Mustard_Glaze.shtml</a> We’re going with Quorn this year instead of Tofurky.
