Tofurkey?

1. Who cares if it tastes like turkey

The point is to find something not based on offal to eat for Thanksgiving for those of us who don't eat offal (but hey, munch down on rotting flesh if that's your thing, no, um, skin, off my nose).

PS My highly carnivorous father loves the stuff.

2. No offense intended

I'll actually be eating tofurkey for Thanksgiving this year. :-)

Still...though I yearn to truly be vegetarian, it's a hard road for me to follow. I respect those who can walk the walk.

3. Nothing you can do with Tofu can beat Fresh Turkey Roasted over Charcoal

Happy Thanksgiving, carnivores and veggietarians and everyone in-between.

I think this is number 1000.

6. Congratulations on 1000

I have never had tofurkey.

4. I've never tried tofurkey but I have had that stuff that tastes like

chicken! :D

21. I know you're joking but I take offense at you calling it "rotting flesh"

Just because some of us like raw meat that is cooked and seasoned, you don't have to castigate us for it. And stop calling it rotting flesh because it is not.

:P

5. Can you tell me how it tastes?

I was going to purchase the dinner at Whole Foods and it's not that expensive and it comes in it's own pans.

What does it taste like?

13. It's pretty okay

It really doesn't taste like turkey, but like Boca burgers, it's good in it's own way. I really can't describe the taste accurately as it's rather hard to do and I've had a couple of cocktails. ;-)

7. Tofurktastic, does it come with a wishbone?

:crazy:

[Susang]

9. Surprisingly, it does come with a wishbone

Made out of Tofurkey jerky (I am NOT making that up!). :-)

12. Brilliant!

and to think I was asking that tongue-in-cheek!

[FDRrocks]

11. It does now!

They just added an artificial wishbone to the Tofurkey... according to the box.

8. Mmmmmm

may not taste exactly like turkey... but nothing dies in making it... GODDAMN its a good treat.

10. To me, most soy equivalent products

are as good as or even better than what it is they're trying to imitate.

The products made by Boca (Boca Burgers, Sausages, Pizzas and Chicken Patties) are all just incredible. Also, there are Smart Dogs (the chili flavored ones are awesome), and the Italian sausages made by Yves'. TofuRella soy cheese isn't exactly the same as the dairy equivalents but is so close that when you put it on a sandwich or in a salad you would never know the difference.

[FDRrocks]

14. I agree...

The biggie for me was Soymilk... to me, it is far superior to even the richest milk... much healthier... much tastier.

18. Plus...it lasts longer. Doesn't spoil as quick.

Not that I ever have it around that long. My kids love it. :)

15. Tofurkey is to turkey...

Like "chocolate flavored" is to chocolate.

:puke:

[Piperay]

16. I'm a vegetarian but

I don't believe I have ever actually ate it. :shrug: I have never been that interested in stuff that is a substitute for meat because I never cared for the taste of meat anyway. :puke: :shrug: :-)

[RebelOne]

17. I'm vegetarian, too.

Believe me, you are not missing anything. I've eaten it once. Lousy.

19. When I Hear The Word "Tofurkey" I Think Of "Everybody Loves Raymond"...

... the episode where Raymond's mom served some gelatinous looking blob that was supposed to be tofurkey.

When Brad Garrett and Ray Romano saw the 'creation'... the expression on their faces was priceless.

20. I saw that one

It was pretty funny, even though their tofurkey didn't really look like the tofurkey I've tried.
