How it would arc out of the can in a green, liquidy mass? That's what this stuff looks like.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Just remembered this one and pardon me if you have read this before First year our son was a vegetarian I wanted to do a Mom thing and get him something special for the Thanksgiving meal. He said the meal was fine as it was, he'd just skip the turkey and gravy. No, super mom had to go to Trader Joes and after talking with another mom in the same boat, I bought a Tofurkey and was VERY proud of myself Thanksgiving Day came and son sort of ate around the Tofurkey and as we were clearing the meal I asked if he wanted me to keep the leftovers (most of the tofurkey was still there). He admitted that it wasn't that good and probably wouldn't eat them. Honesty is a good thing After all the clearing was done, we remembered that we had sent the sweet beagle to the garage as she was begging too much. We found that someone had set the bag of trash in the garage instead of in the can. Luckily there wasn't much in there, mostly just junk and some crackers and such. Daisy was having a great time though and there in the corner, fully exposed and not touched was the Tofurkey loaf Now whenever we see a Tofurkey we think of Daisy and her sensible tastes

And yet, when these 'faux meat' companies manufacture the 'Tofurkey' -- it looks like a...turkey. Shouldn't that still wig out the vegetarian? And why does it have to look like meat? It could just be a block of tofu with seasoning in it.

Imagine getting yanked out of the ground, or snapped off a branch. And you don't die instantly, you still sit there ripening, looking at your exposed roots or the stump your roots were once attached to. And it's even worse for spinach. You wind up creamed.
