Here's What I Had For Dinner - Part III - Don't quote pics!

I have to admit that I bought the seitan. But making it myself is definitely on my to-do list.
It was actually the Viana from that link, Grandeeod, only I got it in a health food shop here in Cork.
Oh no, I'm glad to hear it was shop-bought; ideally I want to try it as it is supposed to taste before I try making my own at some point
. Have you ever tried the mock duck etc. they have in cans in the asian markets? I was googling around about seitan yesterday and came across it - I've seen it loads of times in my local store but I never copped what it really was.

Its a good site to order from when I know I have vegetarian/vegan friends over for dinner and I partake myself. I cook from their recipies and really enjoy it. So I may take this brief opportunity to compliment you on many of your dishes which always look delish. A couple of weeks ago I got engaged with a Vegan on another thread and I was appalled by their militant stance. I enjoy the cuisine and I promise that next time the guys are over I will do my best to post pics of my offerings despite being a meat eater.
Thank you! Shame there's no blushing smiley I can use here.
I dislike the militants among the Vegetarians and Vegans, I find they come across as if they don't actually enjoy what they're doing, but need to inflict righteousness on others. I've encountered a few online who were as fire-and-brimstone dogmatic as any Pentecostal preacher. But thankfully they are very few and far between, and I've never had the displeasure of meeting one IRL.
People should eat what they fancy, in my view, so my militancy only extends to me usually only thanking posts with non-meat dishes
And I'm always happy to come across new things when people post their food, I've taken so many ideas from this thread already. Looking forward to seeing those pics from you.0 -

You know, I bought a tin of that years and years ago. It sat in the cupboard for a long time, as I had no idea what it would taste like, so kept putting off using it so much until I eventually forgot we had it. It got thrown out when I re-discovered it and realised it was year out of date at that point
I would definitely recommend the Viana, it had really nice taste and texture. I think it was the texture I actually liked best, I sometimes miss having something a bit chewey (like meat or sausages) in my meals. And I'm not generally the biggest fan of meat-substitutes, mostly because they are a bit on the expensive side and because I don't really like the idea of "substituting" meat in a dish. I leave it up for philosophical debate if Seitan is such a substitute, or an ingredient in its own right.0 -
Cheers for the viana recommend - I'm currently inching my way towards vegetarianism largely because I feel like such a tick for going 'aww' over videos of lovely friendly chickens and cattle then going off and eating them
Some kind of meaty-textured replacement would be a nice addition to the ingredient choices since I already like tofu. 0 -

I understand that completely! I thank a lot of veggie dishes because for us meat eaters they tend to look and taste great either as a stand alone dish or as an partner to some meat. That's not militancy Shenshen, its your thing and stick by it.0 -
