Haven't any of you heard of wheat meat (Seitan)?

Question

BTW: It's veggie (wheat protein) not animal flesh.

Answer 1

You are being a bit patronising with your question you know.

Some of us could equally say "Haven't you ever heard of real vegetables ? Its not all fake meats like seitan you know"

I think you might be better supporting people rather than knocking them.

This forum is a Q&A forum. If you don't want to answer questions or help people, feel free to walk away.

And your "why are you veggie" and "do humanitarians eat humans" questions have been asked a million times before here. Perhaps you can think about that rather than criticising others.

Answer 2

Yep, I love it.  (:

Tempeh too.

Answer 3

I'm so sorry but no I have not.

Answer 4

Mmmmm...Seitan! Yes yes yes! I finally got off my butt and made a batch of my own just a week or two ago. So delicious and SO much CHEAPER to make. (I paid $5 at Whole Foods for half the amount I made at home for the same price, ugh!)

I used the Simple Seitan recipe from the Veganomicon and used some in a veggie stirfry and some faux chikken sandwiches. Next time I'll make the recipe in the cookbook for Vietnamese Seitan Baguette sandwiches with dipping broth.It's cucumber, onion, cilantro & seitan sandwiches with a garlic, lime, ginger & red pepper broth to dip them in. It sounds SO delicious!

Answer 6

Yep, I've heard of it.

My brother used to be non-veggie and used to love duck meat...but after he turned vegetarian, he's fallen in love with seitan.....

Answer 7

Yes I've heard of it.  But I'm a bit more of a 'eat vegetables' kinda person, not a 'eat fake meat' person.

Seitan isn't bad but it is not readily available in some areas. Easy to find in cities, and in veggie restaurants, but not out in rural towns.

Answer 8

yes i heard of it....

Answer 9

I make seitan all the time from scratch (simply using normal flour) and we love it. I stir-fry it, add it to ragouts, soups, or bake it in the oven.

Answer 10

Of course I have; I had seitan in a stir fry for dinner tonight and made sausages from steamed seitan this weekend.

I don't usually see a lot of questions about it here.

Answer 11

I had it before; I think it's pretty good.

I used to buy a product called Mun Chai Ya which is essentially the same thing. But I haven't bought it for a while, kind of leery of gluten products that were made in China.

I have been a new vegetarian for 24 years. What's the deal with the flippant remark? Take that chip off your shoulder, please.
