For vegetarians who crave venison.-- mrthingy, Dec 27 2001 Tofudebeest http://www.vegetus.org/vegtoon/tofu.htmObnoxious health antelopes [friendlyfire, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004] Croissant.-- reensure, Dec 27 2001 I crave meat-- po, Dec 27 2001 love the name. great pun.-- wess, Dec 28 2001 Are you a vegetarian, po?-- bristolz, Dec 28 2001 The problem with phony meat is that it usually tastes like phony meat. If one must eat tofu, why not quit pretending it's meat? :)
And I wouldn't want to eat venison anyway. >:p-- arghblah, Dec 28 2001 I think that most things don't taste like chicken, but maybe I'm being really naïve . . . . Maybe well-developed taste-buds discern many things to taste as chicken does. I have yet to join those rarified gourmand ranks. I think that rattlesnake tastes completely unlike the chicken it is alledged to taste like, for example.-- bristolz, Dec 28 2001 Rich doesn't begin to describe Venison Ribs. Ever had a Beefalo Burger? Yummy-- thumbwax, Dec 28 2001 Hey! This is a family show here, keep it clean!
She means 'fresh roadkill'.-- StarChaser, Dec 29 2001 Oops...I've heard roadkilled deer referred to as 'speed beef' or '-meat'...-- StarChaser, Dec 29 2001 As a person who has tried neither venison nor tofu I don't see the point.-- Helium, Dec 29 2001 I don't think you are missing much. Venison does make nice breakfast steaks, I guess. Tofu can just go away for all I care.-- bristolz, Dec 29 2001 Damn right! My office-co-resident insists on having the window open at all times, despite sub-zero temperatures and howling gales.Closer to topic, we've had the whole 'tastes like meat but is actually tofu / quorn / drywall-insulation / some-other-tasteless-mush' debate. It comes down to why a person decides to be vegetarian, and how concerned he is to taste what he eschews.Slightly further from topic, the [angel] family again had venison for Christmas lunch as is our habit, and continue to be happy with it.-- angel, Jan 02 2002 Venisoy might work! Definetly not baked yet anyway!!! Croissant for this one.-- Turkish, Jan 12 2002 Breakfast steaks? Is steak for breakfast an american thing? Seems an odd thing to have for breakfast anyway. We had a home made venison and kidney pudding with wild mushrooms. Don't think it would have been the same with Venisoy. (Plus the damn stuff makes you grow boobs!)-- dare99, Jun 18 2002 Why mess about ? Meat substitutes are just hypocritical. If you want meat, eat meat. Don't waste time and energy converting something else.
Having said that, Quorn is pretty good actually .... oh, and I actually like Tofu. But i prefer real venison.-- 8th of 7, Jun 18 2002 Hmmm, but venison - or at least that which has been hung for the requisite length of time- has a very distinct and strong flavour - would it be possible to recreate this in a soya version? The only meat-substiute type meal I've ever had is Beanfeast, and, let me tell you, that tastes *nothing* like real mince. Thank God I'm not a student any more. <shudder>-- salachair, Jun 18 2002 How about chicken which tastes like eggplant? Or ham which tastes like ratatouille? Oh, okay then.-- gizmo_man, Jun 19 2002 Venisoy, oh deer.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Nov 07 2004 random, halfbakery
