Yes, what I saw was without a doubt, very labor intensive. Your
Thanksgiving dinner sounds wonderful, Sage. People forget that
Thanksgiving is less about the food, and more about friends and family
and SHARING the wealth. It is THE Socialist holiday...ROTFLMAO!

Yes, at first eating meat substitutes that mimicked meat for me was
sort of repulsive from a food allergy standpoint: eat meat=get sick.
But since I have a lot of friends who aren't vegetarian, these
products help socially being able to offer meals that don't look or taste like they came from another planet and it also helps my friends
have easy things they can offer me as their guest. Most vegetarians
simply desire to fit in, and don't want to cause undo trouble or
panic for others.

I have a couple of raw food cookbooks and I find the recipes to be
labor intensive. I made some patties from carrot pulp (juice
extracted first) that had to dehydrate below 113 degrees in my
dehydrator for two days. Now that's *slow* food! I do have recipes
for vegetable loafs that are cooked that are wonderful, though. I am
cooking Thanksgiving (my birthday!) for some neighbors: spicy pumpkin
soup, salad with a blue cheese mint dressing, cornbread stuffing with
sage, cranberries and pecans, and Quorn cutlets and whatever veggies
and deserts our friends bring.

I saw something on the food channel that looked pretty good. It
was some kind of veggie loaf that was made of mixed veggies, pureed, then dehydrated into a slice-able loaf. It was totally
raw, and because of the nuts and whole grains in it and on it, I
would have tried it in a flash, and probably would have liked it.
The show pondered what Vegetarians eat on Thanksgiving, and that
was one of the dishes showcased.

Quorn www.quorn.com (my favorite, made from mycoprotein ie.
fungus and tastes like chicken-patties, cutlets, tenders) Morningstar Farms www.seeveggiesdifferently.com (steak strips
(husband's favorite), chicken strips, sausage patties, links,
fake bacon, bratworst and Italian sausages) Boca
www.bocaburger.com (most meatlike burgers) LightLife http://www.lightlife.com/product_category.jsp?c=deli (pepperoni,
turkey, balogna, ham lunchmeat) White Wave http://www.tofutown.net/index.php?sid=Products (wheat meat,
tempe, seitan, baked tofu, tofu)

I used to work in frozen foods, so I am familiar with these
products. The one thing I would always ask is why non-meat products
are made to look like meat if meat is so disgusting? It seems counter intuitive to me...If I don't eat cow dung, I sure as heck
don't want my food looking like cow dung, ya know? One of the
things I really liked about that loaf above is that it did not try
to mimic and therefore compete with anything else, taste wise. It
would be new and exciting flavors, all on its own.
