ALL of my seven sisters have become veggie nut cases although
fortunately their kids have not succumbed. So, I was naturally
skeptical to see a vague meat-looking waaaaay too symmetrical blob
covered with gravy and dressing at Thanksgiving AND, there was an
identical one next to it. Yeah, sorta meat-like texture but no
internal structure. I just had to ask, Yup, it was Tofurkey and to be
nice I had to take some. If you smothered it with enough gravy and
had a few drinks, MAYBE you could accept it.
Fortunately, my brother had made some smoked turkey and brother in law
made some smoked mullet.
I have never ever met a vegetarian who was NOT a nutcase. If this is so
good for you, why is it that the practitioners of it are so agressively
adamant about it? It seems to radically change their internal
chemistry,
and dominoes into their personality. Some of these people who you would
think eat nuts and berries turn into people with the personality of
grizzly bears.

Just MHO, YMMV

Sure thing... grease burgers are heart food.
I went without eating beef for 15 years, not because of my health but
because of the perversity of supporting a system that plunders our
country's resources.

Vegetarians, in my experience, are more likely to be aware of their
own health and the health of the environment. No wonder the Bigot
Steve doesn't understand them.


I've never been a true vegetarian but I've cut way down on meat. Sushi is my
favorite, but a burger or roast can't be beat sometimes.



Sushi! Did you say sushi! :) We love fresh sushi. Got a left coast
trip coming up soon and plan to satisfy that sushi appetite.

We seem to be eating a lot more poached fish and baked and broiled
chicken and turkey than we used to...probably go a week or even two
without eating beef.

That's good. Poached is awesome when done right. Got to be careful
about fish selection w/overfishing. Good news for some species of
salmon out here that are making comebacks.

Do you prep a sauce for fish or seaon in any way when poaching?
