Background, I have a soy allergy and I’m looking to eat less meat or possibly go vegetarian. I came across this article that includes tempeh, an item made with soybeans even by its own description.

    You could try seitan. It is basically pure gluten. People say it has a very meat like texture (I’ve never tasted meat so I cannot tell you for certain).

      Seitan is delicious. My mother back in the 70s used to bake it with onions, garlic and tamari. It was one of my favorite things to eat, rigoreus makrobiotic diet and all.

      Speaking as an omnivore, it’s not indestinguishable from meat, but it is delicious. The texture tends to be less fibrous than meat and the flavour is sometimes better imo.
