Who will have tofurkey, or a similar product, for Thanksgiving?

[guillaumeb]

We like the Trader Joe version for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Plus, I cube the remaining tofurkey loaf and add it to a split pea with vegetables soup.

1. Here

We don't eat meat at all, haven't for years and years.

2. Sweet potatoes, seitan, portobellos

a big green salad, blueberry pie for desert.

3. I would have a family mutiny on my hand if I tried

but I have tasted it before and it was not bad. Perhaps next year I will try to slip it onto the menu as an adjunct to the real turkey

4. I'll cook a Quoran meatless loaf and for leftovers I'll cube the loaf add celery, dried cranberries,

dried blueberries, scallions and enough Poppyseed dressing to cling it together and then eat it on sandwiches, preferably croissants, with some appropriate cheese. Never tried tofu turkey.

8. That sandwich mixture sounds delicious.

When I make stand alone dressing, I add cranberries and dried cherries to the mixture.

10. do you mean Quorn? Quoran is kinda different

7. It has a very firm texture.

I have brought my tofurkey/pea soup to gatherings and everyone likes it.

5. Love em!

There will be one at our big gathering and another at home for weekend snacking.

6. About half the people in my extended family are vegetarians or vegans.

It's not a big deal anymore, but when I was a kid my parents served a vegetarian Thanksgiving and it nearly started a war in our family.

We had Thanksgiving in a restaurant the following year. I suspect my grandma made the reservations as soon as she got home.

Nowadays the hunting fishing carnivores are able to coexist peacefully with the vegetarians and vegans. There have been a lot of mixed marriages in our family since then and the most militant carnivores are long deceased.

One of my nephews is a hunting fishing bacon-eating carnivore (who despises Trump, by the way...) but he doesn't freak out when meat isn't served at a meal.

My wife is vegetarian approaching vegan. I'm mostly vegetarian, but I won't turn down fish or meat, especially if someone in my family caught and prepared it.

In spite of my name, I haven't been hunting this century.

9. Our family has a similar situation.

For myself, growing up where the uncles always hunted for food, we ate venison regularly, as well as wild bird.

But I gave up meat in 1986, and while my parents still ate meat, I simply ate more vegetables. My grown daughters will eat bird meat, but no one eats beef or pork.
