This has gotten very off topic
Yes. Yes it has.
However, I find it perplexing why those who choose to not eat meat point out the substitutes that are said to look and taste like meat. Why go through all that trouble? Just eat your tofurkey and let me have my red, dead, and corn fed. I don't lambast vegans for eating the food of my food, but I find it funny that my food poops on their food.
I've got a buddy of mine who grew up hunting, fishing, trapping, etc.,. We go back over 55 years being best friends (I'm blessed to have a friend from that far back!). Anyhow, we were at a men's fellowship one day...it's called a "Swamp Supper"...any thing that walks, creeps, jumps, swims, crawls, whatever is cooked. Well, we were walking around and got split up for a few minutes. I found some mountain oysters a guy was cooking up so I grabbed a few. Me and my buddy got back a few minutes later and I offered him one. Now, he's eaten most anything that has had a pulse or not, he's not really hesitant to try new things. He took a good bite of one of the 'meatballs', chews it a bit and swallows, and asks me what it was. I responded "mountain oysters"...his whole being just kind of collapsed as his mouth gaped open. He was incredulous that he had eaten a mountain oyster!! I mean, what-the-hay!!!! He's eaten everything under sun in the past. They were spiced nicely, and a nice gravy with them, and wasn't really tough though they did have a little "texture" to them. I thought they were pretty good. I just don't know what was wrong with that boy! Funny how people can be.
