It's brilliant in things where the meat isn't the main focus of the dish - chilli, etc. One just has to remember to give it long enough to soak, and long enough to simmer, otherwise it has a tendency to be as tough as old boots.

Also, your taste buds will love you forever if you use mushroom stock in place of vegetable stock. Difficult to get hold of in the UK, but so delicious.

I'd recommend the sainsburys dried soy mince...

...just cover with your choosen seasonings and pour on boiling water and stir. The mince sucks the water in taking all the flavours with it.

Well this comment was tailored for folk who are now meat-eaters.
Beats me why a lot of things for veggies have to resemble meat products, maybe it's to fit the buns or baps that accompany.

Because mothers don't want to have to completely rejig their evening meal plans in order to accomodate their faddy 13 year old daughters?
