Also from the article:

What's Tofurkey?

• Tofurkey is a pre-cooked meatless turkey alternative made with organic non-genetically engineered soybeans.

• Tofurkey products are made from a combination of organic tofu and vital wheat gluten made with all-natural, vegan flavors an no msg or hvp.

• Tofurkey is certified vegan by the UK Vegan Society. The product uses nongenetically modified or organic ingredients and are packed in 100 percent recycled paperboard packaging.

UGGGHHHH! Tofurkey?!?! How disgusting! Rest assured vegans, I have a great turkey stuffing recipe in which the turkey is stuffed with veal. How does that sound to you? For every turkey that you hugging vegans don't eat, I will cook an additional turkey just to make up for the deficit. I love all animals...because they are so delicious.

How do you tell the difference between the product and the packaging?

more recently, is a vegan, a lifestyle that avoids using or consuming all animal products.

Am I missing something about where cream comes from?

Picked up birdzilla yesterday: 23 pounds.


My "crunchy con" sweetheart wife was less than impressed.

I would happily invite Margie Garrett to my home on Thanksgiving for dinner. She could listen to Adam Sandler's 'Thansgiving Song' while I heap loads of turkey meat and veal dressing onto her plate.

Check out Sandler's turkey day ditty at:

Birds of a feather flock together. There is less than a standard deviation between Margie Garrett's IQ and a turkey's IQ.

I was thinking of deep-frying my tofurkey cajun-style this year.

poor little turkey

My foot, vegetarians who claim moral superiority really get up my nose.

Tofurkey is not bad tasting at all.

Go ahead and eat all the turkey you want....I will abstain.... LOL!

This is what makes America great! ;)

"I would love to have one as a pet turkey some day."

That's "companion turkey" you condescending speciesist dirtbag!

[MadIvan]

I'm a vegetarian for health reasons. There is a history of diabetes in my family, and a diet of this kind helps me avoid those problems.

But this choice, which reflects my personal circumstances has to do with health, not a moral stance. Go ahead and kill that turkey - it's too stupid to know not to stand out in the rain. :)

Uhhh .... No, thanks.

2 Turkeys.

20 quarts of Peanut Oil.

1 small tank of propane.

1 large pot and burner.

Pumpkin Ale stays in the icebox until AFTER the turkeys are done.

Even here in San Francisco some people think it is a bit much; on the train during summer before the 4th of July I overheard a girl telling a friend "and I told him NO TOFU, I want ribs on the barbque".

[cyborg]

I should have followed you!

The pumpkin ale should opened and ceremoniously consumed at the moment you start the flame on your burner.
