This sounds more like my church than yours

Really?

"And this food is called among us Εὐχαριστία [the Eucharist], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined. For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh."

Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? Matthew 15:17

There was no OFFICIAL teaching of transubstantiation until that nasty old Fourth Lateran Council (1215)

There was no official doctrine of that until that council ...looking at the church fathers one sees differing opinions on the Lords table..some in agreement with the Roman church and some with the reformers..

The Didache calls the bread and wine food and nothing more...

One more time..The NT church had no priests, no mass, no altar, ...the NT church looked more like my church than yours
