I'd be willing to try it. My oldest son is deathly allergic to any type of poultry...chicken, turkey, duck, quail, all of it. We get tired of rarely having chicken. This might make us all happy. Of course, he could wind up allergic to microprotein, too.

---there's a fermented food made from soybeans called 'tempeh" you and your family might like. Well it's really a fungus on the beans. Sounds weird but is quite tasty, I used to eat it a lot when there was a store local that carried it. Treat it cooking exactly like you would a piece of red meat. It's MUCH better than bland tofu.

Trying making Tempah. Indonesians call it "meat without bones". It is soy beans or rice innoculated with a fungus. During WWII an Australian POW saved his fellow prisoners by innoculating their rice with it (what they were eating was polished and had no B-12, they were coming down with Beri-Beri).

Fun to prepare too. Has a yeasty bread like smell when it is growing. It can be marinated and grilled. Very tasty. Store bough is OK but home made is best (and a lot cheaper).

You might want to try some "sulphur shelf" mushroom, AKA "chicken mushroom" (not to be confused with "hen of the woods"). It has the same look and texture as chicken meat, will have the same flavor if cooked with broth.

BTW, I've heard that there's been a meat substitute made of shiitake stems for some time, used in Japan.
