Textured Vegetable Protein. If the name isn't enough to scare someone off, I don't know what would.

Also, sometimes it's made with wheat gluten.

Dude make pemmican, I made up about 20 4 inch cookies of pemmican and it lasted me 3 days of camping. Dried fruit, ground jerky and rendered fat. they dry into a thin sheet you can eat, I called it Lembas bread and ignored the crap everyone else ate.

i loved it as a born and raised vegetarian. i lived off this stuff and morningstar farms products. tvp is great for things like tacos, soups, pasta sauce etc because it absorbs the flavors so well.

the other day i was at my moms and my sister was cooking in the kitchen, and then there was this foul stench. i was like... what in the living hell is that?! and my mom said my sister was cooking a griller (morningstar farms soy burger) and i could not BELIEVE the smell of it, it was so foul. and to think i used to eat those things by 2's.

I used to make TVP chili which was edible with a lot of additions. A LOT of additions.

I'd bring your own food. and probably enough to share.

TVP is super nasty. Vegetarians use it to create all sorts of faux-meat dishes. (I did,when I was a veg--it was too nasty). BTW, tell your girlfriend that fish is meat and if she eats that she is NOT a vegetarian. People that say that irk me to no end. I was a veg for 13 years; vegetarians do NOT EAT ANYTHING WITH A FACE, PERIOD.
