I want to do well with TVP.. Badly.. in dried form it's light and handy. I've eaten it in lots of things and appreciate it. I even like the (better brands) of veggie burger, and buy the yves veggie taco and italian "meat" on a semi regular basis and like it a lot - this stuff tastes just fine to me...

Trouble is every time I try a field capable recepie from dry TVP it ends up tasting like I threw salty grape nuts into my pasta or potatoes - I just can't get rid of the "grape nuts" taste of it.. so I fail miserably and go back to using shredded moose jerky
