“a starchy, disgusting-looking dough-type product”

Hello, wheat gluten. Protein, not starch. Protein, in fact, with the starch washed out. “Processed” by washing the starch out of flour. Tofu is more processed.

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase kielbasa sausages here in the UK, either in-store or online? I’ve looked everywhere and surfed the net to no end. I’m pulling my hair out!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to serve them at my husband’s 50th - I have a great recipe for them.

Many thanks,
Sheri

If you are truly polish, and like myself used to make your own kielbasa, do not try it. It will make you want to give up your heritage.

Cut up an onion, some mushrooms, a bell pepper (or use the frozen slices), a couple Tofurkey sausages, fry them all up, serve with pasta. Voila, an easy meal.

The Italian flavor is pretty good in pasta sauce.

I feel different about the Tofurky kielbasa…I had it on a roll with sauerkraut, ketchup and some mustard and I didn’t think it was that great. In fact, I was dissapointed! Now, I didn’t do it on the grill, I put on the skillet, but still!

Hi, I’m Polish too and dying to try out the Tofurky’s kielbasa and other sausages. Unfortunately, their products don’t seem to be available in the UK. I like Tesco’s Hot Dog Frankfurters and although they are edible I’m not recommending them because of the awful sounding ingredients. There are 2 other companies in the UK selling vegetarian sausages in the mainstream stores but taste-wise don’t compare to old good kielbasa.
I would appreciate any pointers to some tasty sausages!

I’m Polish and I like kielbasa very much (actually - kie�basa), especially when it is taken straight from the camp-fire :) I can’t even imagine eating anything like “Vegan Kielbasa”

So, bread starts out as a starchy, dough-type product. And, there’s muffins and dosas and mashed potatos with celeriac… I could go on.

While you’re eating your cheese, px, think about what rennet is.

I, for one, will definitely try the kielbasa, and I’m really happy there’s now an Italian sausage that’s not Boca. (I call them ’snausage’. :)

Boy, somebody’s feeling snarky today.

I don’t quite understand what about that is a revelation… sure, we all realize that processed foods are… processed. But I’d rather eat processed vegan food than processed meat. Significantly less disgusting.
