We've all seen things that are marketed as food, but for which we have had our doubts. Tang immediately comes to mind, as does at least half of the Arby's menu. But once in a while you encounter something that just completely stops you flat. That was the case for me on Monday, when I encountered a '"food" called "Unflavored Brown Color Chunks".  Yes, it is a soy-based meat substitute. It always struck me as odd that people who profess to not want to eat meat have so much food where the intent is imitate meat as closely as possible.* What sort of weird food-like items have you encountered recently? Oh, and if Brown is too intense for you, they also offer an Uncolored version.  *I understand the ethical dilemma that many vegetarians have, in that they like the idea of meat, but don't like the idea of factory farms, etc. I just find it amusing that vegetarians often work so hard to imitate something they refuse to eat. Seeing "Unflavored Brown Color Chunks" also puts me in mind of the "Food" that appeared in the film "Repo Man". Genesplicer fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Sep 21, 2017 |

It's TVP. It's a meat replacement and a meat extender. Better than wood pulp, I think.

I have always wondered why people who don't eat meat need a meat replacement. Whose meat are they replacing?

Pretty sure it's in a lot of meat products already. Like ground meat stuff served en masse. How much was it?

Fake meat weirded me out for the longest. I don't get why...like, if you aren't grossed out by meat, why don't you eat it? I like stuff that isn't pretending to be meat. A bean patty, tofu. I have had nice fake orange chicken at one of those cult vegan restaurants -- man, I didn't like that sort of thing before, but turns out anything fried and served with a nice sauce is usually delicious! The fake 'deli slices' gross me out, but I didn't want to eat the real deal to begin with. The weirdest of them all to me are the hot dogs, because hot dog -- the basic kind -- most of that stuff is seasoning. So sometimes eating a 'not' dog is just...I keep wondering if it really is meat. In closing, TVP is probably in meat chili you eat already. Seriously.

I.C. posted:Fake meat weirded me out for the longest. I don't get why...like, if you aren't grossed out by meat, why don't you eat it? With hot dogs it's mostly a social thing. My friends are having a BBQ and eating lovely sausages like true Australians so I bring my veggie sausages (which we call crayons). I generally dislike fake meats though. Anything aiming to imitate red meat tastes disgusting, both in and of itself and also because it often tastes like actual meat which I dislike. Fake chicken can actually be pretty good though, but not very healthy so I don't have it all that often. These chunks look like they are probably intended to be used similarly to the more familiar granulated form of textured vegetable protein, where it is meant to replicate function but not really taste of meat in things like asian noodle dishes and stews.

I am sorry to interrupt this thread, but we have an urgent breaking news story directly related to brown chunks: http://denver.cbslocal.com/2017/09/19/colorado-springs-mad-pooper/ Colorado Springs law enforcement is on the hunt for a woman known only as: THE MAD POOPER  Mother/victim posted:They are like, ‘There’s a lady taking a poop!’ So I come outside, and I’m like … ‘are you serious? Are you really taking a poop right here in front of my kids?!’ She’s like, ‘Yeah, sorry!'” Have any of you seen this woman? Be on the lookout for THE MAD POOPER!
