Breakfast in the Highlands

Heather, yes I make Seitan regularly at home. I keep wheat gluten flour around the house for it.

Thanks Robin, It's my favorite too.


I am not trying to disrespect or insult at all. Just sharing a little information, and giving my opinion.
Here is the ingredient list for Morningstar farms breakfast sausage.
I think that all these ingredients are completely unnecessary to satiate oneself at breakfast. there are egg whites and dairy product in them, so they are not vegan. if I cannot pronounce it..... I am not going to eat it.. IMHO eating this stuff negates the idea of eating for a healthy lifestyle.
Vegans and vegetarians are supposed to eat "as close to the ground as possible". I don't think it was meant as floor of manufacturing plant.

Mike, Seitan is made from wheat gluten, (which some people are allergic too and do not even know it). You might as well eat some bread

From a medical point of view...a lean piece of beef, pork, or chicken is healthier.

If you get it direct form the farm. If it's from a plant it's a crap shoot.

To the first line I chose, yes, if you're on the raw diet.

There's a little more protein and other sustenance to seitan that bread so "just eating bread" isnt quite the same effect. Many people are allergic to soy as well so does that discount Tofu?

Vegans and vegetarians are supposed to eat "as close to the ground as possible".

Please don't make sweeping generalizations or try to profess what people should or should not eat. People make individual dietary choices for a variety of reasons. I would NEVER try to tell a carnivore what they should eat. I don't understand why it seems to be acceptable to try to do that for vegetarians or vegans.

If someone wants to eat Sietan, tempheh, tofu or god forbid a fake sausage patty - it's their choice.

"keep your words you are their master, let out your words, you are their slave" -?
Let me re phrase that, I was TAUGHT that Vegans, vegetarians are to "eat as close to the ground as possible"
