Tofurky - weirdest vegan version of turkey

Dav bought this box of Tofurky when I was in Japan thinking it'd be a quick yummy meal. It takes 1.5 hours to bake, you need to add veges, make the basting sauce, and gravy. Not super quick.

It's been in our fridge for quite some time. If I'm going to spend 1.5 hours baking, I'd rather do something else than deal with this round lump of tofu. But finally...on a rainy Sunday evening, I gave it a go.

Well...it tastes as weird as it looks. Frankly, a NO-GO for me, although I could understand for a vegan, if they wanted a warm, rather heavy rump of something, this might fit the deal. I never cook meat at home so the fact that it wasn't turkey per se didn't bother me. I liked the basting sauce, the veges that baked with the thing, and the vegan gravy...but I made all that. The lump of stuff...remained a lump too much for me. I had to cover the final dish with tons of gravy because it was needed, but then it looked like a heap of unappetizing gravy. Dav was rather OK with the dish though.

It was such an unlike-me-thing to cook that I was fascinated, and thus took pictures. I'm glad we're not vegan : )
