Raven,
My mom would also slice the Nuteena and put tomato sauce on it! But she would fry it, not bake it. Thinking about it now, it seems gross, although I sort of liked it at times.

Nuteena with tomato sauce, YUK! Although I'm not sure whether that is better or worse than gluten patties with tomato sauce, GAG!
Having not been raised with these "special" meals, I found them particularly difficult to adjust to as an adult. I can't count the number of times I stopped for a burger on the way home from dinner at the inlaws. |

Hehe. I have never had gluten patties with tomato sauce. Just the thought of that makes me sick! I can't even think of anything grosser! Those two things would not mix well AT ALL--gross!!

H-m-m-m--my grandma used to make homemade gluten and serve it baked in some kind of creamy sauce--not tomato. It actually was kind-of good. (I guess it's kind of like the secret of French cooking--the secret is in the sauce. That gluten all on its own could never compete with fresh roasted turkey, for instance!)
Nuteena--now, that was one vege food I never really cared for. Richard, though, loved it with tomato sauce. It must depend on what our mothers cooked when we were little...(my mom never cared for nuteena, so I guess I missed the window of time when I could have learned to love it!)

You as sooo right Colleen, the secret is in the sauce. I can eat gluten fine when it is prepared with a good sauce (although chicken breasts in that same sauce would probably be much better IMO). Unseasoned tomato sauce (because too much seasoning might over excite us) is NOT the ideal choice of sauces. Neither is pimento spread on a gluten patty sandwich. Recently my B-I-L took (self-prepared) dehydrated gluten on a back packing trip. He said he ate it like jerky. I wasn't along but it sounded a little too much like the chew toys we buy for our dog. |

I agree, Ric, rather like edible rubber bands if you think about it. Homemade gluten, without some sort of seasoning, a lot of it really, tastes like chewy flour. |

I disagree with the "edible" part, but the "rubber bands" part is right on!  Fri-chik even has little things in it that look and feel (and taste, except for the salt!) just like rubber bands!

My Mom would make enchiladas with LL vegetarian burger. She put in the burger onions, garlic, cumin and oregano with cheese. She made her own sauce, which I finally learned to make. When she fed these vegie enchiladas to non SDAs, they would tell her the food was delicious and what kind of hamburger did she use as it was so tender. I have learned to make those enchiladas also. I have also learned to make chicken enchiladas. My sister taught me how to make the stringy chicken. I make vegie enchiladas for my son, but now I can also make the non vegie kind.
Thank God our food is no longer a salvation issue.
God is awesome.

I read all of the above about sports and kids gifted in this area. My son was not gifted in sports, but as he got to the point where he could read, he really liked airplanes, especially those from WW2. From the age of 11/12 he wanted to be an Air Force officer. He would ask me why God gave him such interests and the church taught SDAs should not go into the military. Thank God He gave me the answer. I told my son, I did not know. That he should talk to God about it and let God lead him. Well he talked to God and now he is an Air Force officer. It is a shame that SDAs cannot fulfill their God given talents except where EGW/parents/church leaders say they can. There was an older youth in the SDA church I attended at the time. He told me, when he heard of my son's interests, that he wanted to be military, but because of the church's teachings he did not pursue it. I told him to pray about it. I do not know what happened to himm.

Just couldn't resist this. My aunt would prepare for a party that included SDA's and regular folk, by frying up her chicken with plenty of seasoning and fat (source?). Then she would drop in her gluten patties, people would rave about how tasty the vegemeat was!
Then once we went on a picnic with my sister and she had included sandwiches that were made of something "mock". Her boyfriend took one bite and said "stop, don't let the kids touch this, the meat is spoiled". Somehow we all survived and probably with more good childhood stories to tell than others. |

Ha! Insideoutsider, I love your stories! Your meat is spoiled, indeed! I can well imagine that your aunt's gluten patties which shared the chicken's grease were delicious.
I've often thought that chopped chicken in my holiday "mock turkey" recipe would REALLY taste good--better than with fri-chick in it!
