i just want cheap blocks of TVP available in the store
we’ve had the technology to make TVP for decades, it’s a perfectly fine replacement for meat if you just marinate it a bit, why the fuck is it not bog standard?
Well it differs per country but in Europe the meat industry holds quite a foot in the door to keep profiting and growing. And tbh large cheap cattle farms have been showing obvious signs over overcrowding and diseases. And I’m not the type to buy more animal ingredients or else meat farmer gets loose. We got to think beyond our bonus.
right but like… i buy products at the store that contain TVP and taste and feel great, that’s why i’m so baffled by the lack of TVP just being sold on its own
if it was difficult to make i’d get it, but the whole point of TVP is that it’s really easy to make on an industrial scale, and since it’s clearly being sold as part of other products… It’s just absurd that no company has taken the step of selling the leftover bits on the side!
I swear to god the month that I embraced TVP and started using it in my cooking, it all got pulled from Safeway and Fred Meyers store shelves. It’s like they fucking knew. It’s like… Come on you motherfuckers it’s literally a basic and highly available food product. Please just stock it.
They sell bags of TVP here in the US for not that much if you buy it in the Hispanic section of the grocery store. I’m a little surprised to hear that’s not available in (assuming based on your instance) Germany.
it is available in sweden (my brother in christ my username has “swed” and my icon is a swedish flag, i cannot make this more obvious) but for some insane reason the only normal place to get it is apothecaries and ONE normal brand that’s only carried in a scant few grocery stores. It’s a bit irrational but i’m not fucking buying it from a drug store and it’s bloody expensive anyways.
(edit: well never fucking mind, that one normal brand stopped making it, fuck me)
i want TVP sold next to the pork cutlets, with a comparable price, pre-marinated and ready to fry.

Textured vegetable protein, so basically bacobits. Nothing wrong with that, I buy frozen veggie burgers that taste better then the ground beef ones.
