Would this product be considered "mock meat" or "meat substitute"? Thanks

Yes it would but it does not really have any flavor of it's own. It takes on the flavor of whatever seasoning you us. I like it in chili.

I'm sure these was created to mimic ground meat. Of course, it will not taste like meat, but really, ground beef doesn't have much flavor in chili or tacos anyway. If your dish is incredibly seasoned, you will believe it's ground beef/chicken.

it is incredibly similar in texture to ground beef or chicken if added to chili or tacos.

You'll need to contact Barry Farms for that answer. I would say it is a great substitute for ordinary sour cream.

I cannot recommend it on that basis. I do not use it as a milk substitute, only as an additive to my power meal mix.

No, you would have to wrap it in meat or something. It is also a very large pill.

It's supposed to be the type that can be left in the meat. I haven't put it to the test, but I believe the description at Amazon when i bought it implied that can be left in. They do not, however, want it left in if you are broiling.

They are kind of "berry sweet," a natural flavor that doesn't overcome the meat. I know that is not as direct as Mike's answer but I am going by the flavor. Your after taste will be the meat, not the sweet.

Yes! I've used it as a marinade on thinly sliced beef. Use a "tougher" meat.....not one that is marbled with fat!

I ordered it. Its not good for meats. You are better off with a real meat slicer. I tried with semi frozen and non frozen meats and half of the meat was chopping into bits, others were sliced. The slices did not look pretty.

I personally find this to be on par with Szechuan. so yes, it is an alternative when the paste is used for sauces in many of the Szechuan dishes. such as Szechuan Chicken. but none the less an alternative. nothing is better than Szechuan.

I have never made that, I don't know, sorry. Do you have a food you could compare that to? I'm not familiar with it.

It's definitely the real thing. Save your money. It's highly overrated. I tried it for 60 days, followed it to the letter and didn't lose one pound. I have since cut out bread, am walking and now losing weight the healthy way.

No. It is not a vegetarian product. Chicken stock is used as "Natural Flavouring" in the seasoning powder. In fairness though, as a vegetarian of nearly ten years who has eaten this product, I can say it didn't make me very sick. Any adverse bowel effects can be just as easily explained by how heavily processed the food is. Also, it is delicious.While I lived in Australia I called the customer service number to confirm what I then thought to be a rumour. It is true. The seasoning is not vegetarian.

I've tasted food prepared by several friends and it was acceptable but definitely not as good as meat that is slowly smoked in a conventional smoker. There is a trade off between preparation time and flavor. The flavor of meat cooked under pressure with steam isn't the same as meat that is dry smoked. It's like comparing boiled smoked ham with prosciutto.

I used it as more of a fill in for when I had no access to 'real food' it's a bit thin to be a meal replacement as it's not as thick as a shake. It may fill you up depending on the situation but I have to say I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose. It's more to give you the nutrients you may be missing from not eating properly all the time.I hope this helps.

I haven't tried, but it is a corn starch substitute not a gelatin substitute.
