These look great but I usually add a bit of cauliflower to mine for texture.

I added some liquid smoke to mine. Worked great!

Excellent. Very troughable.

I'm not vegan, but I think I will try this! No nuts, so I can have it. I've had some sausage substitute made with wheat flour and the texture was pretty off putting to me... Hopefully the TVP holds up better.

We have frozen vegan "shapable mince" from several brands in almost all stores here in Sweden, usually 1kg (36oz) for about $8. I always have it at home, thaws quickly and has better texture than anything else I've bought (like dried TVP) or made myself (spent years trying and creating different recipes). I must have tried over 10 different brands by now and know which ones work best for whatever I'm making.
The most common is soy-based but I mostly get ones from pea or bean protein, fewer people in my life have sensitivity towards those.
I've had several meat eaters drop their doubtfulness of how good vegan mince can be by making them everything from classic Swedish meatballs to cevapcici, meatloaf, burgers, kebab skewers etc (only mentioned "shaped mince" stuff here because of the post).

There are few things I love more than blowing the minds of people who are sceptical towards vegan food.
