I never thought I would cook with TVP. There. I said it. I lived in a co-op for an entire year with a bin full of TVP and never touched it once. After all, what would I do with that spongy tasteless stuff known as Textured Vegetarian Protein or TVP for short? What would I make with it? Why would I not just cook with meat? I got my answer when I entered into a life of post-graduation poverty. I have not bought meat to cook with since being here. Instead, I eat meat when I’m out or when someone else cooks it but I never buy it myself because I’m trying to cheaply, and creatively acquire my protein without meat. But I digress.
