Is soy chicken, soy beef etc really vegetarian? how is it made? they look, smell and taste the same?!
what are they made of!? and how do they get the same taste and look of real meat!? i can understand taste by using chemicals and stuff, but they look exactly like real meat tooWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Its actually very healthy!. Its not all chemicals!.
They powder the soya bean and add some water to it and sun dry (or oven dry) these big sheets and that gives it the outer texture of that skin part!. the inside part again is grounded up/pureed soya!.
Its high on protein and contrary to popular beleif not 'bad for men'!.
Yes soy meat is vegetarian!. Its crazy how real some of the stuff tastes!
Although you might have to be careful with egg in some soy products!. Some soy has egg white since that is still considered 'vegetarian'!.

It's from something called "TVP" or "Texturized Vegetable Protein!." TVP is what it states: a thick, veggie-based protein that has been textured to look and have the mouth-feel of meat!.
They are vegetarian, some brands are vegan, and they add spices and flavors to mimic the taste of meat!. Some do a great job, others not so much!. The flavors come from stuff you would normally do to meat, like smoke it or add certain "meaty" spices, which tricks your brain into thinking that yes, it is meat!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Soy meats are vegetarian!.!. some have egg and/or milk in them, but they are made from soybeans, gluten (from flour) or other non-meat sources
Now someone could be TELLING you that a dish contains fake meat, when really it's real meat!. !.but if it's labeled "soy chicken" or "immitation" then it's vegetrarian!.
They do try to duplicate the flavor and texture!.!. sometimes they come pretty close!.
But I think, once you ask the cafeteria some questions to be sure, you should be able to try some of those fake meats!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not sure if this is sold in the UK, but look for the Vegetarian label!. Soya Bean can be textured to look and feel like meat, but why bother!? We use Quorn products from time to time and Meaty type things will help your non veggie friends, but there are so many other tastes and foods to try!.
Some food manufacturers use egg albumin or use Gelatin to get the texture part, not good for vegetarians!. Try TOFU if you want something different!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When the make soybean oil the stuff that is left over is called TVP!. This is the main ingredient in veggie meats!. They can do amazing stuff with it and with the right spices it is very good!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
