One of the guys I work with ate this stuff a couple weekends ago. It is seriously a wheat-meat steak. Yes, people eat pure wheat gluten. Now I completely understand eating bread and pasta, delicious foods that happen to have gluten in them. But pure gluten? Come on …
Well, its stuff for vegans that completely steer away from eating anything made from an animal. Or vegetarians as well who just don’t like meat. I like all food, including gluten. Unfortunately gluten does not like me.
But now I wonder, perhaps I’m holier than thou? I would assume so seeing as the only food I can’t eat is called Seitan, pronounced “Satan” or say-tahn.
It looks disgusting too.
I'm Mike Kauspedas - working in IT for a small web hosting company called GearHost who loves to cycle and has to eat gluten-free. Most of my posts will focus on gluten-free foods and restaurants around Denver Colorado with a sprinkling of cycling in between some posts about technology, guides, and how-to's for web hosting.
