Sorry...  I started something and then went away!  In my defense, work is crazy this week.  :(

No apologies necessary!!!  We figured it out!!  Thanks for sharing!!!  But......does it have a taste?

Tia

It has a very light nutty taste.  (Extremely light.)  It really can take on the flavor of whatever it is with.  If you cook it in chicken broth, you have a ground chicken consistency.  If you cook it with taco seasoning you have taco flavor, etc.  Reconsituted, it has the texture of very fine ground meat.  I just ate some dry and plain and it tastes a lot like cheerios or rice krispies to me. 

(Edited-  to "It has a very light nutty taste."  I acutally has a very nummy taste!  LOL)

you can also buy it frozen (check the morning star farms area)  and make great chili with it.

I saw that.  I have only dried the dry kind.  :)

They also have already flavored:
