That's funny -- I recently saw and picked up the same thing, but I haven't tried it yet. Now I'm more interested to, except for the little problem that I can't cook and any experiments I try in the kitchen pretty much universally fail ....
Hmmm. I never pictured "steak" as a salad component, or as rockin' the ranch dressing. (With, sure, but not so much in.) I was thinking more of a with-sticky-rice-and-Thai-chili-pepper-sauce kind of thing. Which maybe I'll try tonight.
With a ranch dressing. Did eating it feel like an averah? That's the real test of fake food - making something that tastes so treif you have an aversion to the food.
It sounds great with a pepper stir fry or any oriental dish.
Drummer Girl's mostly vegetarian, so I'll pass this on.
It sounds like a great way to make a chimichanga, burrito or steak fajita. :)
Oooh, now I'm getting excited. Fry it up with onions and pepper, put in a tortilla and add some sour cream and guacamole. Usually I use fake sour cream. I wonder if using real sour cream and fake meat tastes better.
Having been raised in a family of carnivores, I have a mental block against eating those things... but I'll mention it to sdavido, he likes to take stuff like that for lunch.
Here's a bizarre question -- are they pareve, or are they milchig?
Some of the meat substitutes mabfan and I have found are milchig, which is no problem when I want to use them in, say, mushrooms stroganoff, but is still odd.

I'm waiting for a good fake pepperoni for pizza nights. Right now I use imitation bacon bits and mushed up pieces of Morning Star's sausage patties.
