Sure thing BB. Locally we call it "Toppers" by one particular brand name. Quite famous here.

But we have a better option now. A husband and wife team started making veggie protein assemblies a few years ago, has a little soy in it, and we buy all the varieties. Delicious and as veggieterianos we are quite grateful to them for their product offering which is growing year by year. Called Fry's!!

Here is a quite famous South African food that is eaten by those down on money, but also by enthusiasts that love the style of it!!

Bunny Chow

Serves 4

Ingredients (this is off the Fry's web page!!)

2 Boxes Fry’s Vegetarian Chicken-Style Strips or Chunky Strips
2 large Onions, peeled and chopped
4 cloves Garlic, peeled and finely grated
1 piece Ginger, peeled and finely grated
115g Tomato Paste (small tin)
400g Whole Peeled Tomatoes (large tin)
6 Fresh Tomatoes, chopped
2 Tblsp Curry Powder of your choice
Sugar to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 Loaf of white bread
4 mini Bunny Loaves
Oil for frying
1 bunch Coriander, washed

Method

1) Fry the onions, garlic and ginger until softened and golden, add the curry powder and combine.
2) Add the tomato paste, whole peeled tomatoes and fresh tomatoes.
3) Add 1 cup of water and season.
4) Allow the mixture to simmer and the fresh tomatoes to soften. The sauce should have reduced to a runny porridge consistency, check the seasoning and add sugar to remove the tartness of the tomato.
5) Fry the Chicken-style or Chunky Strips in a little oil for 6-8 minutes and add to the sauce.
6) Prepare the bread by hollowing out the middle and fill it with the curry. Garnish with chopped coriander.
7) Serve with condiments of your choice.

1 Small Glass Red Wine
Vegetable Stock

When I was young and we lived in Oklahoma, my Mama made this for us for breakfast during the winter. It is a wonderful, filling, creamy concoction for a cold day. She added sugar and raisins before serving. There was always a small cream pitcher on the table, too.

East Texas HATES this recipe 1) it uses instant or minute rice ("not real rice") and 2) it is sweet. Redbone from North Louisiana - only eats his rice with gravy! :roll :crazy

Breakfast Rice

1 1/2 c. Minute Rice
2 1/2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix in pan; bring to boil. Stir constantly over medium heat until creamy. Serve with sugar and milk. Makes 5 servings.
