It taste just like chicken. That lines become a part of our culture to describe meat dishes that arent made with chicken, but none the less, taste almost exactly like our favorite poultry meat.

I followed the instructions to the letter, kept checking the cake in the oven when it was supposed to be cooked. But no matter what I tried they turned out either too dry, too stodgy or down right flat. There is nothing more disappointin... more...
