Made my bulk shopping trip to COSTCO to stock up on my staples, Bolthouse carrot juice, fresh avocados, apples and as usual, I got few other odd items. Yesterday, I got something new, though.

It's a locally produced vegan product I'd seen a few times but didn't get, called 'vegetarian sausage.' Generally I don't 'romance the meat,' but when I saw the list of ingredients I thought I'd try it.

The company is called the 'Original Field Roast Grain Meat.' It said the 'grain meat' is wheat, but it didn't say which one. It claimed to contain 25g of protein per serving.*

In the package are three flavors of rather large links, 'Smoked Apple Sage, Spicy Mexican Chipotle' and 'Italian With Eggplant.' Each one has some gluten and torula yeast with obviously different vegetables, herbs and spices in each variety. I'm planning to freeze them and then saute each one in coconut oil over a period of time.

*I'm wondering if it's 'emmer farro' wheat which I stumbled onto earlier in the day from my favorite raw foodie store buying some grains, chia seeds, etc. It was called Emmer Farrow Caprese Salad and it was great and I bought the ingredients to make it at home. The recipe is posted in C & B.
