cynthetiq: texturized vegetable protein. It's the generic substitute for ground meat. Here's my assessment:

Color: brownish
Size: about right!
Texture: chewy (which, for vegetarians, is hard to find)
Residue: Due to it being a 100% soy product, the tongue does not become bathed in any kind of velvety fat.
Taste: ABSOLETLY 0! However, there does exist flavored TVPs which purport to be just like chicken or beef. Mostly these taste like old soy sauce.

That being said, it's nice to eat something chewy when you're vegetarian. but you have to mix it up with a lot of flavorful stuff to get any real enjoyment out of it.

also: is no one else disturbed by the phrase "beefy onion"? It sounds like some horrible growth on the male anatomy.
