Chicken Wings - Without Chickens or Wings

A lot of people call vegetarians or vegans who eat products that taste and look like meat "hypocrites" because they indulge in things that look like something they would never eat.

And I found a lovely alternative that allows me to get a great taste without the consequences. Omnivore-approved and the instant love of every guest at our birthday party!

mixed for a fraction of what you would have paid at the supermarket!

So. The main ingredient that should be available anywhere near you is this:
