[Sca-cooks] cooking holiday choke that Muse!

[margali]

i am frequently looking for a mouth feel more than an exact 
substitute...like i love the wet crunch of celery, an sometimes i just 
want that specific crunch. there is a paricular comfy foodness 
associated with smashies, and i get the need for that mouth feel 
sometimes, and fauxtatoes fits the bill. Although the macfoo [tofu, egg 
and velveeta cheese] does feel and taste exactly like kraft mac n cheese=)
