Just wanting something simple to bring along to add to all the wonderful sides our family makes. Thanks!

Very tasty -- it has some sort of butternut/apple "stuffing." Available at Whole Foods and (of course) Berkeley Bowl.

Looks like Whole Foods near us are not listed, but Mollie Stones might carry it. Thanks so much to everyone for the reviews & links! :-) Tue Nov 22 04:28:14 -0800 2005 1678035 0 mtm 3 1678018 Violet would you share your recipe for lentil loaf?

You could think about making your own seitan roast, though. Either use a mix or get a box of "vital wheat gluten". It's very easy--I've started making seitan strips about once per week.
