It is a product made by fermenting soy beans. I eat it fairly regularly, it can be pre- pared in many different ways, but I enjoy it fried myself. It is mild tasting and goes very well in a sandwhich. It is available in most health food stores (at the usual rip-off prices), but I buy mine at a cooperative. It is a very old soy product used in eastern countries for years, the bacteria is available from the federal government if your really serious. If there is some genuine interest I will post more info on request. Ray Benash
