Nature's Earthly Choice Seven Grain Organic Grain Blend With Mock Duck

Here you see Nature's Earthly Choice Seven Grain Organic Grain Blend. This takes 90 seconds to cook in the microwave (in the pouch). This has a nice earthy flavor and hearty texture. The package says it contains brown rice, barley, millet, flax seeds, wheat, red quinoa,and wild rice.

Here you see a mock duck product I found at the Asian market. This was made in Taiwan. It's just wheat gluten. I don't really like that it's called mock duck. I'm sure duck doesn't taste like this (I have no idea what duck tastes like!). I don't buy this as a meat replacement. To me it's just another plant food. Describing this is difficult. It's not good at all when eaten alone. I always add a sauce and rice. It's bland, rubbery, chewy, spongy, and a bit salty with a slightly metallic taste. Does that sound appetizing? No. But it's good when mixed with other products. 

Here's what I did for this meal. I mixed the grain product with the wheat gluten product and added a splash of soy sauce. This is really good. Nice overall flavor and variety of textures.
