Heya, I wanted to ask if you know of other forms of indigenous meat alternatives like tempeh? When I mean meat alternatives, I mean prepared similar to meat, so lentils aren't it I think. I'm also aware of like mushrooms, but I'm not in a position to forage :/ but I do stock dried mushrooms at home.

Doesn't it come on clumps? How do you shape it into a solid?

Where I live, I can buy it in four different sizes/shapes, basically bolognese, meatballs, strips and small steaks.

Pretty sure, you can't shape it yourself, but the smaller sizes are cool, too. I usually don't sear those, but just cook them (often times I'll just throw them into the noodle water when the noodles are mostly done), and then I'll mix noodles and TVP and e.g. tomato sauce all into a big pot.
That way, they taste more like wheat, but you still get something chewy.

Alas, the vegan grocery I use only has it in clumps :/
