Hail Seitan!
Today we’re going to talk about two delicious treats that have made me fat and happy, like Wellbutrin.
First up: Seitan. Pronounced say-tahn, this remarkable and effing bizarre food stuff is made up mostly of compressed wheat protein. This is achieved by “washing” flour which gets rid of all the pesky starch… have I lost you yet? I know, sounds grosser than gross but I swears that this shit is the real deal. Once the starch is rinsed away you knead it up nice and well, compressed and season it however the fuck you want. Then you can shape it into whatever you want, transform it like Manimal or… Mystique.
The best part? It’s not even that good for you. Especially when you fry it in the essence of deep fried lard. Cooked in a less audacious fashion, it strongly resembles the type of Kebab meat you would find on a Gyro (YEE-RO). Fried until crispy it’s the same… except fried and crispy.
I know, you’re skeptical. I was too. Until I discovered that meat was killing me and I had to 86 it from my diet or die screaming on the toilet. Satan’s Seitan saved this dirty Jew from a porcelain torture chamber, a tiled, fruity soap scented Abu Ghraib if you will. When it comes to soothing the tortured, no other meat substitute will do.
The best place in my city to get some hot, delicious Seitan is a little cafe right by 15th and Thomas called The Hillside Quickie. The staff is so fucking adorable that I have to stab them sometimes. The owner is as sweet as her vegan pie and the menu contains a vast array of sandwiches, all of them vegan.
Many of you are thinking “Who the fuck is this guy? What dungeon do you have our beloved Jody trapped in?” but I assure you, if you know me you know how picky I am and I swear on everything I hold holy, this place is amazing. .. go there now. Now, I said!
Okay fine, read the rest of this and comment profusely and send me money… then go to The Hillside Quickie. I hear there’s one in the University District but if you’re like me and you are filled with hate, don’t go within ten miles of that fucking area. Filled to the rim with brim it is… and by brim I mean dirty ass hippies. But I digress.
umm, er… oh yeah,
PANCAKES AND SAUSAGE ON A MOTHERFUCKING STICK!!!
This is the pinnacle of human civilization. These are the end days. Something this delicious has got to be bad… and a bad sign.
Eat up before the apocalypse!
ps- they come in chocolate chip now!
Simply irresistible.

I love seitan. I get it in cans from the oriental market. Vegetarian Duck is the tastiest. It has a texture comparable to fatty meat, but without the tummy ouches.

I worship Seiten. I season it with Rosemary(’s baby) and find it absolutely bewitching with Deviled eggs.
However, my body is still acclammating to my new starch free jones. Seiten give me loose(ifer) bowels somethin’ awful!
I know..I suck.

Hmmm, this stuff has potential. Come to think of it, that’s what J. Robert Oppenheimer said about that yellowish, glow-in-the-dark stuff . . . .

I’ve decided that in honor of Laurie Kendrick we should make next weekend We’re Proud of Laurie weekend. We’ll have cupcakes and jam and dance around pretty floats that look like Laurie, or, umm, Peter Lorrie and scream to the heavens, “LAURIE!!!”. Then we’ll nap. On opium.

Seitan is easily the best non-meat meat that I’ve ever had.
And I love pancakes and sausage on a stick more than is legal in some states.

Jody,
I’m flattered but please, don’t go to all that trouble. Just name your first born after me or better yet, have a vasectomy while clutching my likeness.
I do like the “napping on opium” pat however. Have hookah, will travel.
Always remember, when it came to Emmy’s, Larry Storch was ROBBED!
Indubitably,
Laurie Kendrick

Man, I forgot the subtleties in Agarn’s character! Especially when he contracts with the Indians to turn bottles into binoculars and when he gave Forrest Tucker that look of frustration and general intellectual impotence.

I do love Seitan, and pancakes and sausage on a stick…but I draw the line at chocolate chips added to either.
That’s just indecent.

Chocolate chip sausage pancakes on a stick? I can’t imagine how someone could like that. BTW, if there’s a foodstuff that’s more treyf, I’ve never seen it!
