We've done what we could... :) And we'll continue to do what we
can..... ;)

Exactly, and supporting our older members as
best we can is important.

Quite agreed... :)

Especially as we ourselves become the older
members ... but where is the new generation
to follow in our footsteps and clean up?

I've wondered that on many an occasion myself....

Actually, it's an important component of
transitional vegetarian cooking, flavored
up to be meat of various kinds, for those
who aren't ready for the real thing. There
are also nonmeatlike uses including see below.

Not appropriate for celiacs, though...

According to Medscape, the incidence of
celiac disease is 0.5 to 1.26 percent, way
lower than the 2-5% reported for peanut
allergy and way, way, way below the worldwide
65% estimated (by the NIH) for lactose
intolerance. I generally don't allow for
gluten intolerants unless they (or more
usually their parents) remind me first.

Interestingly, I'm aware of more people with gluten issues than I am of
those with peanut allergy... but that's probably mostly the population
around me.... that seems a bit high on the lactose, even for worldwide,
but I do know quite a few people with that, even in my small circles...

fake meat's not so great a thing either, AFAIC.... in the Buddha's
Delight, I'd just as soon have the tofu cubes as the gluten balls... ;)

To me, ordinary tofu wouldn't go in this dish,
but fried tofu could substitute for the gluten,

I'd be happy enough with the fried tofu... ;)
