TVP (textured vegetable protein)

[Sukh]

OK so I read a lot about TVP on exercise sites, what is it and where can you buy it in the UK?

I assume they are not talking about quorn and the like which are soya based products? (and also contain egg)

Any help?

TVP and soya are the same thing just TVP is the more American name for it

I wanna make sloppy joe's for dinner 1 day but my fiancee is vegetarian, would Soya or Quorn be better?

Theres some recipes which use mushroom or paneer instead of meat, but that would be disgusting as a burger. We already use paneer in fajita wraps, curries, etc. So im looking to broaden my vegetarian horizons. Dont think ill ever give up meat, need the protein too much for bodybuilding, but i have started eating 10 times the veg i used to.
