There’s soy in SO much stuff these days most folks who are allergic already know (and I usually ask before I invite them for dinner - and before you say anything - then I don’t use it :-)).

Unless it was me. Then you’d use double, right?

Wow. You’re just a fountain of straight lines today.

So glad to give you some fodder!

Uh, beef doesn’t really have a carnivorous nature. To the best of my knowledge anyhow, cows only eat plants….

Hmmm… my understanding is that cows who are fed bovine parts are the ones getting mad cow disease! It’s routine practice to use dead cows in the feed. (Not that the cows would naturally eat meat, so in that sense you’re right!)

It tastes just like chicken.

(OK. No it doesn’t, but wow…. Talk about handing a guy a straight line….)

I’m thinking there’s gotta be a better way than that to find out about the allergy. (Note to self: Always have an epi-pen handy any time Amy’s cooking. Just in case.)

but folks who don’t know you used it in a recipe are often unable to tell the difference (unless of course they’re allergic to soy in which you’ll probably be driving them to the hospital).

As for the chocolate chip mashed potatoes… hmmm, people think what I eat is odd!
