Meatless Meats: An Ancient Tradition With Recent Popularity
The first vegan butcher shop has opened in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and has become a popular stop in the area. It is an oxymoron because there are no animal products in the store, yet they sell bologna, ham, chicken and sausage -- all made with wheat gluten, yeast, soy and miso. Owners Aubrey and Kale Walch hand make these vegetable protein items in small batches to ensure freshness. Enjoyed by vegans, vegetarians and carnivores, the products taste like the real thing with the same texture as meat. They also sell deli meats and cheeses -- all vegan and tasty.
