来盘“豆腐火鸡”？

2014年，美国西雅图市，市长艾德•默里(Ed Murray)别出心裁地“赦免”了一只“豆腐火鸡”。

Tofurkey (a portmanteau of tofu and turkey) is faux turkey, a meat substitute in the form of a loaf or casserole of vegetarian protein, usually made from tofu (soybean protein) or seitan (wheat protein) with a stuffing made from grains or bread, flavored with a broth and seasoned with herbs and spices.

“豆腐火鸡”(英语中“豆腐”和“火鸡”两个单词的合成词)是“假火鸡”，是使用素食蛋白质制成的肉食替代品，经常由豆腐(大豆蛋白)或面筋(小麦蛋白)制成。火鸡肚子中填充谷物或面包，用肉汤、香草和调料进行调味。

Tofurkey is oven-roasted or baked and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It can be homemade or purchased ready-made and frozen from multiple sources such as health food stores or specialty grocers, or ordered online and shipped in insulated packing.

“豆腐火鸡”用烤箱烤制而成，适合于素食者和纯素食者，可以在家自制，也可以从健康食品店或者特产杂货店等地购买成品或冷冻品。顾客还可以网购，店家会使用隔热层将食品寄送过来。
