I like their chewy, goopy texture. I wonder if I can find any. And I wonder if ground flaxseeds would be a good substitute, since they get kind of goopy, too.<br /><br /><br />* One of the reasons I went vegan was because I used to have really high cholesterol (used to because since going vegan, I don't any more, yay!). The psyllium husk drink was marketed as something to keep you 'regular,' but I guess it also lowered cholesterol.C.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11107559129094781436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-89019421887713274002013-09-08T16:03:31.159+10:002013-09-08T16:03:31.159+10:00I hear you about seitan, I'm not a big fan eit...I hear you about seitan, I'm not a big fan either. these look great!

I love how you tied it to Kel from Kath and Kim as well as the election BBQs which was just perfect timing. I'm curious about the psyllium husks in your recipe, are they crucial or could another ingredient be used in it's place. It's not something I currently have in the pantry.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.com
