Hi, Doreen. I remember soy flakes. I think they were basically squashed soy beans. I used to throw a handful into soup. They cooked up quickly, soaked up the taste of the soup, and had a pleasant texture. They could probably be used in place of pasta in minestrone, come to think of it. They might make a good pasta substitute in general, though they'd be quite heavy. Mac and cheese? Hmmmm. More ideas!
