 , , itemprop="discussionURL"6

If there’s one thing Adventists are fond of, it’s their veggie meat. And why not? Adventists were pioneers in the field of meat alternatives (aka “meat analogues.” Blech. Good thing they stuck with the other title.) Plus, though the meat is faux, the enjoyment is real. Let’s be honest: Veggie meat tastes nothing like their meat counterparts.

But don’t let that stop you from singing “Flower in the Rain” in church, teenage girls.)

Therefore we humbly present our method to creating this delectable layered feast (and by “humbly present” we mean: Do it this way or else.) So let’s make hay(stacks) while the sun shines!
