You took the words right out of my mouth.

I've been too afraid of making my own seitan, but I used to go to a little cafe in Columbus when my sister was at Ohio State that made vegetarian gyros out of seitan and they were FANTASTIC! In fact, thinking about it makes me want to try and make them at home.

Seitan's most interesting aspect is probably the very chewy, uncannily 'meat-like' texture it has -- so, it's a good sub for some of those old-style, 'comfort food'- type recipes many of us grew up with ('beef stew', 'sweet and sour', 'barbecued ribs', 'pot roast', etc). There's lots of info about seitan online -- here's a link that might explain further: http://www.ellenskitchen.com/recipebox/wheaties.html

Armywife, haven't heard from you in a looooong time! How's the vegetarianism going?

I'm in total agreement with you.
