Honeyville's Flavored-Like Ham Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) is actually a meat analogue product made through a special extrusion process which provides a 100% vegetable product that approaches the taste and texture of meat. This highly nutritious vegetarian meat substitute is processed from defatted soy flour which contains more than 52% protein and 18% total dietary fiber. TVP has been used for many years in U.S. Food Nutritional Service programs and has been an integral part of the School Lunch program. Because of the recognized health and nutritional benefit of soy protein in the diet and the added benefit of low moisture and low fat content, Honeyville Flavored-like Ham TVP is an ideal product for long term food storage and emergency preparedness.
Shelf-Life: Ham Flavored TVP will store for 10 to 20 years in a sealed #10 can (oxygen absorber included) under ideal storage conditions (cool, dry place).
Instructions: Add one part textured vegetable protein to one part hot water. Allow ham TVP to hydrate for about 15 minutes. Adding ½ cup textured vegetable protein to ½ cup of water will yield about 1 cup of cooked meat substitute.
Uses: Ham Flavored TVP can be used separately or in combination with meat as an effective meat extender in salads, soups, casseroles, pizza toppings, and more.

I ordered this and tried it even though some of the reviews seemed negative.
I made a ham, vegetable and bean style stoup. Stew/soup.
It was delicious. The taste was throughout the stoup. Lightly. I added a touch of 'ham base', called 'better than boiullon'. That made it excellent. Along side with a small, hot, fresh baked bread, My spouse did not know it wasn't ham, didn't ask, and said the stoup was 'very good'.
I haven't tried it with eggs or in a burrito etc. But I'm going to.

Tastes and Smells Funny

I bought some of the ham flavored TVP along with some chicken and beef flavored TVP. The smell of the ham is quite strong. It smells like the liquid smoke stuff you can get to flavor meat. Frankly, my wife won't eat it and she doesn't even like being in the same room when I am using it in a recipe.
I've used it in omelets and bean soup. I'll use it up for my own meals when the rest of the family has something else. I don't mind it THAT much, and (frankly) I paid for it.
Another issue I have with the ham is the nutritional content. Compared with the beef and chicken it has the lowest amount of protein per serving and the highest percentage of calories from fat. If my memory serves me: 1/4 cup serving has 90 calories with 40 from fat and 8 grams of protein. The beef, on the other hand, has 80 calories with 20 from fat and 12 grams of protein.
I realize that this review dogs the ham. However, I am extremely satisfied with the beef and chicken. I guess that this portion of the review should go in the beef/chicken reviews. I use the beef in sloppy joes, spaghetti, burritos, and chili. I've used the chicken in burritos. Usually, I mix them half-and-half with real meat, but sometimes I use them alone. Either way, they are good.

Out of the can these are tasty. They will be good on a salad like bacon bits. After reconstituting in hot water they are Bland. At first, I was disappointed. I decided to try to make powdered eggs and ham. I heated some olive oil in a non stick skillet and added the reconstituted ham pieces. I cooked them until there were some that were crispy kinda. Just like if you cooked ham and got the browned edges. I then added reconstituted eggs and fixed like scrambled eggs and ham. My husband has requested this three times in the last week! You can make an egg sandwich which is very good. The "ham" pieces are excellent, even without the egg. I have put the hot cooked ham on bread with a slice of cheese and mayo. Ok, thats not emergancy rations but very good none the less. I think the key is to cook the reconstituted bits before adding to other foods. Perhaps there is something in them that carmelizes. I'm not really sure. I have not tried mac and ham and cheese but it is an idea. I didn't think these were exceptionaly salty but I like salt. The odor is strong but not unpleasant. Just like cured ham (almost). I really didn't detect a "soy" taste which I was expecting. In some bites it was very faint. These went from emergancy rations into my cupboard for everyday use.

Not as good as the Beef

Have been getting the soy-beef granules for a while, decided to branch out and try the Ham and Chicken varieties.
Not terribly impressed with the Ham so far, extremely strong smell when the can was first opened, and it has an excessively salty taste - more like salt cured pork. :)
Wife and I are trying to rehydrate once, drain, and then rewash with water to see if the smell and taste become more subtle, but for now, I'll be buying the Beef, and the existing can of Ham I have may be a while in emptying.
