It's got yeast and gluten and spices in it---you mix it, let it rise like dough, then bake and slice and cook.
--that's what I've gotten from the recipes I've seen on line and what the chef at the bar we go to told me.

The ones I've had are very spicy---not hot spicy, but flavorful spicy. It has a meaty taste, but is light at the same time.
