"Football Food" Hot Wangs

Football season has officially started!  One might say I'm a bandwagon fan but I don't think so.  I stick to my main ones but I do often switch depending upon how my esp. direct me.  College football is more of my forte it's a little more exciting than pros in my opinion.  I grew up going to high school football games they were the best. Would you have guess my concession stand favorite is green!  It's pickles these little busters are the right combo of salt and tart.  Hmm I should include a recipe of fried pickles yeah I think I'll add that to the itinerary of to do's and post the results and share with all you lovely folks.  Ok so back to my recipe, Hot Wangs yummy!  Once at the salon, the stylist ask how long I was vegetarian I answered her and she responded... me and my girlfriend were for a year  but she said, I couldn't give up wings.  Well honey, if you take a bite of these wangs I'm sure it will satisfy your craving.  These are a huge hit.  **Caution** as we know these aren't the healthiest because they are fried but hey at least they are cholesterol free.

I make a batch of the seitan every month and freeze it.  I have it handy whenever I want it in a short time.   You can buy 2 prepackaged but I prefer to make it myself recipe is included. You will need 2 cups worth.
