JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out
Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

I use Egg Replacer. It is made by Ener-G Foods. Ingredients
Potato Starch, tapioca starch flour, leavening (calcium lactate [not derived from dairy], calcium carbonate, citric acid [corn derived]), sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose

I have often wondered if Egg Replacer expires as I have had the same batch for several years. I only use it about once a week when I make my waffles. So far I haven’t had any problems.

Hi, Andy,
Thank you for your comment - the okra slime idea is intriguing.... How do you get it out of the okra, though - is there a trick to it?

P.S. - Sadly, Friends of the Earth is no longer; and Doug Brendles I believe was sold to another health-food store, and has now moved to a new location on Hanes Mall Boulevard, across from the Wynnsong movie theater and Wal-Mart.

I have used a powdered product known as “Egg Replacer” but I can’t remember the ingredients. I tablespoon or so of the stuff was equivalent to one egg in recipes. I think I bought it at Doug Brendles or Friends of the Earth at Reynolda (have they survived the onslaught of Whole Foods?). It works well.
Another tip a friend of mine thought up was to use okra slime to coat things where egg batter is called for, especially in baking or frying. Like dip a piece of squashi in okra slime then roll in flour/seasoning mix before frying up squash fritters. Works nice plus you can cook the other parts of the okra and eat it too!
