I found it to be a pure vegetable pre- paration , made from Semolina of the finest quality , enriched by the addition of a vegetable proteid of high flesh-forming qualities . The analysis shows the product to be equal to butchers' meat in flesh-forming properties , with the additional advantage of a . due proportion of digestable carbo-hydrates .
