it reverts back to its original form in a most unappealling manner.  The
only
accurate description I know of is, "It's like a mouth full of snot".

 I did try using some textured vegetable protein (TVP)
> to try and get a better (read less disgusting) mouthfeel,

   I may die from heart disease, high cholesterol count or whatever my
eating habits may bring, but I refuse to put anything in my mouth,
knowingly, like the above descriptions, no matter how many seconds, minutes,
hours or years it adds to my life.  YYYEEECCCHHHHH!!!!
