High protein snack with some flavoring problems

This is a filling snack that doesn't quite deliver in the taste department. I'm not a vegetarian, so it's hard for me to compare this strip to other meatless options. Compared to real meat, the texture here is breadier than I'd like. The soy flavoring isn't overly salty--that's a bonus. However, at 334mg, it has 14% DV of sodium; a 1oz bag of Lays Potato Chips has only has 180mg of sodium! Good amounts of fiber (6g) and protein (6g). The "natural vegetarian spices" offer a slow burn at the edges of your tongue. A better title would be Sweet & Spicy. The spiciness and slightly sticky soy coating almost distract you from the realization that the strip has very little overall flavor. Once you start chewing, you'll be left wanting more--maybe an acidic flavor? I wanted to suck on a lemon after eating this snack! I'd eat it again when in need of a transportable protein fix, but it would be hard to pick it up for taste alone.
