* I also found this:
"There are a number of vegetarian-appropriate setting agents on the=20
market, among them agar-agar (powder or flakes from a sea vegetable),=20
arrowroot (a starchy powder from the tropical tuber of the same name),=20
guar gum (the product of East Indian seed) xanthan gum (a corn extract),=20
kudzu (a starchy powder from the plant=92s tuber), and certain ground nut=

Some of these are available in supermarkets, others require a trip to=20
the health food store or even more aggressive hunting. Follow the=20
directions on the package to see that your food sets up correctly."
