I often throw the large TVP chunks into boiling water in hopes of
hydrating them more quickly than letting them rest in cold or room-
temperature water. However, it has a tendency to foam up quite
suddenly, seemingly well before boiling temperature. Is there a dash
of something I can add to prevent this?

Why are you using an acronym so that nobody knows what the hell you are
talking about??

Tried it once! From the taste, "textured vinyl" is about right!

TVP sounds better than 'toe jam' which, if you look at it, it bears more
than a striking resemblance to. I would say tastes like as well, but I am
not a conniseur of fine toe jam.

Lots of faux food products coming out these days from the Agribiz cartels.
Your link references another, Future Food with an article on cultured meats
http://www.futurefood.org/in-vitro-meat/index_en.php

Similiar subject to one that came out in Feb in Beef mag:
http://beefmagazine.com/mag/beef_testtube_meat/

To quote Jason Matheny, lead author of a paper on in vitro meat production
in a June 2006 issue of the scientific journal Tissue Engineering,..."When
people ask me if consumers will accept this kind of meat, I think, 'yes,
look at what they already accept.'"

Beer brewers sometimes add a little vegetable oil
to prevent boiling over. That might work for you.

Only totally inept dunderheaded brewers!

A boil-over, or hot break, can be knocked down with a couple blasts from a
water spray bottle or your garden hose, just until the hot break subsides,
which is in seconds, not minutes. There are also several "foam control"
agents which are completely inert that will accomplish the same thing and
negate the need to "watch the pot boil".

I didn't know what it was, either. I think it might be better used in
livestock feed and "special meals" for prisoners serving life
sentences.
