    I made this for my son who is Vegan. He absolutely loved it as did everyone else at the table. I didn't have currants (don't like them ) so I subsituted cranberries. It was easy and yummy.
    Also have used Quinoia instead of Bulgar. Very good. Will do this again.     - 11/27/09

    It might be good, but I don't like currants. I would like fruitcake, except it has currants in it too. Sorry. - 2/10/09

    would milk be okay to substitute here, instead of soy milk, and if so, would it make a big difference on the calories, or is it so different that I should calculate it again with milk? thanks - 7/20/08

    WOW! Really amazing flavor. If you're worried about how whole grains will taste, don't worry here. Even my picky 13 year old daughter thought it was amazing. - 11/18/07
