You're right -- vegetarians do not eat chicken broth either. Every so often

there are recipes that get posted that contain chicken broth, but it is with the

understanding that vegetable broth or imitation chicken broth be used as a

substitute. Many people will make a note of this before the recipe and post the

recipe " as is " so as not to edit someone else's original recipe. Others will go

ahead and edit the recipe (that's what I do).

I would actually *prefer* that the recipe not state " chicken broth " and that

the poster go ahead and edit it to say " vegetable broth " or " imitation chicken

broth " . The only reasons being so that those who don't know what's going on

won't think that vegetarians eat chicken broth and so that the poster will avoid

getting a bunch of e-mails from people about it.

Those of us who have been on the list for a long time know that the person

is only submitting the original recipe, without any editing, and that chicken

broth is very easy to substitute. There are lots of recipes that are all

vegetarian except for this one item, and it is easily substituted for a pretty

much identical item. This is pretty much where the line is drawn.

Does this make sense?

I read Karen Greenlee's explanation of the vegetarians. In it she rightly

claimed that vegetarians do not consume animal flesh. So I am wondering why

things like chicken broth are acceptable in recipes on this lists since it

takes the animal's carcass to make the chicken broth. Any thoughts?

Query, please: I know vegetarian " fake bacon " is kosher, but is anyone

here

bothered/offended by the taste of it in a recipe? (I mean on grounds

of what i suppose

one could call psychological /kashrut, /not based on a general

objection to fake

meat.) I have a good recipe to share, but not if it's gonna taste too

close to

/trayf /to be any fun. :)

 

I ask because I was still a churchgoer in the days when the Church

still barred

meat on Fridays. I admit it: I felt some angst over veggieburgers.

Not sure, Rain. I think I wouldn't mind it in a recipe, but would most

probably just leave it out. The thing is, that I don't feel the urge

to replace something I don't even know what it tastes like with a fake

something else.

However, no, I wouldn't be offended by some salty seitan or tofu.

I buy faux meats at our neighborhood kosher market, so I think that it's not an

issue.  I love the Yves pepperoni.

What I amy do, then, is put a " Warning--fake meat " tag up top of recipes

that have it.

Oh, mercy, no--not even a little bit! I asked because I really want to

know, and I appreciate your

responding honestly.

 

Thanks,
