sounds good

unfortunately..the mock meats in cans around my neck of the woods are usually

layered with several inches of dust..soooo, i tend to steer clear of them....

i like the frozen ones.......even if they are a lot more costly.....

Nah, I hate any *artificial* meat. I gave up meat because I hated it. The

notion of *mock* duck is quite disgusting!

well I envy you

 

I loved the taste of meat and gave it up purely for the sake of the animals

environment etc..

 

I wish I hated it - especially in the early days when I found the whole thing

difficult

I've had a few of the Chinese mock veggie things - abroad and

locally (there's a weird selection in Glasgow's chinese

cash'n'carry - like veggie kidney and gizzard)

 

usually i've enjoyed it (like big plate of sweet'n'sour 'pork' that

came sizzling to my plate at a veggie restaurant in Kuala Lumpur)

but on flight this weekend had one I couldn't stomach...

 

I was flying EVA Air (taiwanese) and thought everything was going

better than usual when the margarine sachet had a little vegan

sticker on it (wow! my first ever on a plane); but the stirfried meal

was so realistic that i called the stewardness and complained it

was the wrong meal; confirmation came back that it was chinese

veggie and the chicken was mock, but it looked so much like

chicken that i couldn't eat it, even though i knew it was seitan

 

btw, one thing i've found from trying various chinese veggie things

(although your tastes may vary) - the seitan based things - like

mock duck, are rather good and not artificial; however, the taro

based things I've had have been inedible, at least to my

occidental tastes
