ladycakes · Fake duck in a can is one of my all time favorite foods.  It's the only fake meat holdover from my vegetarian past.

ladycakes · You can usually find it in Asian markets.  It's called mock duck.

It's just really salty moist seitan.

Chris Lehrer · There are a number of flavors of the general "mock meat," of which "mock duck" is passably specific. It's basically gluten with flavoring. I think the best kind is curry flavor, some versions of which are remarkably complex-flavored and can be extremely spicy.

The great thing about mock meat is that you can do things like stir-fry and even gently braise it, and it will act a great deal like chicken.

What's nasty, though, is when they try to create things like "Un-Turkey" out of it. Stop pretending, I say: enjoy the stuff for what it is, not what it's sort of like if you squint real hard.

Chris Lehrer · If you ask me, there's too much Japanese stuff here, and it's too randomly scattered. For example, if you want to eat Zen cuisine, which can be wonderful, why specify vegan as well? And what about Chinese or Thai or Sri Lankan Buddhist cuisines?

Something I'd add: eat at a high-end all-mock-meat-and-tofu restaurant.

Something I'd question: syllabub. If that's here, why not beer, wine, whiskey, brandy, martini, whiskey sour, margarita....

I do find it disturbing just how many of these things I've eaten, given that I am emphatically not a vegetarian and haven't the slightest interest in vegetarianism of any kind. But then, the list is rather Asia- and specifically Japan-centric.
