i never actually LIKED (most) meat and/or fish




so i don't go out of my way to buy FAKE meat and/or fish. there are a few i like and i've mentioned them before. in some chinese restaurants they do serve vegan 'meats' and 'fish'. they are SO right on, it's kind of scary. most are made with seitan (which i LOVE by the way)

i love lightlife smart deli santa fe chick'n style slices. not because they taste like chicken so much but because there is a kick to them. they're spicy hot. very good in a lettuce, tomato and vegan mayo sandwich.

anyway, today's wapo has a little blurb on fake meats. i've never heard of the brands or products they feature. that's odd because i do spend a whole hell of a lot of time in 'natural' or 'health' food markets.

CAN THESE IMITATION PRODUCTS KEEP IT REAL?
A visit to the stocked freezers at Terry's Healthy Food store in Rockville makes a convincing case that the vegetarian meats, seafood and poultry imported from Taiwan and China look more like their real counterparts than ever before. But taste comparison is another matter entirely.
