I know a lot (like my SO) who don't eat land animals because of the slaughtering conditions. Usually because they wrote a report in school or read The Jungle or whatever.

So with some the rational is that seafood doesn't go through that slaughtering process since it often remains whole all the way to the kitchen. My SO just admits not eating giraffe makes life too difficult, especially in restaurants. Heck, she'll even take gel-coated Tylenol.

I've always wanted to get into an argument with a "sanctity of life" vegan about all the deaths necessary to produce grain and vegetables for human consumption. What about the weevils, dammit?! WHAT ABOUT THE WEEVILS?!

A friend of mine once developed mock ads for meat-based substitutes for grain products, for those of us who believe that grain production is too cruel. The flagship product was Dread: "like bread, but dead."

You know, now that the Atkins fad is in full swing, you might be onto something...

JL's avatar comes back when I refresh. I don't have this problem with others - maybe it's a problem with the hosting of the image.

I'm glad it's back. I like to oggle it while I post. If only there was a way to find more pictures of attractive women while I'm using the computer. Ah well.

Unless JL's avatar tastes like chicken, this is getting a little off topic even by my non-interventionist (or 'Please please please post in my forum!!') standards.

Sorry but pixels don't taste like chicken at all. Go head and lick your monitor if you don't believe me.

Anyway, back OT:

tofu (it tastes like sauce)
rabbit
quail
ostrich
McNuggets

Chicken-in-a-Biscuit crackers


While I reluctantly admit that I simply love Chicken-in-a-biskit (they can't even be bothered to spell the name of their own imitation-chicken-flavoured cracker product correctly), they really taste nothing like chicken or biscuits.  Just salty.  

Something else that should taste like chicken and doesn't:

Chicken flavored ramen noodles.

Edit: Fear not, Wombat.  I've just changed hosts so my avatar won't be flaking out again.  Frickin' frackin' Netscape.  I'll not sully your forum any further.

In my capacity as a vegetarian, I am all about chicken-tasting products with no actual meat substance in them, as they facilitate delicious soup, and no sou-enabler can be all bad.

Those Quorn nuggets don't really taste like chicken, but the texture is astoundingly close.

Is it? I hate the texture. I mean they don't actually taste like anything, but they're all, bleah!
I keep being fed it when I visit my vegtarian friend (why don't these people just eat fuck*ng vegetables!?) and it has this nasty wet, mushy texture. Kind of like, well like a softer Gnocchi or something, and I don't like gnocchi for their texture. Well OK, more like dumplings I guess.
