[...] What’s more, I tested the “fish chops” with my omni-foodie-friends, and they were generally pronounced to be delicious. My French friend was even reminded of his mum’s fish balls from when he was a kid, which sounds like praise indeed. (Incidentally, they don’t taste of fish.) [...]

Thanks for the veganised recipe! I’m off to the UK in a few weeks and am kind of feeling the urge to whip up some vegan versions of traditional recipes in the coming weeks. I call it research.

One of the reasons I don’t use smoke is because I don’t have any but you’re right, I do think it’s a bit fake. Perhaps I shouldn’t worry about this as much as I do.

Time for some experiments.

@Catofstripes, I used to avoid liquid smoke because it sounded unnatural/cheating, but when I looked into it, it doesn’t seem any less natural than than salt. Why do you avoid it?

I guess you could smoke potatoes no problem. Or smoked paprika could work well.

Have you tried the fish fingers made by Redwood. Enough to give anyone paranoia.

Soup looks nice but I don’t do liquid smoke. I wonder if the potato could be smoked at some point?

The pig/pork, cow/beef, sheep/mutton thing is the fault of the norman’s and their introduction of the french language.

It is annoying to me to go to Asian restaurants as well, but I too worry about the fish sauce in my dish. In Texas there is also the concern when eating Mexican food, we always have to ask if the Mexican rice is made with veggie broth or chicken stock and if the beans are veggie or if they have lard in them. Some restaurants have nice waitstaff that seem genuine while others pull the “No, it’s okay to eat” and do not seem truthful. Ugh.
