I agree that it can be difficult to distinguish between mock meats and the real thing (especially if you haven't eaten real meat in many years)- some of the mock meats in Taiwan kind of scared me cause they were such good fakes! Especially with the language barrier I sometimes worried that I might be eating real meat. <br /><br />Did you make it to any vegetarian/ vegan restaurants while you were in Tokyo?Mikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591688382379643425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692155622514811342.post-45544915190353407602011-10-01T20:45:06.955-07:002011-10-01T20:45:06.955-07:00I had this situation before when I was in England,...I had this situation before when I was in England, and it was a vegetarian Chinese restaurant in the centre. I thought I had a vegan wonton soup, but it was a real won-ton and I knew how it was smelled (seafood and the meat appearance). I grew up with wontons. It's hard to differentiate vegan and non-vegan meats, it sucked dealing with a vegan-friendly dish with a piece of meat in it. I was in Tokyo for a day last week and it was very difficult at first. I know what a fish broth smelled like, but seriously most of their products contain a lot of ingredients that are impossible to take out.rika@vmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901767751926870086noreply@blogger.com
