Fake meat

I have never understood why rsetaurants need to call their dishes  alternative "lamb", "prawns", "chicken", "beefburgers", "bacon", "fish and chips", "mock duck" etc - it doesn't attract me to those dishes at all and I have yet to meet a meat-eater that has become vegetarian due to eating fake meat alone but I do know a vegan who became a meat-eater after eating fake lamb which he liked and went on to eat real lamb and is no longer vegetarian. I think the quality of good vegetarian dishes should stand alone.  Just be honest, if made from soya / tofu call it soya / tofu.

 

Fake meat

 Do vegan / vegetarian restaurants really think they will convert meat-eaters to vegan by calling dishes "lamb" or "beefburgers" or "fish and chips" or "chick'n;" and then telling them it's actually soya that they are serving up? My vegan friend went to one such place and tried fake lamb curry and loved it. Then he decided to try real lamb somewhree else and tried it. Now he eats lamb.
