One of my best friends, who is from Korea, told me about "liquid cat." I can't tell you the Korean phrase (because I don't know it off hand), but it does translate into English as "liquid cat." It's a very popular dish in Korea. They boil the cat until you get... liquid cat.
She is pretty horrified by the thought of it now. I suppose 10 years of living in the US, and having 2 pet cats, would do that to a good Korean girl.
But, let's hear it for "vegetarian meat." I've never heard it referred to that way, usually it is "mock duck," or "mock [name of meat]." It is also made of wheat gluten, and it can probably be made from a combination of gluten and soy, too. The kind I buy in cans at my fave Asian grocery is made from gluten alone.
My favorite dish is "Mock Duck with Coconut Sauce," from Vo's just down the street from me (it's actually a Vietnamese place). It comes in a very hot and spicy, creamy curry coconut sauce with chopped peanuts on top. "Vegetarian Meat," or mock duck is very juicy and much more tender than I remember real meat being. Best of all, it has no gristle and no cholesterol.
