One of the strange things about the food that can be bought during the Vegetarian Festival is the fake meat. Take a look at this one. My local satay vendor decided to cash in on the festival and go vegetarian. I know this looks a bit like chicken on sticks but it is really tofu. You cannot really blame her for switching for ten days. Her stall is near a Chinese shrine and the majority of vendors around her are selling vegetarian meals.
I don’t understand why vegans/vegetarians want to eat fake meat. If you want to eat veggies then eat but don’t disguise it.

as a vegetarian who doesn’t eat meat for ethical, and not taste reasons, i love fake meat.
sometimes i miss the act of chewing on something for a while
