I saw some at the oriental market after seeing a recipe on the PPK using it so I decided to bring it home and make some Mock Duck Chili for lunches this week. Right now? I have to say I'm impressed and it's awesome... Not by itself (I tried a nibble and it was VERY salty), but it's awesome in the chili.

it's tops. it's my favorite unmeat for thai dishes like kee mao.

I've had it at Thai restaurants (awesome), but in a can? That it a little scary but I'd probably try it.

I'd never even heard of it until I saw Isa's post the other day, now I'm intrigued!

Its awesome!

Scary! I've seen the cans of it... it looks seriously unappetizing.

Oh my gosh, my kids LOVE all the weird Asian canned gluten products!! Mock duck, mock abalone, mock... whatever weirdness!! It's all good!!

They're super easy to use with Yaki Soba noodles and veggies or Pad Thai or just rice and gravy..... mmmmmmmmmm.... gravy....

I chose scary because of childhood trauma. Brr.

I got a can of mock duck from China Town. It was tasty, but I was freaked out by how they molded it to look like skin that feathers had been plucked from. So there isn't really an appropriate option for me to select. I think I'm going to have to null my vote. Wait, is there no null vote? Will I be forced to vote for something I don't believe in just to see what the results of this poll are? Well, I'm off to the whine tasting.

I think it's delicious. I have to agree with everyone who said that it's so good in Thai food.

I've never had the canned stuff, but I always get it in Thai takeout and I looove it. Pad See Ew with mock duck is my fave!

revolting.

i've never had real duck. i can't even begin to imagine what this would be like.
and from a can? i dunno, unless i came across a recipe that i wanted to make which called for this i probably wouldn't get it

It's OK. I'm not crazy about the sauce it comes in, though you can just wash it off.

have you guys seen isa's blog post? it's really not scary! it's just seitan!

Wanna talk about it?

Ive bought it a few times and think its gross. you didnt put an option up for that. its also fairly scary.

I never had duck pregan so the idea kind of squicks me out, but like idji said, it is just seitan, so maybe I'll give it a try sometime.

Seriously. I was just gonna post that pic! It's seitan, it's not gross. What the what.

it's textured seitan. i.e. AWESOME.

I'm admittedly a bit irrational about it. If they just called it seitan and didn't put those weird skin bumps on it, I'd probably try it. But now, no. I never had duck when I ate meat, and though I'm sure this is actually quite different, I don't want to know what duck tastes like!

but its seitan in a can! its like vegan spam. ich.

no way! it's more like tuna in a can if you really want to compare it to meat. it's just seitan in a can. spam is a ton of processed crepe and filler and weirdness.

but I won't argue anymore. You all are missing out. It's really good!

You guys are totally missing out. That shiitake with hoisin, green onions, and Mandarin pancakes is awesomesauce.

Have never had the kind with chili, but I've gone through a few oriental mock-[thing]s in a can. They're gooooood
