You're abusing the word "fake". Is coconut oil fake olive oil? Just two different substances serving similar purposes, much in the way mushrooms are sometimes used in dishes the way meat might be used. You could call that "fake meat"... or just call it mushrooms.

You used the term "fake meat" in the comment I replied to, I repeated it. I'm a meat eater and of course that doesn't mean I won't order or eat mushrooms. It means I'm unlikely to purchase Morning Star Farms soy-based "Bacon Strips", or other meat imitation products. This is not because of a "cultural belief" it's because I don't have a need to avoid genuine bacon, so why would I buy a soy substitute/imitation?

So would you order a dish with imitation avocado made of soy protein and canola oil?
