I have never tried it yet, but how do producers achieve “distinctive [chicken?] flavor” without resorting to non-vegetarian ingredients? The article should explain that. Wikipeditor (talk) 15:22, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't have a chicken flavour - people have said that but I have tried many Brands and have never experienced a flavour like chicken - although some manufacturers of Mock Duck make other products like 'Mock Chicken' which are also not artificially flavoured but have a more chicken like appearance but texturing it and cutting it in different ways.
In any case there are hundreds of chicken flavours that can be nought and added to foods from commercial flavour and aroma manufacturers, the vast majority of which are not derived from real chicken. They are chemically similar or identical ('nature identical') and can be mde from sources like milk proteins or plants that have been treated with other chemicals or cooked to achieve chemical changes. I don't think this is worth adding at all.
I was only going to add that I saw a comment that that 'it is like seitan' was removed because someone believed it IS seitan. That is incorrect - Seitan is a japanese macrobioticfood made from wheat gluten. The fact that it is made from wheat gluten only puts it in the same class of vegetarian meat alternatives - just as a pitta bread and a french stick are mae from wheat flour. They are not the same thing. Mock duck is fried, seitan is not - instead it is stewed in Tamari, Kombu (seaweed that has the Umami property) and sometimes ginger. Similar but NOT the same - and therefore Mock Duck is *LIKE* seitan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.137.40.199 (talk) 12:04, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
