>>>>And of course, I'd think vegetarians would have trouble with ham too.. unless of course it's the veggie type (I don't recall if there is such a thing, but since there are things like veggie burger, veggie cheese, veggie frankfurter and veggie fish fillet, I'd be surprised if there wasn't such a thing as veggie ham).

>>>Just curious... what vegetable dishes are imitated in meat, and named after them? Is there any attempt to replace, say, olives with gizzards, celery with lamb chops, or beans with ground meat? Why is it always meat that gets imitated?

>>Hrm... That's an interesting thought. We've all heard of vegatable-based meat "extender" and various vegetable-based fake meat, but no opposite meat-based vegetable substitute... Perhaps we could ask inhabitants on a planet much like what was seen in the "The Rules of Luton" episode of the 1970s TV show "Space:1999," or perhaps Tybo from the "Lost in Space" episode "The Great Vegetable Rebellion"?

>Soylent Green?

A classic. It's been so long since I saw the movie I don't remember what soylent green was described as. Was it vegetables or more general, like "food"?
