I had my first mock chicken encounter last Saturday.
There it sat, side-by-side with chicken, shrimp and pork on Chiang Mai Thai's menu. Acting as though it belonged there or something.
I've probably eaten at Chiang Mai Thai 30 times. Never once did I notice this offering, because before this experiment, I surely wouldn't have considered it.
It was good.
Surprisingly protein-esque in its texture, it tasted like, if not chicken, green curry goodness in a chickenicious package. The next day, it was actually even juicier, and therefore rendered more birdlike. I realized there is no real reason to order chicken in a dish like this again.
Hedonism & Health - tie.
The next day I tried some tofu in another thai dish and realized that straight-up, I'm not a fan.
Tofurkey and mock duck or mock pork certainly are more famous - I've tried none of them yet. have been googling mock chicken - I couldn't even find a package of it, just this mock pork below. What is it? Where does it come from? What has it come to teach us?
