That's me. The first time I had a seitan dish at a chinese restaurant, I was certain they had given me chicken and asked them to check. The poor guy went and dug the empty tin out of the bin to show me.

Amusing. Seitan (which is - also amusingly IMO - just pure wheat gluten) is functionally identical in texture to reconstituted meat.
Chinese Buddhist cuisine is essentially the art of tasting exactly like meat without the meat.
