How do you tell if the food is faked?

You can't have fake food just materials your body cannot derive sustenance from. All of that is food.

Experience eating real food. You don’t need to eat that much fake food to realize when something tastes artificial and unnatural

What is fake soy sauce?

>>21482469
salt, water, some protein extract, flavor enhancers and coloring brewed quickly. Still 100% food and can be digested. Much more efficient process to make.

>>21482378 (OP)
If the ingredients list is similar to that of a Quest bar.

Most "fake" shit in the USA pretty much tells you it is fake by not calling it by the name the real one is called by.

There is a difference between "ice cream" and "frozen dairy dessert". There is a difference between "syrup", "maple flavored syrup", and "maple syrup". Amazingly, the food in question isn't exactly hiding what it is, the average dipshit just isn't taking the time to read what's usually right on the front of the package. Soy sauce is one of the ones you gotta check for "naturally brewed" but even stuff that isn't naturally brewed has the same ingredients because they frequently just mix powdered soy sauce with water.

I like the fake sauce better but prefer real syrup

Not my problem.

>>21482549
Aren't those maraschino cherries? Makes sense the brine would include shit to make them appear more red unless they were organic.

>>21482547
The very first line of the package says "made from plants". It's not marketed as egg, it's marketed as Just Egg in which Just is the brand name. Might as complain that Cadbury eggs aren't actual eggs either.

i like morningstar burgers because I'm lazy as fuck. What other type of burgers can you take out of the freezer and microwave for 90 seconds and be done?
You'll be ready to eat before you're even done taking a shit.

Anything that has dyes, hfcs, or canola oil is fake

>>21482549
A breakdown of chemicals found in food is not the same as grinding down titanium dioxide and scooping yellow colored petroleum distillates to add to food.

Let me guess, you think Crisco is food grade too, right? It's totally not companies selling you industrial lubricant to eat.

balsamic vinegar is one that most store-bought bottles aren't the real deal and instead is just wine vinegar with food coloring

>>21482469
Hydrolyzed soy protein vs fermented wheat and soy. Doesn't really matter if the only thing you use it for is a dash here and there in stews and such, but even still I don't see the point when a small bottle lasts those kind of people years and is only like $5 vs $3 a bottle.

Just a heads up canned fish is usually one of the most faked. Specifically tuna and salmon, moreso salmon.

>>21482547
The only awful shit in this is the gutter oil, sodium pyrophosphate, and the preservatives. If they used EVOO and left the other bullshit out it'd be fine.

It absolutely does matter. The fake soy sauce that comes in packets that you get from the Chinese takeout place tastes like absolutely nothing. It's not even salty, it may as well be just food coloring.

>>21482883
The cherries you're thinking of are marasca cherries. The jarred cocktail cherries are packed in brandy distilled from cherries called maraschino along with sugar for sweetness and cochineal/red 40 for the color depending on where you live.

If it’s made in lardmerica it’s prolly fake

>>21483335
its pretty crazy how here in the USA a bottle of cheap shit and a bottle of expensive shit are both the same and real balsamic vinegar is almost impossible to find.
Every one is cooked grape must and wine vinegar.

Like 99% of wasabi on the market is fake, most of it is a combination of horseradish, mustard, and coloring.
The real wasabi is extremely difficult to find as the rhizome plant only grows in a specific part of Japan.
And it's a scam with three layers because you have cheap wasabi sold as paste which is bright green and obviously fake, but you also have higher end wasabi sold as a powder straight from Japan and that is also horseradish (but closer in taste and texture to the real thing). Meanwhile the elusive real wasabi is hard to find.
Pic related is real wasabi (left) and the "good fake" wasabi (right).

Saffron is another one, most saffron on the market is adulterated and watered down with cheaper plant stems. You need to look for label of origin labels and the ingredientes.

Red Snapper is almost never red snapper, most of it is other fishes.

Truffle flavouring is usually fake, using artificial flavoring and not real truffles, which are expensive.

Balsamic vinegar someone explained it above.

Honey is sometimes diluted with corn syrup or outright fake. (Mostly the ones from China)

Saffron is another one, most saffron on the market is adulterated and watered down with cheaper plant stems. You need to look for label of origin labels and the back label.

Red Snapper is almost never red snapper, most of it is other fishes.

Truffle flavouring is usually fake, using artificial flavoring and not real truffles, which are expensive. Again need to look at the back and read the ingredients.

>>21483929
Tastes salty to me, your taste buds must be fried

>>21484345
If you think finding real wasabi as paste or powder is hard (true, but doable) then try finding actual wasabi root. Fucking legitimately impossible.

>>21482513
the average person looks at you like you are a witch if you know how much sodium or sugar is in something without reading it out loud off of the label

You’re right but for some reason the incels itt are mad at you

The same people who reject fake meat are probably the same people who also don't eat corn syrup "maple syrup" and fake cheese and the like

I'm not even sure what fake soy sauce is, since there's an incredible diversity of asian soy sauces that are often labeled as seasoning sauces, the difference being they are soy sauces with something added other than fermented soybeans

>>21485664
Nice try. It's you guys hyper focused on the wrong things in life who don't get laid.

>>21485595
Why are you telling them those facts? They think you're gay, they don't fear you as some supernatural magician.

>>21485668
Who's even using enough soy sauce to give a shit? I'm sure it tastes identical. You can't go wrong with Kikkoman. They always have it. Just get that.

>>21485675
That's like asking why use barbecue sauce when ketchup is close enough, kikkoman tastes significantly different than something like golden mountain that it changes everything about a dish.
