only tangentially related, but I found out something quite the opposite this week which is pretty funny: the “steak” flavoured crisps in my supermarket are actually (probably) vegan. I checked the ingredients and the “meaty” flavour is actually just paprika, salt, and pepper lol. Nothing on the ingredients looked to come from any animal. So the flavour being called “steak” is just a marketing thing. I suppose when you condition your brain by telling it you’re eating “steak” it just kinda accepts it and it does somehow taste kinda meaty in a way. But it’s not.
Wildly different kinds of pepper lol. Fun fact, chili peppers are actually named peppers because when they were named they were thought to be related to black pepper, but are actually not really related at all.

The powdered chicken stock my dad used turned out to be vegan. It says “chicken style” on closer inspection.
So dried pepper, salt, and pepper? That’s wild!
