Cheese analogue

[aquaplanage]

There I was, idly reading a newspaper on the train in the morning as part of my work-avoidancechillout regimen, when I was suddenly struck by a report about a consumer association study on commercially available pizzas in the Netherlands. Six of the twenty-nine pizzas sampled were topped with what the researchers called a cheese analogue - something like cheese that is made of vegetable fats, not milk products.

Weird. I'd not heard of it before. Is this common? Or commonly-known?

Also, in a fit of work-avoidancecreativity enhancement at work, I stumbled across something quite astonishing. Vegetarian bacon salt, (slogan "everything should taste of bacon"). Who knew?
