It is so much better than the Dynasea product. It has a good texture and a lot of flavor. I don't know if this is what shrimp tastes like, but it is very good. I had it scampi style, but it would be good in salads as well. I'm going to try it grilled next time. Has anyone tried the mock shrimp produced by Asian Star?

I was wondering about making shrimp scampi - but since kosher shrimp isn't very absorbent, I was a bit hesitant to try it out. It looks like i'm a a year too late for this comment though...if no one responds, oh well. Has anyone tried cooking fake shrimp any other way besides grilling them?

I have to say that I don't miss them, and if the fake version isn't all that great, the world is no worse off for it. I always thought shrip had the consistency of a hot dog.

It was horrendous. My cat seemed to like it but he likes iceberg lettuce and cries for tofurky hickory smoked slices. I have eaten (ahem) shrimp before i went kosher and they're not even in the same continent. It was mushy and floppy and generally ick. If you want to taste realistic veggie shrimp, try Cherry Street Kosher Chinese in Philadelphia ( http://www.phillychinatown.com/cherrystreet.htm , run by a local Jewish news anchor and his Chinese wife ), which even oddly - smells like real shrimp. in NJ, you can get a not as good but still better than Dynasea, mockshrimp at Veggie Heaven in Parsippany (also in Teaneck and Montclair - but i've not been to those locations).

He also agreed that Shlishkes isn't a Hungarian word - so it's probably Yiddish. We also decided that Shlishkes is a Hungarian food because it was prepared for us by the Hungarians we knew.

I'd be surprised if it were a Hungarian word, but I'll ask my MIL when I get back to the house. Also, there's no such thing as misspelling when it comes to Yiddish! :-) Hmmm, sounds like galuska, nokedli or even gomboc.
