Speaking of odd things, there's a "Vegan Jewish Delicatessen" that I've been considering trying. Why? I dunno, it's not like there aren't plenty of real deli's around, but I'm really curious as to how close their plant-based reuben is to a real one. If I do go, I'll report back.

Vegan meats, fish, cream cheese, sour cream and mayo?
Honestly, I've never tried most of that stuff but I'm guessing a lot is lost in translation.
I'm not expecting much, but apparently the shop does a strong business. They started in Portland with two, have one in Seattle, now one in SD and in O'side. Even if it turned out better than I expect, I can't see eating it regularly. I don't actually eat stuff like pastrami, corned beef, etc. very often and when I do I want the authentic stuff.
There's a bagel place that makes authentic NYC bagels, even down to reformulating water to copy New York's. This I have tried and they're excellent. https://www.inglouriousbagels.com/home

No idea if true, but there was an article, by someone, claiming that unless labeled "Organic", it's full of really bad stuff.
A cursory search doesn't turn up much in objective evaluation, but the "Beyond" people claim to be kosher. I'm not big into fake stuff of any sort, though.

Thanks - not surprising there are various chemicals. I'm not sure that the amounts that would be taken in by any human in normal or expected amounts would be harmful IRL, but it certainly counters the industry's "clean plant-based..."
"It seems like it can only be labeled “plant-based” because it is made in a manufacturing plant."
Thanks, excuses to not do what I didn't want to do . I tried an Impossible whopper, it was alright. Of course, if meat is ever priced to reflect its environmental impact - land use, water quality, energy inputs, AGW, etc - we'll all be vegetarians.
Although most pine needles are edible, white pine is considered to be the best tasting one, and it’s very easy to be recognized – the only pine tree that has five needles per bundle....

White Pine Soda is a carbonated soft drink that was historically made from the bark of the Eastern White Pine tree. However, modern versions of the soda typically use artificial flavors to mimic the taste of pine rather than using actual pine bark.
As for the taste, White Pine Soda does not taste like gin. It has a unique flavor that is reminiscent of pine, with a slightly sweet and herbal taste. The taste can be described as earthy, woody, and refreshing. Some people find it similar to drinking a forest, while others describe it as a mix of sarsaparilla and root beer.
It's worth noting that there are different brands of White Pine Soda and they may have slightly different taste profiles. However, in general, the soda does not taste like gin.

Is bark tea different from Whack9's needle tea? Has ChatGPT really ever tried either?

ChatGPT (who will henceforward go by the name "Not Really") says:
Yes, bark tea and pine needle tea are different types of tea.
Bark tea is made from the bark of various trees such as willow, birch, and oak. The bark is typically dried and then boiled in water to extract the flavors and nutrients. The resulting tea can have a woody, earthy flavor and is often used for medicinal purposes.
Pine needle tea, on the other hand, is made from the needles of pine trees. The needles are usually gathered fresh, although they can be dried as well. The needles are steeped in hot water to extract their flavor and nutrients, and the resulting tea has a slightly sweet and piney taste. Pine needle tea is also used for medicinal purposes and is high in vitamin C.
So while both bark tea and pine needle tea are made from parts of trees and can have medicinal benefits, they are distinct from each other in terms of their flavor and the part of the tree that is used.
