This doesn't mention any Eastern traditions of fake meat which are also pretty interesting and stem from Buddhism. I've visited restaurants here in Hong Kong where everything is mock meat (usually tofu processed in some cunning manner, or fried gluten). From whole roast "ducks" to "chicken" skewers. Some of the "meats" can look pretty convincing, though unless it's an unusually thick sauce, the taste and texture are different.
