I don't know what you guyses problem is. I sometimes made stuff like that vegetarian style with Agar, based on a vinegar vegetable stock with spices, containing different mushrooms, pickles, peas and all that. Goes perfectly with German style rye bread and beer.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
