Some additives are animal derived and some veggies are fussy about that. I
can't remember which E-numbers it was now. ...

That's always seemed to be daft to me.
If you want to eat something that looks, tastes, smells and has the
texture of meat, then what's the point of *pretending* to be
vegetarian?

For those who have moral objections to animal farming, but like the
taste of meat?
Note that I don't include myself in that category :)

on the few times when i make gravy i use chicken or beef stock, add some
on!on powder and a tiny bit of gravy master ( http://www.gravy.com/). i cook
it down a bit, then add a little arrowroot mixed with stock, bring it to a
boil and it thickens up a bit, then it's ready for whatever i'm using it
for.

I forgot - I also sometimes add a couple of tablespoons of white wine in
at the last minute, the rule for cooking with wine apparently being
"either use lots of it along the way and reduce it to remove the alcohol
[1] or put a *tiny* amount in at the last minute".
