Weird Food Substitutions

What are the strangest ones you've ever heard of?

My teen is all about weird food history right now, and I've been informed that a lot of people don't use real wasabi due to cost and actually substitute horseradish dyed green instead. You may want to check that with your favorite restaurant!

The fish that you order may not be the actual fish that you wanted, either. About 20% of fish served in restaurants may be mislabeled, according to an Oceana report. Many other foods are real but diluted. When I read that honey is often diluted with corn syrup it made my stomach turn.

What are the weirdest fake foods substituted for the real thing that you've heard of? Share your experiences in the chat!
