The Best Imitation Foods and Faux Dishes in London Restaurants - Eater London

"The pull of Jenecheru on a Sunday in winter is strong: thick coats slung over the backs of chairs, hot crisp pies, glass bottles of Coca Cola with stripy straws, blonde and silky sopa de mani, and clove-heavy rice pudding. Most of all, though, the crowds are in it for the Sunday specials. The two heavy hitters are lechon al horno, roasted pork served in grid-formation with sweet potato, plantain, rice, huge-kerneled choclo corn, and fresh cheese; and falso conejo, false rabbit, a dish of deep-fried beef cutlets served in a sauce of tomatoes, peas, and onions. At Jenecheru, it’s accompanied by two types of potato — white, and white chuño, a kind of freeze-dried potato, as well as rice, tomatoes, and onions. The dish likely gets its name from its resemblance to lambreado de conejo, a fried rabbit dish, which might be served whole and regal, or in pieces, and dressed with the same sauce." - Hester van Hensbergen
