I feel like you should at least have the ingredients that are in the name of the dish.

    Crab Rangoon begs to differ, but that is an extreme example

    I forgot about cream of tartar and thought you were a cannibal for a second.

    There is also the dish "tartare", which I would be really surprised if they didn't share some entomology with the region/people and the claims involved.

    Iirc, it’s named after the concept of mongols putting a piece of tough meat under their saddles and riding on it all day to tenderize it. That’s actually where the name for tartar sauce comes from, because it was an accompaniment to the dish.

    Lobster sauce sends its regards.

    Theseus' recipe. How many ingredients can you replace before it's a different dish?

    To be fair in MOST things baking substituting some banana, pumpkin, applesauce, etc. for egg will work fine (and impart some flavor so, pick which one works for what you're doing) but in an uhh egg custard.... well... That is a bit different. (Really I would probably just use like potato starch to get something that would set correctly, but you would need to adjust flavor if you wanted to get it close since that won't give egg flavor.)

    In recipes that have egg as the star ingredient I add just a teeny pinch of kala namak, it adds a bit of the background sulfur flavor. I'm allergic to egg whites, but honestly I'm not sure I'd even bother with an egg custard. There are plenty of alternative desserts that dont need to be a vegan dish that's 80% starch lol
