IMO, "non-dairy" relates to inventiveness.  

I remember seeing linguini with white clam sauce at a Bar 
Mitzvah.  

I was curious and asked the caterer, "How do you make kosher 
white clam sauce?"  

The expansive grin on his face told me that he liked the 
question and he was well pleased to answer, "Perch."  

"tofu turkeys" -- that is such a grody concept ... possibly 
even devoid of any redeeming features.  

Would "*non-dairy* chocolate cheesecake", "tofu turkeys", and
"white clam sauce (from perch)" all count as "illusion foods"?  

BTW, Do we have minimum standards as to what would be enough 
to squick the cooks list?
