I just know that many Muslim don't eat food product(s) that has gelatin in them because gelatin could be made from pig(s)!
Gum doesn't generally contain gelatin but some products do. It's much more likely to contain glycerin/glycerol which is made from either animal or plant fats.

This brings me to think of...
Marshmallows!!! I love smores' when I am camping in the summer with vegan gram crackers ... so hard to find. Anyone have any luck?
I did see a bag at Whole foods and from the Endangered Species Choc. website, But... it says from Fish!?!?

otherwise, I read so many labels... so I hope to not eat any gelatin Yuk! I agree that it does sneak up in foods though.

I can't give up my smore addiction and vegan marshmallows are sooo hard to find! I found them once at a flour mill in northern NH, but then I couldn't bring myself to pay the $5. I posted this same problem a few months ago and a couple people recommended some different websites. I haven't checked them out yet. Perhaps searching the Veggie forum for "marshmallow" or "smores" will bring up that old thread.

If you buy them first, let me know how they "puff" up and how well they work on smores! (I will do the same once I buy them.)

Are vegan marshmallows made from the actual marshmallow plant? Or do they use an alternative?

Although I looked from time to time, I have never found vegan marshmallows.

I've had a brand of marshmallow 'sauce' that was entirely so sweet it'd make your teeth rot. Pretty disgusting. Here's a link from a store which sells kits to make your own vegan marshmallows, if you're so inclined.

I thought Haggis was the most disgusting thing ever, but now I stand corrected

Sweet & Sara seems to be the ticket.

Ever have Vegetarian Chopped Liver?

It's an old traditional Jewish recipe used on certain meatless holidays.
It's made with peas, beans, eggs, and nuts all ground up.

Luckily, it doesn't taste like liver.
It makes great sandwiches, or a spread to eat on crackers.

Does any source of gelatin come from fish or can it... probably is possible huh?
