Not being of the vegetarian persuasion, I only tend to eat things like vegetable pie if they actually look appetising, so have so far avoided this particular evil.
The icing looked a delicate pinkywhite colour. But it tasted of... er... PINK. Sort of halfway between non-specific red-fruit esters and cheap rose flavour.

Now that's clever of you. :) I've got to say that even as a vegetarian I try to operate on the same principle, but it isn't always possible.
I should point out in fairness that the vegetarian cafe at Avebury used to do the most fantastic mushroom and ale pie known to humankind. Their organic beers weren't bad either. They seem to go more for conventional veggie cafe fare now but still done pretty well.

Gah! How horrible!! And there's *no* excuse for that...
I have to say I like white icing best on iced buns. Proper crisp icing too. Ah! like my parents used to buy me in Tobermory when I were a lass.
