Kosher canned chicken sighted at Costco
It was at the Kollel Store and Goldberg's before Pesach. For about $8 a can, so really not something I needed.

Kosher Spare ribs at Costco
This is the second Passover that Costco has made the Passover Meal Mart Brisket available in the Seattle area. Last year, I followed the package instructions and the brisket was on the tough side. This year, I disregarded the package instructions. In addition to adding beef broth, red wine, onions, garlic, celery, tomatoes, and carrots, I cooked the product for more than twice the time listed on the package. The other technique I used was to add a few braised flanken short ribs to the brisket. Meal Mart removes the fat cap from their brisket. Adding some of the fat-- not to mention the bones -- back made the brisket both more tender and more flavorful.

Abeles & Heymann Pastrami and Corned Beef at BJ's Wholesale
Thanks, maybe I'll try the A&H pastrami. The American Kosher CB doesn't look that good but the A&H corned beef looks better. I do see that the American Kosher has "Isolated Soy Protein" listed in their ingredients.
I was very disappointed in the Meal Mart stuff at Costco. The pastrami had no flavor, it was like the black stuff that was supposed to be spices was just food coloring. And there was lots of fat/cartilage that they managed to hide with the label. I returned it and haven't bought it since then.
Here are photos of the 3 packages (no extra charge for my hand being in one). Sadly, it seems like they've been shrunken and the ingredients are no longer readable.

recipe for miso soup
Dashi made from dried shiitakes (and of course the kombu, which is arguably its most "definitive" ingredient in the traditional sense) is a thoroughly Japanese Thing, at least in Buddhist temple cuisine. Mushroom-based-dashi convenience products (with no fish ingredients) are even readily available at Japanese markets, but I suspect few if any are strictly kosher and have the hechscher to prove it. (For that mattIer, it's probably also slightly difficult to find certified dried shiitakes (the insect issue), but they do definitely exist it one is willing to track them down and pay the premium for them...)
I've heard/read of people using light chicken broth for "miso soup" (and even tried it once myself), but while it might not seem strange to someone who's never had dashi-based misoshiru, it IS rather, er, "different." (I **will** say that I think it would taste positively bizarre with ordinary chicken-broth granules or canned broth, though. This would definitely be the place for a homemade broth, much more lightly flavored than normal Euro-American broth.)
Also, fwiw, I put "miso soup" in quotes and used the Japanese word for it later on in that last paragraph to highlight the fact that what non-Japanese call "miso soup" is a specific subset of "soups with miso in them", some of which either don't use bonito-based dashi at all, or are heavily flavored with other ingredients, so even in the traditional/authentic sense, there's nothing inherently or even traditionally "incompatible" between miso and other broths.

I don't have a recipe, but if you Google for vegetarian miso soup recipes, plenty show up. I'd start with something there.

Which cut of meat or duck would you use to make this bacon?
The typical ones would be lamb breast, as Ferret noted, and duck breast. Duck breast is going to come off more like a ham though, because the fat is all banded up near the skin. I've seen the fattier end of the brisket used for beef bacon. As well as short rib, and the cap of the rib eye (fat in tact).

Kosher in Prague and Vienna
Leaving next week for Prague and Vienna . Any updates on the restaurants there? (Last discussion seems to be from 2014.) Best choice for Shabbat meals in Prague? Is Alef-Alef in Vienna good? Is it worth leaving the city center in Vienna for other restaurants?

Recipe for miso soup
I've seen some Eden products in stores like Pomegranate and other kosher markets (that I assume don't carry treif products of any sort, in general), but only a couple of varieties of miso and was curious about which company had as many as 4 different ones on the market. (And while I don't know if they're all kosher, I see on their website that Cold Mountain actually makes quite a variety of misos... www.coldmountainmiso.com/)

Survival rations. Not just for camping, but for shabbos in a hotel with no fridge. Or to have in the pantry for a shabbos when you couldn't go shopping for some reason, or when you're home unexpectedly.

Trader Joe's will take anything back, no questions asked. You can buy them, and if you don't like them, you can return them the next time you're there . . . even weeks or months later! Their customer service is legendary.

Ever tried kosher elk?
Tried kosher elk almost 10 years ago. It's a little bit sweet and rather lean, somewhat like bison (which is impossible to find too, now). I've never tried venison, so I can't make a comparison.

Suggestions for dining with client at non-kosher restaurant
You can bake salmon wrapped in aluminum foil. Add a little salt and pepper, but nothing else. That's probably what you're thinking of. But of course, check with your own kashrut authority for an opinion. Possible issues could include the salmon(no fins/scales visible), knives used, bishul akum, etc...

There's a company called "Miso Master" that produces a number of miso varieties under the Peach-K (Atlanta Va'ad). I've found them in Whole Foods in the NY area, but I'm sure they're available elsewhere as well.

Miami updates?
So I'll comment - I liked Rustiko (Italian) a lot. Interesting pastas, not the usual and nice service. Serendipity is a ice cream place - decent but not much better than Ben & Jerry's or Haagen Daaz.

I don't think the fins and scales absence is a problem. Many rabbis hold that since there is no non kosher pink fish there is a leniency. Of course you would consult your own RAbbi. I also suggest you might make things considerably easier, if you have the choice of restaurant, by choosing a vegan restaurant. Even some vegetarian restaurants will probably have non-dairy and very likely raw selections. One advantage of the recent trends in dining (many people wanting this or that, and inquiring about everything from the gluten content to the farm where the food was grown or raised) is that you no longer stand out as a "leper" for making specific request about your food provenance and preparation. You'll just be a foodie of a different stripe.
