it should taste somewhat like the best pepper salami.

If you miss the taste of fish, or of caviar,
boil some edible seaweed 'till it is malleable.
Garnish each small toast on buttered or unbuttered round toasts
made of French bread banquette.
(Preferably, those with some integral wheat and many seeds upon).
