My wife was trying to make us pumpkin pancakes this weekend, ended up an egg short, did a Google search for "egg substitutes" and ended up trying a dollop of mayonnaise, alongside traditional pumpkin spices. Mayonnaise is, after all, just egg and oil with a touch of an acid.
They almost tasted right, until they didn't. There's something about falling into the uncanny valley with foods that makes them more unacceptable than something completely foreign. We both had a good laugh at the mayo-squash-clove patties, and how close, yet so very far away they ended up being from something acceptable for our palates.
