I am sooooo excited that I’m ready to burst. I have found soy “bacon” that actually tastes like…….yes you guessed it BACON!!! It’s crispy and delightful and like heaven in my mouth. You see, I was an avid bacon eater back in my meat eating days but gave it up about 7 years ago.
Strangely enough I’m not a huge fan of the meat alternatives such as the fake soy chicken bits or soy beef bits for stir fry’s. I’m down with the veggie burgers, tofu dogs and TVP for tacos but that’s about it. I find the others to have a strange smokey taste that’s not for me.
You can imagine my utter joy and amazement when I tried a new soy product “veggie bacon” and it had all the crispy delightfulness that bacon has without ….well the pig. And the taste was quite accurate as well. I had my first "BLT" in 7 years and damn was it good!! Now if I can just find some soy “chicken” wings I’d be all set :)

Maybe you just haven't had real bacon in so long you've forgotten how great it tastes. But maybe, just maybe, I'll give it a shot. Its probably healthier than the real stuff.
Really? 'Cause turkey bacon tastes terrible. I do enjoy some turkey sausage patties though. Still, how could soy bacon taste any more real than turkey bacon (which is, you know, still meat after all)? Okay, I'll give it a shot. I do like veggie burgers so it is worth a taste.
Gross. I love to eat pigs: ham, pork, bacon!
It's on 8:30 in the morning but I'm going to get a double cheeseburger with bacon right now.
WIGSF, haha maybe that's it, it's just been too damn long that even a piece of sardboard made to look like bacon would taste good! I found this one over the river though, not sure they have it in Canada. Let me know if you find it.
SS, give it a try and let me know what you think. My family tried it and my mom really liked it as well.
BB, Ewe!! Maybe one of those breaky sandwiches...but a cheeseburger??? I'm slurping on a Green Tea Latte yum!
I hate fake meat. Probably because I've never liked real meat. Giving up meat was the easiest thing I ever did.
But I did like a bit of salty and crisp with my pancakes. Now I just put some roast some walnuts with salt and eat with pancakes. It meets the craving and I don't have to gnaw on a pigs ass.
I will never give up pig. Ever.
I'm not crossboarding shopping just to get some fakon. Too many Wendys and McDonalds on the way down tempting me. I'd never make it. Sure, I'll drive to Niagara for tea, but I'm not going to Buffalo for bacon.
I would not have guessed that passed the taste test, and I'm still a bit wary as it doesn't LOOK like bacon. But maybe . . .
Regardless, I'm glad you got a fix as bacon is one of life's great plaeasures.
Dude, what are pigs for if not to produce bacon?/?
FC haha, see my problem was I liked that taste of some meat but do not eat it for ethical reasons.
Wiwille, you'd love Jennifer's Bag. It says "I (heart) Bacon"
WIGSF, well maybe they have it here and i've just not seen it. Keep your eyes peeled for the Morningstar brand :)
Scott, considering some pigs will eat pretty much anything and sometimes even their own young....as well they can have parasites (ie ascarid worms)and diseases that can be transmitted to humans. They are better for cuddling than eating :)
