SparklyUnicorn Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 look nothing like actual turkey bacon Turkey bacon also tastes nothing like real bacon. It's not bad, but it's not bacon...at all. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Nope- definitely does not. I'm guessing it sounded better for marketing than fried thin strips of turkey. Kind of like tofu burgers. Not burgers. But more tempting to try than tofu patty. (Theoretically- I'm still not trying them though). :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) My FIL eats soy bacon. it always smells really good while it is cooking (in the microwave). But then... your mouth is all ready for delicious bacon and the fake stuff hits the tongue and... oh no!

Guest Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Soy bacon almost seems blasphemous. I mean something should technically have to have a belly to be considered bacon in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I like vegan bacon. Cruelty free, no saturated fat, no cholesterol. As an aside, many bacon bits sold in the jars in the salad dressing aisle are actually vegan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCandJ Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Ewwww anything besides real pork bacon should NOT be called bacon. And yes I'm one of those snobs who will only buy real bacon bit for my salads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I try not to eat the stuff much, but seriously, does anything taste better than bacon? I think not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Absolutely nothing tastes better. Do you have Denny's there? They're having a baconpalooza. Three different types of bacon AND a bacon shake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I have yet to try the combo of bacon and sweet. I can't believe I haven't tried that combo... I couldn't bring myself to try it for years, but then dh and I went out to dinner one night with another couple who was about to fly to Vegas and get married. Our server told the chef, who created this spectacular Elvis inspired dessert plate with everything from peanut butter and banana monte Cristo type thing to shots of bacon shakes. Freaking delicious. I have not had the one at Denny's yet, but that was more because I wanted to fit into my pants this weekend. After consuming every scrap of my Moons over My Hammy I couldn't justify it.

You've never gotten maple syrup (or if you're like me and you hate maple syrup, some other sweet pancake topping) on your bacon? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daria Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 No I don't ever order pancakes. You and I should go out to breakfast together. There's this place near me that has awesome bacon, and they'll let you substitute delicious whole grain toast for the pancakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Bacon shakes sound kinda gross, and I wasn't impressed with the maple bacon donuts at the shop around the corner, but I really want to make candied bacon. I don't want to eat it, because I know it'll make me feel like crap. But I just want to cook it. And smell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Soy bacon belongs in the same category as vegan leather--fake crap with an excellent marketing team!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Whoa...I'll take turkey bacon any day over that! DD says you get used to the fake bacon, eventually. She says it tastes a lot like Bacos (which I like), I still won't try it. Stay away from the fake sausage, even my die hard almost vegan says they're really gross.

My first time trying a bacon-sweet combo was at Burger King a few years ago. They had bacon brownie sundaes with caramel and they were tasty!

Bacon AND brownies?! My mouth is watering. This is a heck of a time for this thread. It's just too big of a temptation for my PMS riddled brain.

nd293 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I really like turkey bacon but you can't get it in Australia. We tasted it for the first time in the Middle East and we switched entirely (partly because it wasn't easier to get than the real thing but also because it seemed less fatty). I've done some searching here, but can't find it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
