In a cafe, and a woman has just complained (funny)

[QuestionableMouse]

She'd ordered a bacon sandwich and it's just been delivered to the table. She's now moaning because her bacon sandwich has a tiny crumb of black pudding on it. And she doesn't eat pork.

I feel for the poor staff having to explain which animal bacon comes from 😬

(And no, there's no vegan bacon on the menu so not a mix up!)

In the United States, one can buy kosher hot dogs, and frankfurters made with only turkey or beef. These are clearly marked. I don’t eat hot dogs, because I toured a hot dog factory many years ago. There are also vegan Tofu Pups, which are good smothered in chili with beans only. Vegan food needs skillful seasoning to taste good beyond basics, such as toast with marge.

Well actually black pudding generally contains oats, so there is a risk of gluten contamination (unless gluten free oats used), so celiacs can’t have it. Sorry.

Flips hair

We also have halal and kosher hotdogs in uk

But they can have the sort of cheap white bread used in greasy spoons?

This place probably doesn't even do proper coffee, I doubt their bread is gluten free. Not sorry

@ExhaustedFlamingo I can't currently do bacon (ARFID) but craaaaaaaave the salty bacony, BLT sandwich experience!

My work around is this - halloumi, fried in strips so its pretty crispy each side, not too thick. Make your BLT with this and put on some bacon mayo (I make it with hellmans and Deliciou's bacon seasoning which contains zero bacon) and it satisifies my BLT cravings very nicely.

It isn't bacon, and it isn't pretending to be, but it has the same combinations of texture, salty, sharp tomato, fresh clean lettuce etc.

That sounds delicious @WiddlinDiddlin. Is the bacon seasoning vegetarian?

Ssshh @WiddlinDiddlin , sainsbury sell baconaise, probably never had a rasher near it but its lovely

Eat not ear. No ears in haggis. I can’t speak for what’s in a sausage though (mum used to say ‘everything but the squeek’) "

No ears in haggis?!

Of course haggi have ears, why do you think that they're so difficult to catch?! Sheeeesh!!!!! :-/

Oh for goodness sake, why does everything become a pulpit opportunity? Bacon was originally from pigs, other derivatives are relatively new and have always been indicated on menus.

Not correct. There are well known issues in some areas with meat being sold under misleading descriptors:

I think that on the whole and all things considered, that it's pretty safe to say that there will be very few Teessiders who are unaware of where pork/bacon or any other meat comes from!
The fact that there had been ( in 2016 according to the linked article ) some attempts by dodgy people, to pull a fast one by replacing the food of the gods with inferior substitutes, ( which was acted on and stopped!) is beside the point, you don't have to go far out of Teesside before you see farm animals wandering about in fields, or on the open moors.

I have never had real bacon but agree fake-on stuff is bloody awful. Just tastes like a cremated leathery texture thing fished out of a fryer and coated in salt... my meat eating DH enjoyed it though so maybe that is what bacon tastes like.

I like quorn deli bacon but as mentioned before I have NO idea why its called bacon as it does not look, smell or taste anything at all like bacon, I mean its bright bloody pink and squared lol.

I thought that bottom one was "Bacon Amoeba"

WHAT!? 😦

I like puns, wordplay, absurd rhymes or slightly surreal things, e.g. Mornington Crescent. Also, spontaneous things like funny mistakes in live TV subtitles and satirical humour that presents topical inconsistencies/hypocrisies etc. in an amusing way, e.g. reading Private Eye.

Sadly, for whatever reason your body has decided it hates you. You could try the water and exercise thing, but if it's anything like my body it will just hate you more. My body despises so-called "water" and "exercise" and puts air quotes round them when I even think the words.

Is it just bacon, or do other pig-related products make your body stamp its feet and hold its breath in sheer temper?

😄

Oooh, yes!

That metallic green sheen in certain lights . . . .

No ears in haggis?!

Rubbish!

The ears are the best bit . . .

I was thinking of the organic chicken breast nuggets I used to buy for my ridiculously fussy son when he was little in a vain attempt to tell myself he was eating a good diet, but yes, fair point about the cheapo ones!

My ex husband (Muslim) didn't dig on swine (Pulp Fiction reference there). He did however think it was hilarious when we went for a meze to let his Muslim friends eat sheftalia and later watch them boak 😳

Listen Bacon Nomad

I'm foreign and I've not eaten meat for over 20 years. I one hundred percent know that in English speaking countries where the word 'bacon' exists it is referring to pig products unless it specifies otherwise. If I went and assumed otherwise I would just end up eating pig 100% of the time.

Exactly.

But that's a reasoned opinion.

I do wonder if some posters have ever worked in a customer facing role as it really does tend to highlight the stupidity crossed with a sense of entitlement some people genuinely have.

Listen Bacon Nomad 🤭

😂

And this is what I grew up knowing as English bacon (Eastern Europe). Imagine my shock when I finally arrived to UK and was served bacon😂

It is one of them. It's a harmless chemical reaction.
Also some artificial lights make ham go green. Nothing wrong with it but it gets weird tint

I know right? Feckin marvellous.

😂😂😂

Oh - I still eat it, @BosaNova 😁

"Beaks & arseholes"

Mmmmmmmmmmmm 😍

I am a worldwide nomad

is one of the most pretentious phrases I have ever heard. This whole thread is completely crazy. Is there a full moon tonight? 🐺
