At last - a REAL (credible/incredible)alternative to BACON

[LaurieFairyCake]

I stopped eating bacon about 4 years ago (it was one of my favourite foods) - I was eating it over 40 years so I know what it tastes like.

I try to eat as much veggie/vegan food as possible to reduce stress on the environment (some ethical reasons too)

All meat alternatives leave me very cold, I hate them. Give me a sore stomach and my er.... bowels don't process them well.

This 'bacon' is very strongly flavoured and tastes exactly like bacon - and the texture is excellent- no graininess or weird soft mouth feel but chewy like thin bacon. So far we've had it in sandwiches with fried eggs and I cannot tell the difference. It's so strongly flavoured I imagine it would be great in macaroni cheese, basis for soups instead of chorizo etc.

You're supposed to fry it but my frying pan is crap so I grilled it with oil spray - perfect

And no weird after effects.

I don't work for them - never heard of them until this week.

£26.60 per kilo !!

Then don't buy a kilo?

Bacon is awful for you, but do love it, I might check this out. Bacon rolls are a family favorite for winter sunday breakfast

You get 10 'rashers' and I meant to say they were thick, not thin - so about 4mm thick

@ EmperorBallpitine

My point is they are 5x the price of real bacon.

Why does vegan food have to emulate meat?

@handbagsatdawn33 because some people choose not to eat meat to help the environment and stop needless animal slaughter - not because they don't like the taste or texture of meat.

My son had a 'not a beefburger' or something catchier. He loved it. Said he'd choose it over meat.

Beyond meat it was called,

Where did you buy it Laurie? I'm not a veggie but often prefer meat free versions of things ( generally prefer veggie burgers and sausages to the real thing) so would be interested to try this.

I got it from Ocado

Can someone post as link, that imagery isn't opening for me.

I need link posted too please. My daughter is vegan - she would love this but can't see the name of it!

I disagree. It is meaty, and tastes ok, but it doesn't taste or feel like actual bacon.

It does taste and feel like meat, to be fair, just not bacon.

This sounds amazing. Bacon is the main reason I am not vegetarian. DH is vegan and has heard other vegans recommending it. Apparently, you can get it in holland and barrett.
