What's the best fakin bacon? |
|
The GD thread made me want to ask. I'm not much for the soy analogs 'cuz soy tends to be gas inducing for me. I do like the barbecue rib version once in a while. Before I go out and spend money on the bacon analog, I thought I'd come here and get folks' opinion, because now I'm craving an avocado and fake bacon sandwich. Thank you!

1. The best will have soy in them. |
|
But if you're looking for something less processed, you can make your own fake bacon by thinly slicing and frying up strips of tempeh. Add a little soy sauce and sweetener during the last minute of frying for a nice bacony taste.

3. Smart Bacon from Light Life may be addicting and life changing. |
|
It's ruined many a "I'll just have a nice salad" evening for me.

5. I bake it, naked, on a cookie sheet. |
|
But I watch it very, very closely. The difference between limpy bacon and burnt bacon is like, maybe 2 minutes.

7. Frontier Bacums is my new favorite fakin bacon |
|
I toss it on salads, or baked potatoes. I even put some on some fettuccine alfredo the other night. Yummy!

Morningstar's fake sausage is also very good.
