While no substitute for the real thing, the fake bacon actually makes a mean BLT. Real bacon is always better, for some of us with health issues we occasionally have to make do with that stuff….just don’t look directly at it; ever…

Honestly, all tofu bacon tastes somewhere from 1 to 10 like Play-Doh. A lot of it looks exactly like it was made with Play-Doh. You might as well just eat the Play-Doh because it’s so much cheaper to buy (or make yourself) than the veggie-rip-off bacon.

I’ll bet even Beggin’ Strips are better.

I am reminded of a tragedy in my life. We did not eat much sausage growing up b/c my mom didn’t like it, bacon on the other hand, was always on hand. One morning, I woke up to the sweet smell of sausage filling the house. I ran downstairs & my brother was cooking up a pan of those delicious patties. He gave me one and as my mouth watered, I took a bite and… BLEH – tofu sausage! Oh I thought I had died & gone to a very very bad place, but unfortunately I was still alive & tasting something terrible that smelled & looked of sausage, but tasted like… idk, something you could never pay me enough money to ever try again. The moral: DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING THAT IS GREASY & HOLY, EVER TRY TOFU BACON! Unless you really really want to appreciate bacon even more (but hurl for a day first).

I love real bacon, but I have to tell you – the morningstar farms bacon pictured here (NOT tofu! texturized vegetable protein) is REALLY GOOD. It tastes like really crispy microwaved bacon (my fave!) except for being less greasy/fatty. It’s BACONTASTIC! (And, the low-fat bacon goodness leaves you room for more pork bacon later)

I wanted to see what reactions your article received before I commented.

I will say I really, really wanted to like this product, and obviously, I did not. Tofu bacon is in a world of it’s own when it comes to tofu products. I am a fan of (some) tofu hotdogs, gardenburgers and tofu crumbles in tacos… But the tofu bacon is something else. I feel like they were trying to hard to make a product that would substitute for bacon, which ended up tasting more like chemicals than anything else. Tofu on it’s own is just as much loved by it’s fans as bacon is. Maybe I need to start a tofu today type website to show you all that we are not hippy (or yuppie) jerks that all believe everything PETA says, or that all drive a Prius. Some of us just don’t like the thought of eating meat.

As for you, Mr. Baconator — You know I am a devoted vegetarian and I felt I needed to try this product just so I could silence haters like you (in the nicest way possible of course). I am willing to say that this product failed me and though I will never claim to understand you’re (or anyone’s) obsession with bacon, I will respect it and enjoy you all trying to convert me.

I tried it when I was 13, I actually quite liked it…or maybe I just like anything that tastes vaguely bacon-y. Call it childhood stupidity maybe…
