Plant Based Bacon

BewareOfThe Dog on 09/04/2020 - 19:14

Well, tomorrow is Good Friday. I plan on having plant based burgers, as I have a seafood allergy.

I've had a few plant based burgers with REAL bacon, but the GF will get annoyed.

Are any of the Plant based Bacons from Colesworth, better than others?

How close are they to bacon?

    I don't eat bacon ( fake or otherwise) so can't help. But I'm curious as to why your gf would be annoyed if you ate real bacon?

    but the GF will get annoyed.

        I enjoyed my beef I had before….. It was good! But the OP is right, it really did need bacon!

    Beef is good on Fridays.

    I believe in some countries you are allowed to have a burger without any bacon at all.

      That used to be the case but the rules have now changed.

    https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2019/03/this-bacon-is-bananas-…

    You can apparently make bacon out of banana peels.

    2 washed organic banana peels
    1/4 cup vegetable or grapeseed oil
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 table spoon maple syrup
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
    1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
    2 large pinches of MSG (optional)

      Hmmm… Or just use my wife's recipe : burn anything that is edible to a crisp and call it bacon. True story.

        Lol.

        Is your wife Peg Bundy are you Al Bundy?

          Neither. I made the mistake of falling for the line "I love to watch a man cook - it's sexy" when we first met and she's never had to learn how to cook.

    If you can get to an Asian grocer Lamyong brand is quite good. Also another Asian (Taiwanese?) brand, even better, I don't know its name but the rashers are packed in 2 stacks of 10 and the label has a green border. This one

    If you want make your own there are lots of recipes online but I suggest you try the rice paper varieties - easy and tasty.

    Use haloumi or mushrooms or something, not some weird soy abomination.

    • hymio on 10/04/2020 - 06:02

      With chicken salt or some other msg to boost the umami and it's essentially bacon!
