Adventures in BaconSalt-ing



Missing something in your life? How 'bout a little bacon? 

According to the BaconSalt website, everything should taste like bacon. Really? EVERYTHING? Well it is vegetarian AND kosher after all. So I did what any good vegetarian would do. I declared it BACON DAY. All bacon, all the time. 

The plan for breakfast was to try it with some tofu scramble (side bar: much chatter 'round the blogsphere about Fantastic Foods discounting this product but I found it alive and well on their website). But I digress; back to the bacon. No tofu scramble at the store so I had to rack my brain for other ideas (bacon 'n yogurt?, bacon 'n bran flakes?) when I had an epiphany: Hash brown patties. Frozen, potato-y goodness, like tater tots but less tot, more grease and (drum roll) completely vegan by accident (hmmm that gives me an idea for another piece. . ). 

So here's how our bacon-flavored friend fared:

Hash browns with BaconSalt: Delish!
Corn with BaconSalt: Num Num Num
Tofu pot-pie with BaconSalt: Bacon-y goodness

What I like best about this product is it's a nice break from the usual 'holier-than-thou' attitude of some vegan/natural food products. Really, how many products flaunt their vegan-ness then mention how good their product tastes on a nice juicy steak?  

Yep, time to pull these here babies out of storage:
