Just curious: Did they actually taste anything like maple and bacon? And if so: How the Hill did they manage to get it to do that? :confused:

Me, all the timeNo - slightly smoky and a bit sweet, but not bacon-like at all. Ingredients of the seasoning: Smoked dextrose Demerara sugar Yeast extract Sugar Salt Thyme Onion powder Citric acid Paprika (for colour)

That's why it says "suitable for vegetarians". Presumably, those who actually eat bacon would know the difference...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

I tried bacon toothpaste[^] bought on Amazon once (and never again!). It also just tasted smoky, but no bacon. Strange that some people seem to think that that's the same thing?!?!? As far as the toothpaste is concerned, it didn't foam at all, so it was useless as toothpaste all the same, bacon or no bacon taste...

One of the stocking fillers I got for Christmas was a bag of Maple Bacon flavoured mixed nuts. I have just looked at the package and it says "suitable for vegetarians"! WTF!!? There is no maple syrup (meh) and no bacon listed in the ingredients. The nearest it has been to a pig is probably when the delivery truck drove within 50 miles of a farm on its way to Tesco. How can they get away with stuff like that?

It's aimed at the Muslim Halal market I guess.

Get away with what? 'Flavoured' products are not required to contain any of the ingredients which they are meant to taste like. Even the endless screeds of EU regulations don't demand it. There's no banana in most banana milk shakes, no hedgehog in hedgehog crisps, and probably no butter in your butter biscuits. Caveat emptor, amice, caveat emptor!

I think it is not just limited for "Muslim Halal Market". Is it?

I wouldn't think it was suitable for Muslims as it mentions bacon. I was being facetious about a bacon flavour snack being vegetarian and as it contained no meat (especially pig) it could be used by Muslims.

Like Baconnaise[^], which doesn't taste like bacon either! I'm very septic to anything claiming to taste like bacon without any actual bacon in it! X|

If it's any consolation, my first attempt at curing my own bacon seems to be going well: it had its last dose of curing rub yesterday, and will get rinsed off tomorrow. Then with some luck I can eat it on Friday!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

:thumbsup: When it is done, do try your best to describe the "flavor", in all its detail. Perhaps a video showing your eyeballs rolling back into your head, as most sharks do, as they bite into their prey. :)
