    Yeah, and no chefs in Chef Salad!

      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?

        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!

        :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. :)

          That's because it's Chef's Salad. Lack of punctuation can kill. There's a big difference between "Let's eat, Grandma" and "Let's eat Grandma". :-D

              The logic behind faux meat escapes me entirely. If you're a conscience vegetarian why would you want to trick yourself or anyone else into believing that you're eating meat? If you're a health vegetarian why would you consume a product processed within an inch of its your life?

                Oddly, I thought about this in the last day or so. You're actually asking the wrong question. Consider what's "faux'ed": processed compositions which include, as a major ingredient, meat. They do not, in fact, look like meat at all. Consider that for a bit. So - your question goes away, entirely, and the real issue, then, is can a certain meal be produced with a different set of ingredients and (1) still taste good; (2) Supply a desirable texture and consistency to the user? Another Consider: If pepperoni weren't full of all the spices, etc., what would it taste like? For that matter, the (absurdly) revered bacon? Imagine (at least for most people) how they'd like the taste of their meat of it weren't charred to some degree - changing its flavor away from that of meat. A good argument, then, is that the desired flavors are the result of external additives and/or thermal decomposition products. So, given the appropriate texture, spices, and a set of thermal decomposition products (when appropriate) that are tasty - they're all the same. One more thing: I've an ethical vegetarian. It has nothing to do with health - just ethics and morality. No leather clothing, for example, but I do enjoy Single Malt scotch, potato chips, &etc.

                    No - 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)
