Tofu Bacon

But despite all that sentiment, you still want to know and experience what the poor pig really tasted like? That's weird. And twisted.
Why not do the poor pig justice and eat it instead of some strange morphing substance? I still don't get it, and I never will...

Are you against tofu bacon for yourself or are you against it for everyone else?

I can understand people deciding to go veggie or vegan, but not then trying to make their substitute food look like or taste like meat, or fish or whatever.
Surely it would make sense just to eat the tofu as it comes without adding artificial ingredients in an effort to make it like the food that you won't eat.
Or maybe it's because tofu 'as it comes' tastes terrible, that it doesn't taste like the food you really want to savour

It is great that you agree with the reasons why people should refuse to eat animal products on animal welfare grounds. So why are we continuing with this conversation? However, your comments need clarity. I just posted a recipe for bacon that is as tasty as real meat-based bacon. If someone is horrified by the process to make real bacon, and sure they should be horrified then why should they continue to eat real bacon when alternatives are available?

i will repeat the question for you to answer;

I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to be against tofu, or any other foodstuff, for anyone other than myself. And maybe you're right: we'll agree to disagree
over whole tasteless affair... ;-)

This post was only about the tasty virtues of tofu bacon but you framed it about the meat industry.

Just watched the video, doesn't look anything like bacon...

Where's the delicious strips of fat that give it so much flavour?
Looks more like slices of fried spam.

Would be better if you substituded the oil for lard though.

What about crackling, can you make that out of tofu?
