The terms “vegetarian” and “bacon” seem like diametrical concepts, but apparently at some point along the way some formerly-bacon-loving vegetarians have found a way to bring these two worlds together.

 

A firm called Lightlife makes a product called Smart Bacon that is mostly made from soy.

 

And I came across a recipe on VegWeb for Vegan Bacon made from tofu cooked with yeast, soy sauce and liquid smoke.

 

Does this mean that even vegans and vegetarians can’t resist the smell and taste of bacon? This may prove that bacon is the most powerful meat ever.

 

This post is in honor of my vegetarian friend, Kathleen.
