I was a vegetarian for about 4 years. (Wife had cancer.)
There is no satisfactory bacon substitute. Anyone who says there is...is a dirty, no good liar.
You can get by on your burger cravings for like crappy little diner burgers with the morningstar stuff and dress it up. It works. It's okay.
But not bacon. How did I revert? I literally asked for no bacon on a very hungover breakfast morning at a diner while on tour. Waitress forgot; set the plate down in front of me with four perfectly seared strips of bacon on top of my eggs.
"Oh, my god, I'm sorry!"
"Don't you touch that plate."
Nothing ever tasted so good in all my life. And I'm a foodie asshole with Michelin Star chefs for friends.
*yes, I ate eggs while vegetarian. **** off. I ate cheese too. Kiss my ass.
