My alma mater has developed seaweed that tastes like bacon

Oregon State University develops seaweed that tastes like bacon

Now that is research I can support. A magical plant that grows bacon.

if this is true…Seaweed already tastes salty and meaty so I can see it happening.

This just might get me to eat my vegetables.

Great news for the Muslim community!

Not to mention for our porcine friends. Free the even-toed ungulates!

I’ll believe it when I see it. On my plate. Piles and piles of delicious baco-seaweed.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

I suppose it would be too confusing to call it “Beaver Bacon.”

Hopefully it’s not just some vegan guy who hasn’t had bacon in 20 years claiming it tastes like bacon.

What about mouth feel?

My mouth feels dubious about it.

I’m skeptical but this could be the greatest breakthrough since… since forever!

ETA: I probably should have put this in Cafe Society.

I’ll bet ten pounds of bacon it does not, in fact, taste like bacon.

“Dulse – People don’t know it’s not bacon.”

“IT’S BACONNNNNNN!”

Because there’s only one thing that tastes like bacon and that’s bacon. ETA: wow, scooped by less than a minute!

There already is a thread there.

As I posted in the other thread:
“Dulse – People don’t know it’s not bacon.”

“IT’S BACONNNNNNN!”

First thought: can we dry it like nori and make bacony sushi?

I just had some vegan friends do that with their vegan sloppy joes at a party a few days ago. Umm…no. If you wanted to call it sloppy risotto masala, then I’d be ok with it, but sloppy joe it was not.

Oops. I guess this one can be closed or merged.
