Was Sizzlean a pork product? Was it reconstituted meat like turkey bacon?
I thought it was a soybean based bacon substitute.
Low fat beef bacon. Documentary evidence.
Also known as facon.
It doesn’t actually say that it is beef bacon in the ad. Is it reconstituted like turkey bacon? Or is it literally beef bacon, as in the cured belly of a bovine carcass?
Sizzlean may not have tasted as good as bacon, but if the soy based stuff tasted like that I would be eating it for breakfast lunch and dinner every day.
This is a good question. After googling and googling, I can’t find anything definitive. Some say it’s turkey bacon. Others say it’s pork bits with a little fat pounded into strips that are leaner than regular bacon. I can’t find anybody saying it’s soy or beef.
It’s soylent brown.
I don’t know if it was pork or beef but yes, it was reconstituted meat product made to look like bacon, like today’s turkey “bacon.” I remember eating it when I was a kid, when my dad wasn’t supposed to eat real bacon and so my mom bought it. It wasn’t bad, but not remotely bacon-ish. It definitely was not soy or soy product, as my Montana dad would never in a million years have eaten anything soy.
Here endeth the anecdotal evidence.
