ZOMBIE THREADSPOTTING: Bacon Salt

But… we want something that tastes like bacon, not fake-ass soy nuggets with smoke flavor added. As a vegetarian who still remembers (and cooks for aforementioned omnivorous husband) bacon, I’ve tried many veg-approved “fake-on” bits and they aren’t bacony goodness.

Edit: WRT the salt, I’m hoping they turn out a potassium chloride version if we make them popular enough.

Once my 3-pack gets here, I’m tempted to try adding Bacon Salt to Bacon itself. But I’m afraid of opening some kind of earth-devouring bacony (mmmm) wormhole. Any physicists here with this sort of space-swine insight?

I drunkenly (and stupidly, I know) attempted this last week after running out of vodka and bloody mary mix to add celery salt to celery that intoxicated night… thankfully we’re all still here. But I fear Bacon is MUCH more powerful.

I say that we follow the instructions here, make Asimovian a bacon cap and declare him Bacon Pope!

Bacon. The candy bar of meat. Jack.

“Bacon Pope.” Yeah, I kinda like the sound of that.

My wife keeps complaining to me that it still just says “Member” under my name when there clearly needs to be some kind of bacony title now.

Oh, hey, and shouldn’t this thread, above all others, be a “sticky”? (Ooooh, sticky bacon! Like maybe bacon gum! [Homer] Bacon gum! Auuuuuurgh!!! [/Homer])

What do you propose for your regnal name? Pope Porky I?

What the hell do you think is in this so called Bacon Salt, Einstein? Have you tried Bacon Salt? It’s kosher and vegetarian, there ain’t a shred of real bacon in there, and very likely the ingredients are nothing more than fake ass soy with smoke flavor added. In fact they probably use the exact same artificial flavors in the same ratios as bacon bits. It’s surely got hydrolized soy and smoke flavoring…you can take that to the bank.

LOL. You are such a bubble burster! :smiley:

I ordered it anyway. I also purchased the New Harry Potter book for my brother this morning.

weeps

I’m on a low-salt diet.

Early reviews by a SDMBer say this tastes like bacon. As I said in the post I quoted, I’ve tried a ton of fake-bacon bits (as has my still-bacon-eating husband) and those don’t taste like bacon. Maybe the soy stuff interferes with the flavor, I dunno, but if so that still means we can’t stick them in a blender and make our own - or at least, I can’t cause I think it tastes bleah.

So either a poster named Pork Rind, of all things, has forgotten what bacon tastes like, or we’ve got something on our hands that doesn’t taste like the crap they stick in bottles and proclaim to be “bacon bits.” And knock it off with the “Einstein” comments, ok?

Besides, what would Einstein know from bacon? He kept kosher. :smiley:

Well DUH!
Everything is better with bacon on it. Just ask my dog.

ETA: three pack on the way.

But with Bacon Salt he could have had both kosher and bacon! I bet he’d have figured out his Grand Unification Theory if Bacon Salt had been around when he was alive! :smiley:

E = NaCl*Bacon^2

With all the posters hanging their tongues out in anticipation of their Bacon Salt orders, I’m surprised no one’s included this site:

How about organic vegan bacon bits ?

What exactly is in this stuff? If it’s “kosher” and “vegetarian,” how do they simulate the flavor of bacon?

The ingredients list is lengthy, to be sure.

But the Bacon Salt has been acquired, and a full report will follow.

For those who have the Bacon Salt already: What’s the sodium content per serving?

For those of us on “lower-sodium” diets, here’s the math:

Regular iodized salt: 1 gram = 393mg sodium
Morton Lite Salt: 1 gram = 207mg sodium

Bacon Salt:
Original: 1 gram = 150mg sodium
Peppered: 1 gram = 135mg sodium
Hickory: 1 gram = 150mg sodium

NO CALORIES, NO FAT, NO CARBS, NO SUGAR.

IT’S BACON. AND IT’S GOOD FOR YOU!!!
