Anyone know where I can buy vegetarian bacon bits?!
Anyone know where I can buy vegetarian bacon bits?
I live in west Yorkshire (lancs border) I want to buy vege bacon or bacon bits, help any one?
Answers:
Redwoods make 'rashers' which are available in most healthfood stores. There are 'Bacos' which are soy bacon flavoured pieces, you can get these from morrisons but they are GM. Hope this helps, if you get stuck pm me, i think we may live locally !
most Iceland stores sell Quorn bacon-style pieces.
Isn't vegetarian bacon an oxymoron? Or is pig a vegetable now?
Tesco do Vegetarian Bacon Flavour Slices which are very good and they should be open late tonight hopefully.
dont know when you posted this but all the shop are now closed
If you read the label most bacon bits are made from soy, real bacon bits are rare and pretty expensive.
Hope this helps (always read the labels)
Sainsburies, Tesco, Iceland. Quorn bacon style stuff. It is a good substitute.
Holland and Barrett sells rashers which aren't as good but still fine.
you can get them at whole foods thats where i get them and they also have tofurfy it is great you should get it some time
Morning Star brand sells non-meat bacon strips. You can find them in the freezer section of most grocery stores.
No, I eat meat, in eating animals I keep their life cycle going. If we all stopped eating animals they would die out!! as we have domesticated them and they no longer have the ability to live 'wild' no farmer is going to keep them just for show!! it's tough love, but it's true!!
I know the brand Morning Star makes fake bacon. But I'm not sure about bacon bits! You can find most Morning Star products at your local grocery store
lots of them are vegetarian now...they say "no cholesterol" on the label
I don't know if these are available in your area or not, but Bacos, the really cheap bacon bits, don't have a drop of meat in them! Great for soups and potatoes!

If you fry pumpkin seeds they smell just like bacon. Very good in salads instead of bacon bits but no good if you want to wrap something in a bacon substitute.
Be careful of "natural flavors" in the soy bits. It often means it has some type of pig juice in it. I do know for a fact that Betty Crocker Bacos are vegan. Hopefully they are available in your area. The only sure way to know is to ask. Sometimes they will tell you what natural flavorings are and sometimes they wont. To answer Felecity's question: A lot of people who like the taste of meat still give it up out of principle and hence we have meat substitues. The idea is to get a meaty taste without actually killing an animal. I think people get confused and look at eating meat like we do smoking where as when you quit if you just have one at a later time your hooked again. This is not the case with meat. So meat substitutes are great for the people who miss meat or need it for a certain recipe as long as the animal is not killed or maimed. The other thing I have noticed though is that the longer you dont eat meat, the less you want it. I even find the smell of most Deli's sickening now and I dont want my food prepared anywhere near an animal carcass.
Bacos brand is made of soy.
I don't know, but why would a vegetarian want bacon bits? You either give up eating meat or you don't. Why hanker after the flavour? Confused!

It's available in most shops - Holland and Barrett sell "Morning Star" brand bacon. Tescos have there own brand of veggie bacon.
I noticed yesterday that Iceland Superstore now sells Quorn bacon rashers. Good luck, hope you have an Iceland near you. If not give them a call and you will find they are very helpful.
