1) Plant a shipload of carrots.2) Leave the country for two weeks, about a month after they really should have been harvested.3) Return home, pull a carrot, and boggle: holy carp, this thing is the size of a baby's arm holding an apple.4) Purchase a deep-fryer. (This is actually Step Zero; you should already have purchased a deep fryer.)5) Peel the skin off your carrot, and then use extra pressure on the the peeler to slowly slice the meat of the carrot into thin, bacon-like strips.6) To remove any vitamins, minerals, and/or lingering taste of carrot, deep-fry in 375-degree canola oil for a minute and a half. Batch size: the thin-sliced flesh of one very large carrot.7) Blot gently with paper towel.8) Sprinkle with truffled salt.9) Try not to just snaffle them all up right there, standing over the sink.10) Bask in the approbation of your family and friends, especially the vegan ones. (You might not want to tell the kids they're eating carrots until they've tasted one.)Flickr
Coming from the guy that doesn't eat real bacon anymore...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about pastrami? I've heard thin sliced, pan fried pastrami is almost as good as bacon. Crispy and tasty.
I'll have to try that. There's a kosher deli/bakery down the street from the synagogue I've been attending. I just can't bring myself to try turkey "bacon."
Oh bugger. I forgot. My bad. So, when you need a bacon fix, try out bacon salt. You can buy it at Krogers, that is where I do, and there is no bacon in it. So you can salt things with bacon salt and get the taste.http://baconsalt.com/It's Kosher too!
I found this burger blog the other week... he mentions fried pastrami and makes it sound really, really good.http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/08/the-burger-lab-the-pastrami-burger-bomb.html
Excellent.
IF BACON IS SO BAD WHY DO THEY TRY TO IMITATE IT ALL THE TIME..? I sure hope imitate is the word I am looking for?
$17 a pound? Holy crap! I don't remember it being that expensive here... I'll have to check some other time.That does look good.
Because some of us can't eat bacon.
I fried some bacon, I dropped a slice on the floor. Usually a 5 second rule would apply, but this one fell between my cabinet and fridge. It was sad.
You do realize, of course, that the ants are having a bacon (hay) day.
Oh, I picked it up. It was a little too dirty to eat. Although I did consider it.
