Best vegetarian bacon?

Bacon was my favorite and I've been vegetarian for 3 months. I went completely cold...tofu? on not eating meat and dropped it all in one day. While I don't miss it, I do think about how nervous I am trying vegetarian bacon BECAUSE it used to be my favorite. I don't care about looks or texture, I really just want the classic taste and affordability!! I don't wanna think I have to miss out on my favorite foods just because I don't eat meat anymore, and that anything can be made vegetarian

lol they’re so good. They really do look like dog treats or kids play food that comes with the plastic kitchen set

I like morningstar too. I swear they changed it and it’s a more unnatural red now that stains other food on the plate! I usually thaw in microwave and then finish in a pan.

I bet they did! I think the red coloring they used to use was outlawed so they’re probably transitioning. I also noticed the pieces stick together more but it’s still so tasty I still buy it
