Mmmm tofakon! Becky sure is good to me. It turned out really well and helped curb my self imposed lent bacon craving.

Another good bacon substitute is parmesan crisps — I think it’s the saltiness and the crispness. However real bacon might be better for you

yes, well, remember, i haven’t had meat in 22 years (or 25 or something that makes me sound very old). so i guess we’d really have to ask simon if i know what i’m doing or not. i mean, i know what i’m doing in a vegetarian sort of way : )

Oh, I just don’t know….I mean, we’re talking about BACON here. BACON.

Nothing beats great, crispy bacon, but I know you know what you’re doing…

Everyone is commenting on the bacon but I want to say that the gravy looks great. I’ve also had the poorly thought out soymilk gravy and your right, it doesn’t work. This looks really delicious and I like how low-fat it is. Maybe I’ll make it for dinner.

I saw a photo of egg-shaped bacon yesterday. The force is unstoppable. Your bacon looks fantastic, and the mushroom gravy must have been divine! I still need to get a copy of Veganomicon.

Wow – what a great blog! and brilliant bacon idea! Although I’m not sure my husband would as enthusiastically go for it…

Tofu bacon tastes like chicken… tee hee! We actually broil seasoned tofu with a light oil coating and it turns out much like this, crispy and crunchy and yummy. We change seasonings with the season, going hot sometimes or Italian and herbaceous others. Tofu is so versatile and, to someone who has eaten it for years anyway, tasty! We’ll probably try this soon. And even though we eat meat in our household we do it sparingly and we do like a lot of the veggie foods, tempeh and such, so I’m going to check Veganomicon out of the library and see if it’s one we want to own.

Funny post! Very fun. And I’m with Claudia, I may just make up some tofu and call it bacon. Plus egg.
