Bacon sandwiches, what's the vegetarian equivalent?

Question

I ask because I've known a few vegetarians who have really missed eating bacon sandwiches since turning veggie.

I couldn't imagine living without a bacon sarnie and brown sauce.

Answer 1

you can buy yeast strips but it defeats the object of the exercise doesn't it?

Answer 2

I have found that trying to substitute other products for meat just flat out sucks. However, a grill cheese made with hickory smoked cheese seems to hit the spot and has the hickory flavor like bacon does. If you don't eat cheese, you can brush thin slices of tofu with liquid smoke, a little salt and fry them up for a decent sandwich. Toasting the bread and using crisp lettuce helps give you a crunch texture. It's not bacon, but it's not bad either.

Answer 3

There are quite a few bacon alternatives for us veggies. Quorn and own brand supermarket equivalents. When i lived in Australia they had a lovely range of "not" products eg: not-bacon, not-chicken etc, though I always find it a little strange to have products that are trying to taste like meat but I suppose it's a way to keep the veggie of the family eating roughly the same meals as the rest of the family but with substitutes.

i don't likely have a fave. I basically love sandwiches frequently. they're easily considered one of my popular meals. I often basically throw a sandwich mutually from even though clean greens I even have handy. at the instant this is been uncooked beets, string beans, bell peppers, some style of oniony factor (onions, leeks, chives, scallions, and so forth.), homegrown lettuces & vegetables, nasturtium, & dill from my backyard, and a few vegenaise or dressing of a few style in a wrap quite of on bread. I additionally prefer to throw in some style of chilly leftover tofu or seitan or something like that, if I even have any. And, i like undeniable tomato or clean green sandwiches this time of three hundred and sixty 5 days...basically a good number of tomatoes or homegrown lettuces & vegetables with some vegenaise, and probably quite salt, dill, and/or basil. (heavily, there isn't something like homegrown lettuces, vegetables & tomatoes.) regrettably, my tomatoes are nonetheless fairly small & green precise now because of the fact the climate has been so weird and wonderful this three hundred and sixty 5 days, so i've got not had a brilliant tomato sandwich yet. :( I loooove avocados on sandwiches too, yet they're particularly high priced here, so i are not getting them very in lots of cases. :( I basically offered one the different day however, because of the fact I plan on making some vegan sushi Friday night. :) I additionally love falafel & a stable abode made veggie burger. Oh, and portabello burgers. :)

Answer 5

take yams or extra large carrots and slice thinly
and soak in soya sauce for 3 hours. ( If You wish U could add grape seed extract to the soya sauce) after 3 hours seperate the soya sauce and the strips.. ( don't dump the sauce down the drain as it can be used for soup or something later) put the soya sauce in fridge for some other use later! Take the strips let them dry then fry in cooking oil until crispy!
if U wish U can add some seasoning salt to
this fake bacon! Some vegetarians like to dip
the strips in corn meal before frying the strips in oil!
Oh you can make fake bologna same method except you use thin slices of beats and soak in
soya sauce and then fry in oil! Enjoy!

And chicken and fish are NOT vegetarian - vegetarians do not eat any meat whatsoever.

"Vegetarianism is the practice of not consuming meat, with or without the use of other animal derivatives, such as dairy products or eggs. Some vegetarians choose to also refrain from wearing clothing involving the death of animals, such as leather, silk and fur. Veganism, sometimes called "strict vegetarianism", excludes all animal products from diet and attire, whether or not this involves the actual death of an animal (dairy, eggs, honey, wool and down feathers)."

Answer 8

You can buy vegetarian bacon and that makes a VERY good sandwich. I really like it. They are available in health food shops and the vegetarian department in the supermarket

Answer 9

Foxy knows he's wrong, just ignore his answer.

I cut up quorn slices, grill it, fry or scramble some eggs.

There you go, that'll do.

I never even think of wanting a bacon sandwich. It a common myth that veggies are pining after meat, ignorant meat-eaters quote this as being some sot of sign that we're wrong. like I say,its a myth, most veggies repulse at the thought of eating meat

Answer 10

You can get fake bacon (Morning Star, Tesco's own brand). You need a bit of something else to pep them up (I like mustard or mushrooms with mine), but they're OK.
Also, most bacon flavour crisps are veggie. It's the cheese ones you've gotta watch.

Answer 11

In the frozen food section of many supermarkets, you can get Quorn bacon slices which are really good. These are of course vegetarian substitutes...But they taste great, are better for you and you don't ever have to worry about gristle!!
