What if I don't eat pork?

Question

Why is it with so many people (Muslims, Jews, Jehova's Witnesess, 7th Day Adventists.....and those of us by personal choice) that don't eat pork, more retaurants don't offer pork substitutes? Why can't I get turkey bacon at a deli or turkey peperoni with delivery?

Answer 1

I haven't eaten pork since around 2000, and I have found if a company does have pork alternatives you have to ask for it, the problem with pork substitutes is they are more costly than standard pork products.

Answer 2

Really good question. There are WAY more meat substitutes for chicken and cow, but not pig.
The best that I have found is morning star veggie bacon (frying it is better than using the microwave---makes it crispy and not soggy-ish). You can use this with the Yves or Tofurkey faux deli turkey slices to make your own great sandwich.
Other great options, especially for pizza, are Gimme Lean because you can shape it anyway you want to (faux meatballs for spaghetti, tiny Little faux sausage for pizza, or links/patties of Faux meat for breakfast dishes).
But this still doesn't answer your question, why cant I BUY this food already prepared and ready to be served at restaurants? Probably because a)too much money in the slaughtering business to allow big chains that oppose pig meat or b) you live in a town that doesn't cater to people like us. I live in a great town/city (Portland, OR) where alot of this food is available, in stores, restaurants, and even pizza deliver.
It's a beautiful pizza even offers Tempeh on their slices, god I love Portland and PIGS :)
Great question, enjoy your options, and contact me if you want any more options.
PEACE.
