Review: A non-vegan's favorite bacon. - I'm not a vegan and literally ate Turkey bacon the morning this was delivered. This is delicious. It is thin and can get crunchy if you overcook it but it has a little bit of a pepperoni after taste, which I felt was odd but still delicious. I ate a few slices on the side and combined some more with vegan eggs to make a breakfast sandwich. This is my new favorite bacon.
Review: Tasty vegan bacon! Just make sure you're cooking in oil - I think these look disgusting raw but taste and crisp up great! If you're getting these to be super healthy, good luck to you, but if you're just looking for a vegan replacement for bacon, remember to add oil!!! And honestly, this applies to every vegan bacon I've tried. There's no actual bacon fat in these of course, and they're very blah if you just cook them as is. Bacon is bacon largely because of all the fat, let's be real, so however you cook them, make sure you're adding some. You don't have to go nuts or anything, I just spray both sides with a vegan cooking spray (more than I'd use on just a pan, but still, I'll lay out 2 or 3 slices, spray once or twice, close enough to hit all the slices but not much around them, flip and repeat) and cook them in an air fryer, and yeah, I think they're great. I have cooked them in a pan too, and same thing, remember to add a little fat--I just prefer the air fryer because they're thin and can cook a little too fast and burn on the stove. They're not my absolute favorite vegan bacon, but I think they're pretty darned good for my uses.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad
*by C***S on August 27, 2020*

I tried this for the first time. At first try it was kind of chewy but the next day I fried it pretty hard and the crunchiness of it actually made it flavorful. Definitely has an acquired taste to it, but not the worst. I could get use to it. It does not taste like bacon at all, but from other bacon alternatives I have tried this is the best one.
