Turkey bacon

Our roommate has sworn off pork. Is there a turkey bacon that is even remotely edible that I can buy for her? Most, if not all, has all the warmth and charm of a piece of cardboard.

IMO every turkey bacon tastes like cardboard.

If she won't eat bacon, well, too bad for her.

Agree with Beth.

Anything besides real turkey is just gross.I would not waste money on it.Not eating pork is on her, not you..

It seems like turkey anything always tastes like something other than turkey. If she does not want bacon, give her the turkey stuff and make the real thing for yourself. She might change her mind while setting across the table from you guys munching on the real thing and making yum yum noises.

Cassis says she does not like pork but eats bacon, bratwurst, tenderloin roasts, etc. She won't eat breakfast sausage or pork with bones attached though.

Our roomie actually loves pork but she is a bit of an odd nut. She gets these things into her head and it is currently pork. She won't eat pork any more because pigs are cute and smart. She won't eat lamb or veal for similar reasons. I have no intention of giving up real bacon. I eat so little of it that I want the real thing. It is sort of like good ice cream: I would rather have one bite of good quality ice cream than a half gallon of cheap stuff.

Roomie has been letting you do the work long enough.

I'd let her fend for herself ~ preferably from someone else's spare room.....

Tell her you found some bacon from a dumb and ugly hog.

That is so funny Norm! I will give it a try. LOL.

Beth, I must admit I feel like a field hand. The family cotton-picker. An indentured servant. No one cleans or cooks except me.
I want to clean her room and bathroom but she gets really upset when people touch her things. The problem is that she doesn't even clean her rooms. I had to stop going in there because it upset me to see the mess and dirt. I am by no means a great housekeeper but I can't stand clutter (like a hoarder) or dirt. There is so much dog and cat hair in there that it is piled up in layers around the room. She has lived with us for over two years and has never used a vacuum cleaner in there. Probably because there is no room to move it around.
I can't kick her out because she has no place to go and she is paying us rent which really has helped since my DH got laid off.

I know it's not perfect but I use Oscar mayer turkey bacon. I love bacon and can't eat it very often since it's got way more calories and fat than allowed on my eating program.

I make it on the oven and keep it in a Ziploc in the fridge so I have it when I want it. Of course, I'd prefer to eat 'real' bacon, but this works well for me.

By the way....my eating plan allowed me to lose over 80 lbs so far. And...I even lost weight while on my 3 week cruise and vacation. Now that makes me happy.

WOW! That is incredible!
