» Feature Writer Rosemary Drisdelle - What to use instead of salt pork, bacon etc.


Your blog on smoked foods reminded me of a dilemma I often face. Smoked foods are pretty easy for a vegetarian (nuts, cheese, fish if you eat it, smoked tofu is great), but what can I use in place of salt pork, bacon etc. Some recipes just beg for that little something - like baked beans, or some potatoe recipes. I've tried adding some dulse, or Asian preserved vegetables. They're okay but they don't quite cut it. Salt fish tastes, well, fishy, and soy based "bacon bits" disintegrate. Any ideas? I suppose I should be visiting the vegetarian page for this...
