foods that do not exist

[baratron]

You know what I really hate? Dreaming about foodstuffs that do not yet exist. Last night I had a fantastic dream about vegan bacon that actually had the texture of real bacon, without a list of E numbers as long as my arm. (Vegetarian "bacon" currently available tastes like salty cardboard and has a million and one artificial additives). Then I woke up. A few weeks ago, I dreamt about going to an ice cream parlour, desperately wanting a milkshake, and I was told "it's okay, all the ice creams here are soya or oat"...

Grrrr!

I was thinking about Morningstar Streaky Strips, actually. The fake bacon that is dyed randomly yellow and red to give the appearance of real bacon (despite the fact the yellow and red bits are identical in composition!).

I remember one morning when I'd just got together with Richard and we'd been out to Slimelight for the night, microwaving and eating an entire packet of them. Eurgh. I don't think I've had them since...

Dear ghod. They're available here, too - and just as awful. (I liked their sausage links, though, when I was still eating veg.)
