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!

FWIW, the kosher shops I've had soy bacon at seem to do a better job than most commercial preparations for vegeterians. If you have a Kosher shop near you, you might have better luck.

I think in the Jewish parts of London they have "Kosher beef bacon". Which isn't much use for me...

Tivall make Kosher food that is also vegetarian, but if they do bacon, the shops near me don't have it. Hmmm. I should look for a catalogue, or try Golders Green some time. Presumably not on a Saturday, though.

I'd agree-Saturday might not be the best time to check out the Kosher shops.
