Cienna, tell me you asked them how the hell they make it (no calories, vegetarian, etc.) taste like bacon?!?

Another Kosher food appearing to delight our taste buds is always cause for celebration. The basic laws of kashrut fouond in the Torah's Book of Leviticus demand vegan dining to be in God's light.

I can't wait to try kosher bacon salt. The pork eating goyium with their bacon burgers disgust me. Now I can eat bacon flavored foods and remain above goyium.

Tacoma, Idaho? That doesn't sound local to me! Oh, the labels are printed on Capitol Hill? That's more like it.

ah, that's not meant to imply that Tacoma is in Idaho...sarcasm gone terribly wrong there...

in related news, the steelhead diner offers smoked salt in its shakers, which is pretty goddam good.

Alas, my Doc says, "Bacon - bad. Salt - bad." So, no Bacon Salt for me, boo-hoo.

@4:

It sounds like you might have thought Cienna was making a "funny" by mixing up an anagram for "Pike Place Market", however, she's referring to a real store (if by "store" we mean, "a fru-fru-chi-chi upscale convenience store") up on Pike & Belmont I believe.

OVER salt eating is a major problem in American Health - TOO much sodium.

Water retention, messes with your heart, blood pressure, hyper tension, much longer list.

Bacon salt, go get fucked. Have not used salt in any form for twenty years.

Try a splash of hot sauce, MUCH better than bogus chemical laden salt concoctions - also lemon and lime juice help flavor anything, all natural.

So rather than including naturally delicious bacon, they instead use corn syrup, bleached flour, monosodium glutamate, maltodextin, vegetable shortening (trans fat), and hydrolyzed veggie protein?

Um, no thanks. I'll stick to the real thing and let the vegetarians eat all that shit.

Amy Kate--

I was prepared to be horrified at the list of ingredients, but the main ones are relatively mild. Here are the top 5 for Original Flavor:Salt, dehydrated garlic, paprika, dehydrated onion, and corn syrup. Most of the other ingredients are recognizable as well.

I have no idea how they pull it off, but it really does taste like delicious bacon.

wow. msg AND transfat. with the taste of bacon? I'll have to make sure to pick up a gallon of soda to drink with that one.

For awhile I was excited about Bacon Salt, but then I realized I could just make some real bacon and sprinkle THAT on everything.

So .. what did the kid do that won him the money on AFV? Was he the kid whose eyes would bug out when they turned the lights out on him, or what?

Thanks to google...

And none of that would have been possible without the help of Lefkow's three-year-old, Dean. The family recorded a video of the boy hitting a T-ball into his dad's face. That video was picked in a random drawing from America's Funniest Home Videos, winning $5,000.

Also...

@10

It does say an all natural version is coming soon...

But, aside from that...

I was vegetarian for 7+ years and I can now (re)attest that there is absolutely nothing as delicious as bacon. Oh, wait...except for *THIS*!!!!

And just to provide that contrary opinion so popular on these here Slogs, *I* have been a vegetarian for 7+ years and can (re)attest that bacon is nasty, nasty shit. Still can't stomach the stuff.

Bacon Salt is the fucking shit. I'll gladly down minuscule amounts of hydrogenated oil and MSG for convenient bacony goodness all over my popcorn, eggs & potatoes. Viva la Bacon Salt!

I'll wait for the "natural" version. Not that the original "flavors" aren't okay, but they taste, well, artificial. Then again, packaged American bacon tastes artificial, too.

You can have my nitrate-free, heirloom pork bacon when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Absolutely irrelevant to the discussion of it being kashrout, or vegan, or whatever - BUT - I just went past their display booth at the Puyallup.


They have quite possibly the world's most amazingly gorgeous tall redhead there dispensing BaconSalt.


I may die of dehydration I had so many samples. . .

Would she still be gorgeous if she was dispensing cod liver oil samples?

Yes.

Bacon Salt has changed my life! Someone should nominate these guys for a Nobel Prize!

Bacon Salt does not make your beer taste better. You've been warned.

I like bacon flavor and all, but, Cholula seasoning is where it's at.

Ugh. I just imagined not having had salt in 20 years and now I have to spend the rest of the day huddled beneath my desk with my trusty salt lick.

"Essex" is the anti-me.
