I have a hard time, personally, understanding people’s obsession with bacon specifically. I admit bacon is delicious, but if I had to choose between bacon and chicken, I’d have far more difficulty giving up chicken.
bacon is packed with salt, fat, and protein… it’s kinda everything you crave on a basic level… i’m with you for bacon in general, but like little bacon pieces through a dish is hard to beat to add a bit of a lift
my usual judgement for vegetarian dishes is “would it be better with bacon?” mostly because i often find vegetarian is missing just a bit of all those things, and bacon gives it a bit of body… not to say those dishes should have bacon of course, but it’s just kinda a yard stick because i don’t know vegetarian cooking nearly well enough to be able to pick out vegetarian ways i think the dish could be improved
Part of its appeal is that it’s basic. It is a better base for a meal than something like bacon. You can completely change it with seasonings so that it never gets old. It can be prepared in countless ways.

I found giving up cheese to be harder than any meat. Non-dairy cheeses still aren’t quite there yet, but they’re getting better.
There was a period of the internet where bacon was very trendy for some reason, I didn’t quite understand it either.
Yeah, cheese is the one for me. Gummy bears and marshmallows were tough, but cheese… Man, I’m not sure I can make that leap.
Vegan marshmallows just don’t do it for me :( I still eat them but I haven’t found a brand that isn’t too dense.
Matrshmallows that aren’t disapointingly airy? Sounds interesting.
I think you may be the target audience. They are more filling though so you can’t eat as many. I’m never sure if that is a good thing or not.
Narwhal bacons at midnight?
That’d be it, yep.
Probably was the pork industry astroturfing bacon anyway

I find chicken to be the most uninterting of all of the meats. I still eat it, but it has no wow or mmmmm factor whatsoever.
