    Hi Nancy and Ruth,

    ... Bacon has no substitute.
    I keep telling Steve that turkey bacon is not a substitute for the
    real thing. (G) The mouth feel isn't the same, nor does it cook like
    real

    But I also keep saying that it is more like Canadian Bacon in that it
    is very lean and cooks much the same way. If one insists it has to be
    like fatty bacon, it will come up lacking. However, I think it is good when taken for what it is.

    It still doesn't taste like real bacon, fatty or not... and has a
    distinctly different taste from the Canadian Bacon as well... I suppose
    if one were merely thinking of it as smoked turkey, that might not be
    too bad.... but I'd still rather have the bacon... ;)

    Of course it doesn't taste like real bacon. Neither does Canadian Bacon.
    That is why I think that it is good in its own right and not as a
    "substitute" for bacon. They are, despite having similar appearances as
    thin slices, not the same product.

    Regards,
