Thanks to Amazon, friendly neighbourhood everywhere market, I now have Bacon Salt in my personal arsenal.
I’m sad to report that a taste from the jar offers a flavor shockingly similar to Bac-Os, which is disappointing to say the least. But I am willing to give it a real shot, in a recipe, in heat, over the stove.
Now that it’s sitting on my counter, I don’t know how I feel about Bacon Salt. On one hand, it really is vegetarian, kosher, etc. On the other hand, is it just an easy way around the dreaded bacon prohibition?
I will give it a fair shake. I have my doubts that it will adequately impart that irreplacable bacon flavor. Perhaps it will require immersion in schmaltz to be effective… that is an appealing idea.
