then all the bacon you eat is garbage

Pre-cooked bacon is slimy and gross. It is nowhere near the same. For like 2 minutes longer you can just microwave uncooked bacon for a much better product.

You mean regular hot dogs? Because every hot dog I've ever had could be microwaved. Maybe it's just because 'merica, but try checking the coming directions on different hot dog packages, a lot of them can be nuked. It's not as good as boiling or baking or broiling or grilling or frying but it takes like 30 seconds or something.

That the main reason I don't buy that shit. That 2.1 oz box probably costs about the same as a pound of raw bacon. Even taking into account water and grease weight lost during cooking, it's a horrible value.

Since college I've always made bacon in my George Foreman grill not because of the "drain 90% of the fat" gimmick but because there's no splatter and the grease is contained

>grease droplets ALL OVER the stove
Stop buying wet-pack bacon you fool.

>>grease to dispose of somehow
That's not a problem, it's a good thing. Bacon drippings have all sorts of uses for cooking. Save it in the fridge for the next time you need to cook eggs, make a roux, etc, etc.

And a whole lot more depressing.

Honestly, bacon just takes a few minutes. There is nothing you can do with premade disappointment that you can't spare 7 minutes to make bacon for.

[Anonymous No.6595313]

On the same note I recently made some Smithfield's bacon and it had to be the most fattiest bacon I've ever had. Each slice was roughly 50%-60% fat and fell apart as I tried to separate the slices. I thought Smithfield's used to be good?

Someone from work eats pre-cooked bacon. They microwave it and it stinks up the breakroom. It smells like the ass of a dying pig so I imagine it tastes the same.

[Anonymous No.6595391]

They get away with it because the demographic that buys this shit typically don't check prices or give a fuck about money. They just use their EBT card and have no clue they are being robbed blind.

It isn't that it is difficult
It is that it is time consuming, hard to get flat bacon (though easier if you know bout pressing day bacon with a bacon press), and gets grease errywhere.

I feel you. I found cooked turkey breakfast sausages a while ago and they're so good. They look a little goofy but who gives a shit. I can just microwave them while I'm scrambling eggs and toasting bread and have breakfast ready in like 2 minutes, it's amazing.

>What's wrong with that cheese?

It's prominent selling point is "It melts!". That is it's most distinguishing feature. Why even bother?

[Anonymous No.6596788]

>>6596780
You can't claim it's disgusting if you've never tried it. And you definitely shouldn't tell other people not to eat it.

It's one brand of cheese, for people that want cheese that melts. Just like another popular brand of cheese.

Except it's not cheese, dipshit. It's Vegan "cheese".

[Anonymous No.6596816]

>>6596752
It's pretty awful, to be honest.

>>6596766
Haven't tried that particular brand, but other vegan cheeses I've tried have been fucking terrible.
Also, about 85% of my meals are vegetarian (I eat meat around three to four times each week and seldom more than that), around half of which are vegan meals. This is because that's just how people eat where I'm from, despite meat being both cheap and readily available. Vegetarian and vegan cookery is a lot more than salad and that meat-alike bullshit that vegetarians/vegans in Germanic-language-speaking countries eat, especially the UK, US and Ausland.

What bothers me most is that vegetarians/vegans always look to the east for dinner ideas when there are fucktonnes of vegetarian and vegan meals from Europe.

>>6596775
Obviously not him, but quite a number. I've yet to find one that's all that good beyond veggie burgers, particularly the ones that don't try to imitate meat. I like those chunky sort of veggie burgers with bits of veg and rice and stuff in them that look like really, really big falafel. Those're tasty.

>>6596788
While Velveeta is cheese, that other stuff is not cheese.

>>6596793
The vast majority are shit and you know it.

I haven't, but I never said dog shit was disgusting, and we're not talking about dog shit.

>Except it's not cheese, dipshit. It's Vegan "cheese".

We were talking about marketing, not the definition of cheese. What are you going to do in the future when we start cloning things? Wow, that's not a real sheep, that's a Vegan "sheep".

All entirely made up in your own head. If you don't know what the discussion is about, just stay out of it. You look like a fool.

[Anonymous No.6596857]

>>6596837
It's not made up, this is a discussion about vegan products, not dog shit. You've never tried vegan cheese. What basis do you have for your claims? It's vegan? It melts? At the absolute very least, I can make inferences based on my experience of smelling dog shit a few times. But even then, blue cheese smells fucking weird and tastes good. So who knows, and that's my point. I don't even know what your point was. You keep shifting the discussion.

Your other point, that featuring 'it melts' on the packaging is bad. So I told you that other, actual REAL ORIGINAL MERICAN cheese does that too. And you proceeded to nitpick my use of cheese and "cheese". Like, no. That is not the point and I'm sure you're aware of that. You're just running out of bullshit ways to defend your baseless hatred of vegan products and it's really showing now, trying to just end the discussion and calling me an idiot. Really?

Look, my vegan friend, this is really really simple:

1. Vegan pretend food always looks disgusting. See >>6596758 and >>6596766
2. Why would you eat pretend food when you can just eat the real thing?

Literally everything you've argued about since this point has been a figment of your own imagination. Maybe you need more B12 in your diet to boost that old thinker of yours?

[Anonymous No.6596945]

>>6596926
>looks disgusting
You should be more specific next time. I didn't know you were just talking about looks. "Why is all Vegan pretend food so disgusting?" is very ambiguous because a lot of eating concerns taste.

I will point out that lots of non-vegan food can look 'digusting' though

>Why would you eat pretend food

Because concepts like real and artificial are becoming more and more meaningless. Provided the taste is identical, why would you not? If you could create bacon without killing a pig, would you kill a pig anyway?

(It might also interest you to know that I'm not actually vegan. Since you keep bringing it up.)

Not the vegan clod, but I'm a sufferer of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pernicious_anemia
B12 deficiency doesn't work the way you think it does.

Because taste is not the only component of food.

Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining: no meat analog tastes, looks, smells, feels or has anything even remotely like meat proper. Tofu dogs are horrible, seitan "cheese"steaks are terrible and scrambled tempeh with black salt is disgusting.
Not him, but lots of it just tastes bad and/or has a horrible texture. I'm perfectly happy eating veggie-and-bean stew, tofu thoke or stir-fried gluten, but you know what? Fuck meat-alike. It's never good.
