stimulated bacon bits... i believe they are the reconstruction of a francis Bacon painting, dipped in salt and chemical number 5829CX34, and then baked to a crisp. no pigs are harmed in their preparation.

as a vegetarian 30 years, its so long since i had the original, that i have no desire to replicate it. but then, there are two sorts of vegetarians....

those who eat pretend meat, and those who dont.
