Sluttishly Savoury: Bacon Salt

I am vegetarian. My boyfriend, however, is not. He will eat any and all kinds of meat, including the grim bits like kidneys and ox cheek. Blee. This can create a dilemma at tea time if I'm in charge of cooking. He has three options: eat my delicious and awesome vegetarian meal, add some meat to it, cook something else.

Until now. Because now the world has given us option four: bacon salt.


Finally, everything can taste of bacon. It's suitable for vegetarians so I can report that it's smoky and salty and great on potato wedges. I have no idea whether it replicates the exact bacon taste but it is good, in a dirty sort of way.

We've got the original version but it comes in a range of flavours including hickory, jalapeno and applewood (no, me either). It's £2.95 for a jar or £6.99 for a pack of three.
