Bacon Salt: It’s Vegetarian!

From the “Bacon Salt Story” page:

It was then that Justin told Dave and another coworker named Kara about his idea for Bacon Salt™. Kara, who is a vegetarian, loved the idea. Dave, a card-carrying carnivore and Midwesterner, loved it even more. Even the waiter at the fancy restaurant loved it.

That’s right: a seasoning that makes everything taste like bacon. And salt, one would presume.

There’s actually something to this. Bacon is the Great Seasoner, something well known to anyone who has eaten Southern cooking, turning basic blanched green beans into a soupy morass of savory slop. While I doubt Bacon Salt will completely replace little cubes of fat back in my life, I can see using it to add bacon flavor to attempts at otherwise healthy cooking.

Plus it sounds a little like “Bacon Assault,” and there’s nothing wrong with that.
