From Bacon Dreams to Ramen Redemption

This product did not meet my expectations. I was hoping for a flavor similar to Canadian bacon, but it turned out to be quite bland. Frying it like bacon causes significant shrinkage and results in an unappealing, gnarled piece of meat. However, I found better ways to use it—adding it to ramen broth works well, and microwaving it for egg sandwiches just before it starts curling helps maintain a flat shape. While it has versatility, it lacks the rich taste of traditional bacon or ham.

Great taste

Great taste! Cooks up fast and easy especially in the air fryer. GREAT for a BLT on sourdough!! It is expensive, but I try to only buy it when it’s on sale for like two dollars off but to me it’s worth the cost, The price is much cheaper than eating out.

Mediocre

This should be labeled ham, literally. This has no taste compared to classic bacon. If you want something that's similar to ham buy this. If you want bacon go buy the conventional stuff. Is it good? Mediocre. Not terrible, but definitely not bacon either.

Love this bacon

Love this bacon. Doesn't have that salty taste of most bacons. This is similar to beef bacon
