• Okay, I hadn’t thought about pad Thai, but I love pad Thai.

    I hadn’t thought about taco bell since its been a while since I’ve been there.

    How are bacon bits vegan?

    I haven’t tried Chipotle’s chorizo, I’ll have to try it out.

    Thanks for the suggestions!

      For bacon bits, they’re talking about the drid stuff in the plastic cans - “Bacos” and similar. They’re usually soy based with artificial flavor - probably for longer/safer shelf life

      • Ah, okay. I was like, “how is something with ‘bacon’ in the name even remotely vegetarian, much less vegan.”

        That makes sense, although now I wonder how they’re able to sell them as “bacon bits” if they don’t actually have any bacon in them.

      Those fake bacon bits that are bright red and crunchy that people put on their salads and such are made from soy. The real stuff that is chewy is def still pork.
