Before Christmas we bought a pack of Tofurky Smoky Maple Bacon Marinated Tempeh. We then proceeded to bring it to my parents’ house with the rest of our food before leaving for San Francisco. When we came back, we realized that 1) my parents had not touched it; 2) that it was vacuumed sealed and good until March.
This week, we finally tried this traveling tempeh in a “BLT”: quinoa bread, lettuce, cilantro, and tomato slices were a perfect pairing for the this lovely product.
Slightly crunchy, smoky and with the distinctive taste of maple, this bacon imitation really hits a happy spot. It was not too salty, and did not have any weird after taste.
Granted it is not as crispy as meat bacon. However, all the flavour is there and in a BLT, we did not miss it at all.
Frankly, I think this would make a great addition to any vegan brunch, especially if served with tofu scrambled eggs.
Finally, as we didn’t use the entire packet (we only needed four strips each), we still have half of it waiting for us in the freezer. Glorious days to come.

Looks great I’ll have to look for it! I just tried their slow roasted chick’n in lightly seasoned & bbq both phenom!!
Haven’t seen those products! I’ll have to keep my eyes open! 🙂
Thanks gor the review. I am always reluctant to try v Egan products because of the weird texture or after taste, so good to know.
Yes me too, but my boyfriend was very tempted. It is a good find! 🙂
Thanks, I might try it now
Let me know if you like it! 🙂
Haven’t eaten this yet but thanks for the review!
You’re very welcomed! 😀
Slice those pieces in half lengthwise so that they’re ribbon thin and make sure there’s plenty of oil in the pan. You’ll definitely get the crisp you’re looking for. Enjoy!
Will do! Maybe tomorrow morning 🙂
