Vegetarian at an Office Picnic: What to Do?

[kentauros]

19. I haven't eaten bacon in almost twenty years

though I've "only" been a vegetarian for 14 of those years. I do still remember the flavor, and yet, I still can't figure out how it could go with chocolate. Kind like the fad now of adding rock salt to chocolate. Yuck! I just don't get it.

The bacon-in-everything topic came up recently with my family, and even though I'm the only veg*n among them, none of us could understand this explosion in wanting bacon. However, my father did mention that the bacon he buys is without nitrates, and he found it far tastier than "normal" bacon. You might consider looking for that if you want a "healthier" form of bacon. (I know, maybe not the right place to recommend someone eat a certain form of meat, but I do try my best not to judge others based on what they eat.)

Good luck with your diet, however you do it!
