Advantages: Good addition to foods

Disadvantages: None

We are big fans of the "bacon bits" in the pizza hut sald bar. So when I saw these for sale in Cost Co a couple of weeks ago I thought I would buy them.

They were a large tub containing 300g of the bacon bits - these are not really bacon but are bacon flavoured soya peices. The packet suggests that they are suitable for vegetarians but I always find meat flavoured vegetarian products a bit strange.They are great for adding to salads - as per Pizza hut - but I like to add them into a macaroni cheese to give it a bit more flavour. I also like to include it with breadcrumbs on the top with a bit of cheese to make it a really crusty top.

They can be little bit chewy rather than crunchy when they are contained in the macaroni but when they are on top they go really crunchy.

I am going to try them on new potatoes soon and see how that goes. They do have a good smoky bacon flavour so I will be making sure they are part of my shop when this pot runs out.

Summary: A good addition to the cupboard
