Other recommendations would be an Italian style or pepperoni style seitan. It’s got the bacon’s spicy smokiness and fries up beautifully. For this sandwich, I went with my house favorite style: seitan chorizo. Seitan sausagesliced into bacon-like planks is the perfect way to add that umami. If you’re going to be vegan or vegetarian, you’re going to have to live without the taste of bacon, plain and simple! Besides, there are a host of better ways to prepare non-meat proteins to sub for bacon and add umami to a breakfast sandwich. I most often see it being used in vegetarian or vegan recipes as a way to add smoke flavor to fake bacon. It adds an overly chemical fake smoke taste regardless of concentration.
Secondly, JUST NO! Yes, I am well aware that liquid smoke is a somewhat natural product made from distilled wood smoke vapors, but that does not change the fact it is a shitty ingredient. I stand firmly against those who claim they can make vegetarian/vegan “bacon” by using liquid smoke. Usually, it’s chicken or sausage, but as I now always have some form of seitan on hand, I decided that would make the perfect fried protein compliment. As I never have bacon in the house, I am always looking for something to sub in for the protein. Like my previous breakfast sandwich, this is a riff on a traditional NY-style BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese). Luckily, they did not have an actual “Fried Egg I’m In Love” sandwich and so this dish uses that name in tribute. Not only do their sandwiches sound amazing, but the music puns they are using make me furious for not thinking of them before seeing their menu. When I started the Music & Food project, a friend in Portland, OR sent me a link to a kindred spirit food cart & restaurant – Fried Egg I’m In Love. I can’t take credit for this music food pun. Of the Pop Era Cure, I have a soft spot for “In Between Days”, “Pictures of You”, and the song that inspired the name for this dish. I won’t skip any Cure song that comes up on a playlist, but if I’m picking out an album to play, it’s going to be Three Imaginary Boys or Pornography (which I consider to be their best). I don’t deny there are plenty of great Cure songs after ’84, it’s just I prefer Mad Bob to Poppy Robert.
I am firmly Team Moody Angst Goth Cure meaning the last studio album I liked was The Top and that really was not a strong album. I am a Cure fan one with one reservation: not the poppy Cure. Listen to the More Recipes About Music & Food Spotify Playlist
