Cooking can be fun, and many people love bacon, but what about those who prefer not to eat animals at all, or pigs specifically?
While I was visiting some friends in St. Louis, I had an interesting conversation with one of their sons. He had something that he referred to as a form of bacon. Obviously, I was interested, so I asked about the process. Thankfully, he was kind enough to show me the process.
MAKING VEGETARIAN BACON
First, get yourself a nice big piece of an edible kind of wood.
Get a hand planer.
Use the planer to scrap the large piece of edible wood.
If done properly, you should be end up with a large pile of shavings.
Pick the largest and most "bacon-like" looking pieces.
Not only will this method produce "vegetarian bacon," but you will also be able to call it "select," since you selected the pieces.
Obviously this was a #humor post, and it was not intended to make fun of anyone's diet. I think that seasoned and fried in a cooking oil, this could actually be pretty tasty. It would be high in fiber, and probably more healthy than actual bacon too! Hopefully some of you got a laugh out of it!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
Hey @papa-pepper, first I thought you are serious... :)
Anyway, I will probably never understand vegans and vegetarians who are finding substitutions for the meat which look like meat. Ones you decided to do not eat meat why you need to eat something which looks like meat?

as a non-vegan that thinks i'd like to be vegan.
we've grown up on meat, we are used to it, we like it.
what we don't like is how it is procured, actually worked in a meat packing for a bit. it hurt my heart to be around it.
seems to me you must shut a part of yourself down to do something like that. if you look into the eyes of the animals, you'd find they want life too.
so cooking becomes a challenge, but is always an adventure, to make things that are tasty. i'm getting better at it with time, most advancement came when I learned indian style cooking, and some mediterranean styles.

There's vegan substitutes at the store that taste virtually identical to bacon. It's not really that hard to find.. Not sure what they are made of. Looks like some people use tempeh or tofu, or even coconut meat.
Though you are right about one thing, eating wood chips is probably healthier than real animal bacon. Heh.

Get dulse! It's the best - nutritious, delicious, inexpensive, and easy to find and work with. The DLT sandwich is a big hit on yt. You will not know you are eating seaweed. I put it in/with scrambled eggs. My vegetarian son would eat all the crisped dulse as it was cooling if I did not watch over it.
