Vegans, rejoice! Lent-bacon-giver-uppers, sing to the heavens. I bring to you the meat-flavored apple of your eye, the key to carnivorous taste bud heaven, and, most importantly, the “how to” for being guiltlessly unfaithful to your self-imposed dietary restrictions. No need to pretend that you aren’t glaring with envy over at the side of bacon that just landed on the table next to you.

I present, Magic Vegan Bacon Grease.

Remember when I made fun of Vegan Bacon Grease on here? That got picked up by HuffPo and… Long story short, I told them if I liked it i would happily eat my words (ugh, puns). They just sent me a jar, so stay tuned…

It seemed to be the one missing staple in any vegan’s diet who wanted to pretend he or she wasn’t actually a vegan. Yes, I’m talking to those of you who buy chik’n patties, turk’y cutlets, meatless meatballs, beefless tips and golden fishless filets like PETA’s mission depends on it. I guess Peeta Mellark‘s too if you really want to go there…he’s a carbivore living off of mom and dad’s bakery scraps, so certainly none of Katniss’s woodland creature-victims on his dinner plate.

The best part, however, isn’t even the fact that it tastes just like bacon grease instead of some bac’n grease spinoff; it’s the ingredient list. Unlike most meat-imitation products with laundry lists of unpronounceable add-ins, Magic Vegan Bacon Grease has less than 10 ingredients, and you probably have most of them in your kitchen at this very moment. They include: coconut oil, non-GMO soy protein, sea salt, pure maple syrup, black pepper, onion, garlic, Torula yeast and natural smoke flavor.
