Now Even Kosher Jews Can Love Bacon
Published on March 12, 2008 by Daniel Taylor · 3 Comments
It seems like any Jew I know who “breaks k” loves Bacon. I have also known more than a few vegetarians who secretly sneak a slab of bacon in their breakfast from time to time. Something about the taste of Bacon is enough to supercede almost any moral, or religious (or healthy) dietary regimen. But now you can fulfill your bacon jones without compromising your values, thanks to the ingenious Bacon Salt, a “zero calorie, vegetarian, kosher-certified seasoning that makes everything taste like real bacon.” Check out their web site for their full range of bacon salts (original, hickory and peppered) and related merch, as well as some pretty bomb sounding recipe indes, including BACON MAYONAISE!!!!!111
Bacon Mayonnaise
(Goes great with steamed artichokes or in a crab salad)
- 1 cup soy oil
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons sherry vinegar
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Season with pepper and Bacon Salt
Whisk the lemon juice, vinegar and egg yolks together very well. Slowly add the oil while whisking rapidly. You are looking for the acid and the oil to emulsify and thicken, so go slow. Once thickened, season well with Bacon Salt.

haha so true. i am jewish and addicted to western bacon cheeseburgers from carls jr. coming back from israel in january i had to get my bacon jones.
Having visited a pig farm, I can see why pork is considered to be “unclean” by some religious groups. The smell alone on a pig farm is enough to make you throw up.
I’m for anything that tastes like bacon but doesn’t contain bacon. Bacon tastes and smells so tantalizing, but, as the Bible says, “There is a way that seemeth right unto man, but the way thereof is of death and destruction. Sorry, bacon lovers…haha
Bacon salt is good, and kosher, but kosher DAIRY, not parve…
