We tried that Yves Canadian Bacon yesterday and I tried to approach it with an open mind. I tried really hard to like it and I managed to gag a piece down with breakfast. I had to eat it really fast and in super big pieces and think happy thoughts while I did it. But because I was feeling so open minded and optimistic (read gullible), I figured there had to be a good way to use it.. and got an idea for today's dinner.
Don't ever be optimistic about Yves Canadian Bacon. Trust me. It smells like melting plastic. Don't even try to pretend you haven't melted plastic on the stove by accident before... when you leave a nonstick spoon in a cast iron pan. I can't be the only one to have done that. You know the smell.
Not only does it smell, it feels a little slimy, like a slug. Then if you look at it, I imagine it looks like Spam. I really don't know what Spam looks like, but it sounds about right to me. All compressed and disgusting. You can kind of see it in the layers up top, but it's hiding. As it should. Yuck.
The big idea was a roasted portobello mushroom (V'con) stacked with a slice of that bad bacon, some chicken seitan (DEOTS) all nestled on a bed of sauted spinach and topped with cheese sauce (V'con). It was a really great dinner once I picked off the Canadian Bacon.
The verdict: never again.
Even if my husband did kinda like it. He's out of luck.
