Another vegetarian recommendation: veggie sausage. I think it has more flavor than veggie bacon, and sausage and maple syrup: yumumumum. Brings me back to those round sausage disks I used to get at diners as a kid, or for school lunch on pancake day (we only had links in the house, so the round slices were exotic to me). I used to break them up and let them soak in the syrup (Fake maple syrup!) while I ate the rest. Sorry about the proustian tangent there. But back to veggie sausage-for the health conscious among you it's often low- or even no fat. Sounds like a bad idea but actually really tasty! Not to guilt the full bacon, though, I'm a believer in a little of what you fancy . . Proustian tangents are always a pleasure, RT... :) PJH
