Review: Raptor Bacon


Don't I wish. It was actually Turkey bacon, but when you think of raptors keep birds in mind, look at the pubic bone, shaped just like a bird, and the word raptor even means 'bird of prey'. Try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex, he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. Now, back to the raptor bacon. I had to giggle because it looks like a dog chew toy or Beggin' Strips, because of the way they place colors in certain area to make it look like real bacon. I couldn't tell when it was supposed to be done, I waited till it sort of resembled real bacon, or at least what bacon bits would look like all put together. I put it on a bagel with egg and cheese so I can't tell you exactly how good it is, but it was pretty decent, it's obviously not as good as pig bacon, but because it's so cheap I will continue using it on sandwiches and the like, but probably would not eat by itself.

I don't mind turkey bacon, you can get i super crispy and its almost like the texture of a chip, so then you have a bacon chip.
