I have never had a piece of pork or ham or pig products in my life. What does real bacon taste like, how does it compare to turkey bacon, and what do other trayfe (non-kosher) foods like lobster and shrimp taste like?

I don't think pork bacon tastes as good as people say it does.

It kind of tastes like fat. Not much else.
I've never had lobster, but shrimp is good. Kind of sweet and meaty. Sadly I'm allergic, so I've only had it once.

Well umm... Its greasy, and salty, it tastes almost like turkey bacon but not quite. Taste is kinda hard to describe...

Well, I'm muslim, so I'm right up there with you bro.
But, some of my friends say it tastes like "heaven."
Others say its repulsive.

I personally think that it would taste very greasy and fatty. Like a Big Whopper Mac.

Depends on who makes it.
If it's really good bacon, it's quite delicious. Though I wouldn't call it "heaven"

Bacon can be summed up like this:

The best part of the bacon is the fatty part. O_o

At least, to me, it is.

I have been vegetarian since I was about 4-5 years old. I want to ask; Does everything actually taste like chicken or is it really just some sick and twisted lie? Lol.
And does Quorn bacon taste in anyway like the real McCoy? (Because I find it doesn't actually taste very nice.:L)

IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's fatty and greasey. And salty. Yum I love Bacon. Best meat ever. But since I'm trying to go vegetarian I don't eat much meat anymore. Or at all. Once in a while I do.

It really depends on who makes the bacon but it's a very delicious breakfast choice.

Well it's quite interesting. Your tounge only recognizes 5 different flavors: sweetness, bitterness, sourness, saltiness, and umami.

So whenever someone has a new meat that your sense of touch has never encountered (say snake meat) your sense of smell begins to search for a category in your brain that your familiar with, it continues as you start to eat it and taste it, the brain tricks itself into thinking that it's chicken and therefor the taste resembles that of chicken.

Dude to be honest, bacon is alright. You can eat it in a weekend with eggs or whatever. When you start having it everyday...it tastes like shi....

Not really Microe. Bacon is awesome. I use to eat it everyday. And I never got sick of it. It's great. You should eat it sometime.

Currently living off of bacon (on pasta), I have to say it is better than living off of ramen noddles.
All a matter of taste, I guess.

Ramen is all fat and salt. Yes Bacon is alot. But at least bacon has more protein than Ramen Noddles.
