When my son was 9 years old, he was totally obsessed with bacon. And I’m sure most people would think that’s totally normal, except…  my son has never had real bacon in his life. Tempeh and soy-based, yes. But real, animal-sourced bacon, never.

So I’m not quite sure who to blame for this obsession. TV commercials, Guy Fiery and his Triple D show, YouTube… It doesn’t matter, really. As long as I have an alternative that makes him happy, it’s all good. After all, he’s never had “the real thing” so, in my opinion, he’s not really missing out on anything.

That’s an argument I have with my non-vegetarian friends all the time. Whenever we talk about food, they often bring up all the things I’m missing out on because of my dietary restrictions. Particularly when it comes to two things: bacon (which, honestly, I don’t think I would eat even if I could!) and shellfish (lobster being one of the main things).

And I always have to “defend” myself using the same argument: can you really miss something you’ve never had???

In my opinion, no, you cannot.

So if you find an equally delicious and satisfying alternative that follows your dietary guidelines, why not go for it?! As long as you’re enjoying it, who cares!

Perfect example, right here: a vegan “lobster” roll. Is it lobster? No. Does it taste like lobster? We have no idea. Kinda looks like it, but I highly doubt it. What I do know, however, is that it is DELICIOUS! Creamy, buttery, salty and messy. And the recipe?? Super EASY. Works for me!!

Hope it works for you, too 😉

Enjoy!
