Anyone using beef bacon? I was watching 'Diners, Drive-ins and Dives' the
other day. Someone made a sandwich with beef bacon.

You might find it in a Kosher store. How the customers acquired a taste
for bacon I don't know :-) Real bacon is definitely better and there's
also turkey bacon if you want to try something different. I've seen that
in Trader Joe's.

I can get beef bacon at my local Dutch butcher. I have never tried it,
but it is available.

We had an A& W across the street from my highschool and often went there
for lunch. After 1/4 of the students in the school we Jews and they
almost always had cheese and bacon burgers. Most of them could not have
them at home. I don't know where they would have acquired the taste for
them,

I was once at a party hosted by a muslim (with a non-muslim wife) . They
served ham. It was just after the Iranian revolution. The host quipped
that if he were to serve ham back home in Iran it would be his head that
ended up on the platter.

At lunch at a Chinese restaurant, he allowed a Chines colleague to do all
the ordering. He was particularly enthusiastic about a "beef" dish not
realising that it was pork.

Well, it definitely has to be pork. I just finished my brunch, which
included a couple slices of side bacon and a slice of peameal bacon.

Sounds like General Tsu's/Gao's chicken, or chicken-fried pork.

As mentioned before, my local Dutch butcher makes and sells beef bacon.
Maybe I should try some and see what it is like. It might be a skewed
sample because they make incredible bacon and peameal bacon. When my
son comes to visit he usually makes a point of going to the Dutch
butcher to get some back bacon, peameal and breakfast sausage.

It is. In some Muslim countries they use a chicken based bacon on
halal beef burgers. .

It was on a show called "Fast Food Goes Global". Amazing what
McDonalds, Subway, Dominoes and so forth serve in Singapore, Taiwan,
India, etc.

Pizza with mustard, pizza with a layer of cheesecake, sandwiches with
wasabi mayo, lots of hot peppers.
