Scientists are currently cultivating a marine plant that's packed with more nutrients than the trendy green superfood kale. And it naturally tastes like bacon.
Bacon-flavored crackers. Bacon-flavored salad dressing. These are just two of the savory treats that have been created so far using the domesticated strain of dulse (Palmaria palmata), a kind of red algae, or seaweed, that typically grows in the waters along northern Pacific and Atlantic coastlines.
I wonder if this will pass muster with my kosher- and halal-observing friends.

Kosher food has its advantages. Last time I checked, it was subject to higher standards of inspection than USDA required, and not just the superstitious parts. Halal food stores also have really good food you can't find elsewhere, though I can't speak for the inspection standards wrt halal specifically. Naan comes to mind. Too lazy to bake my own, and the stuff they pass for naan at conventional grocery stores is a sad joke.
Don't get me wrong, I love me some bacon, but it's not like nothing of value is gained in this case by their existence.
Don't blame me, I voted for moose wang!
