Friends Don't Let Friends Eat Baconnaise.

I said in my first post that I might review J&D's Baconnaise.  Here's my review: it's horrible.  It's not worth doing an in-depth review with pictures and all that.  It's just not good stuff.

I've had a jar of Baconnaise since Christmas, and I've been trying to work up the courage to crack it open and give it a shot.  I tried it on a turkey sandwich.  Simple, right?  Seemed like the best way to start off with the stuff.  At first taste, it hits you with a fake meat flavor reminiscent of Liquid Smoke and peppered beef jerky, but not in a good way.  There's no bacon or mayonnaise taste to it at all.  It doesn't even taste like Miracle Whip, which is actually a salad dressing.  It just tastes yucky.  I couldn't even swallow my first bite.  I spit it out and threw away the sandwich.

I still have two packets of J&D's Bacon Ranch mix.  I'm not sure how I'll even go about testing them.  I'm even less sure if I want to at this point.

I think the problem is that the J&D's products are completely vegetarian and Kosher.  That means that they have no actual bacon in them.  I'm not sure how you get a bacon flavor without real bacon, but judging by Baconnaise, you probably don't.
