My review
Eggplant Bacon
1
Companion
"Sweet 'n smoky bacon eggplant slices baked in crispy little strips. The process is easy... Great to add as a bacon replacement to pretty much everything (BLT, club sandwich, etc). You can break into little pieces and add to a spinach salad, Caesar salad, on baked potatoes, or in soup!"

I'm sorry, I didn't think this tasted anything like the flavor bacon should have and took a really really long time to dry it out. And yes, I have cooked with eggplant before.
