...and now my outing:
Hello, my name is Penguin and I am a vegetarian! And the smell of bacon doesn't really smell appealing to me...

- but it neither offends me.
I must say that the best smelling meat to my nose is the one at a bbq - especially when it has been marinaded.
Despite beeing meatfree since almost 19 years I do taste it from time to time, seing if I miss something - guess the german in me needs his sausage from time to time...
For some sorts of meat there are some good substitutes - like for ground meat and yes, even pork - I cook a good veggie gyros - all a matter of seasoning. We have a great chinese restaurant here, they make the best veggie duck in the world - even with the crispy skin! On the other hand there are some distinctive flavors of meat where I haven't found a substitute for, game and bacon fall into this category.

I support the idea of a vegetarian recipe threat, not with recipes where you just change the meat to a vegetarian alternative, but where the whole composition is coherent without meat - like in many indian dishes. Though I am too sick and uncreative to write about recipes atm.
