Vegan Rasher Sandwich
Most humans like stuff that tastes salty, smoky and slightly fatty, but this doesn’t need to involve meat. The vegan bacons out there each have their particular charm. The most common varieties are the VBites rashers or else tempeh rashers, made by several companies: Impulse; Tofurky and VBites. Whichever type you choose, drizzle with a little soya sauce, put them in nice bread and maybe some brown or tomato sauce; sliced tomatoes… the rest is up to you!
