Vegetarian Pepperami
I was in Holland and Barrett earlier trying to source some Tahini to make Hummus, and stumbled across Meat Free Pepperami. This had me intrigued, and I am sure you are now intrigued too. You are probably thinking "Shut up is there meat free pepperami. Chris, you so crazy you see things. Having Pepperami without meat is like having a Bible without religion, it just wouldn't happen, you big Joey."Well I'm not mistaken, I have proof. Check it out. Sadly that website doesn't list the ingredients, as the ingredients piqued my curiosity further, given that one of the ingredients was "Smoke". Not only do these people claim to have replicated the Pepperami experience using only vegetarian ingredients, they have also someone how managed to turn smoke into an edible ingredient, like some kind of crazy food alchemists. Either that, or when I bite into the thing, I can expect a little puff of smoke to burst out. Either way I was in for an interesting food experience.
When I was a meat eater, I hated Pepperami. I like the idea of Pepperami, but hated the practise. I am happy to report that whilst the taste of vegetarian Pepperami does not exactly match the original, and nor does the texture, the experience remains the same. You feel sick afterwards. You regret buying the thing, you regret eating it. You feel emotionally damaged, on the inside you are weeping, as if the Pepperami has eaten away at a part of your soul. Maybe it has.
Maybe it has.

Pepperami is the junk food of the gods and to make a veggie version is just pure evil.
If vegetarians want to stop eating meat they should stop trying to re-create meat with their tofu based diet.
Stick to the greens people!!!
Pepperamis are great. They used to have 125% meat content or something, so they're not that bad...
Anyway, you know in their slogan - Pepperami - it's a bit of an animal - which bit of the animal are they referring to?
And did yours have a similarly worded slogan like Veggie Pepperami - it's a bit of a vegetable or something?
Heh.
