True, but turkey bacon in no way compares to the salty, smokey, fatty goodness of real bacon (see above: Jaggers does food porn real good). A significant aspect to bacon is its fattiness, which carries a substantial amount of flavour. Beef fat (unless perhaps ox fat) can't deliver the same smooth, sweet flavour. Plus, the textures of the meat are different.

Beef bacon may carve out a niche for itself, but it will always be somewhat of a novelty product like turkey bacon. Not that this would stop me from trying it, possibly many, many times.
Are you talking about my description of bacon, or the beef jerky underwear? :)
