Bacon Unwrapped

Real or fake?

I'm spending Thanksgiving week in Japan (because nothing says Thanksgiving like sushi). There is a thriving industry in this country focused on manufacturing plastic food models for restaurant window displays. Some of the food is disturbingly real in appearance. Here's a photo of some bacon and eggs I purchased today - I'm pretty much planning to carry this in my purse going forward because you never know when a photo opportunity for bacon and eggs will present itself.

  • I'm pretty sure bacon sushi is an American-only delicacy. :)

  • Heather!

    You gotta speak your mind to the Sushi Chefs. Tell them you are homesick, and shore would like some bacon in your sushi. Give 'em a wink then for extra bacon!

  • Fake or not, it looks like false advertising in my humble opinion. If your food looks that good, show it off. If your food doesn't look that good, fire your chef. More importantly, I just had breakfast for dinner with a nice pile of bacon. There is no comparison, looks or taste :)
