J&D's Baconnnaise Bacon Flavored Spread, Lite, 15-ounce jar (Pack of 3)

I'd been hearing about the product for a couple of years and finally ordered some, but inadvertantly ordered lite! Yuk! After much anticipation, waiting for it's arrival, and then finally opening up the (cheap plastic) jar and putting some on a piece of bread to try it with.... it tasted like wall spackle. Ok, I've never eaten wall spackle, but I'm pretty sure it tastes like "lite" baconnaise. Then I realized after careful examination of the label that I ordered the "lite." Dammit.

Determined to finally taste the ORIGINAL baconnaise, I went back on amazon and (very carefully) ordered the ORIGINAL baconnaise. And it's pretty dang good! I'll leave a review of the original, non-lite product there.

When I saw the add, I knew I wanted to try it. I already have a mixed selection of the Bacon Salt. Good flavor, what I expected...but don't overdue it and it is better. Great on fries and mix it with a little lite mayo or sour cream for a salad dressing or dip. I will accept that it isn't as creamy as mayo, and it has a kinda lite,gritty texture almost,if you taste it by itself. Try it with peanut butter on toast. My problem is my brother, he uses mayo on everything and he loves it, so I hide a jar just for myself. It does have a pretty strong smokey bacon flavor by itself.

I am a bacon fiend and was very excited to try Baconnaise! However, after a small taste, both my husband and I found it disgusting. It tastes very chemically and not so much like bacon more like smoke flavoring. We threw it all away.

This jar of light coral goo is filed in the back of the fridge with "one-recipe" stuff and other exotica. It is waiting there for me to admit that my curiosity and desire for novelty beat back my better judgement. In a blind-tasting, "bacon" would not be my first reaction and the texture is slimy and unappealing (room temp or cold).

I was surprised how many haters there are for the Lite version. Disclaimer: I've never tried the full fat version and I'm sure it's delicious, but if you're watching your fat intake, there has to be some compromise. I saw this at the grocery store next to the regular Baconnaise.

Lite version: 2.5 grams fat per 2 Tbl.

Original version: 9 grams fat per 2 Tbl.

I'm used to eating lite variations (though not fat free, yuck) of sour cream, mayo, salad dressing, etc. So this wasn't a big leap for me. First sandwich, I was not impressed. Second sandwich, meh. By the third sandwich I was hooked. When by bottle ran out I had a hard time going back to plain mayo. I've been eating it so much that I don't even want to try the fattier version b/c then I'll be eating even more, yikes!

It may not be a good taste for everyone, and I can understand that. But it's yummy to me :-)
