Shoe Leather
Earlier this morning, I bought a package of turkey bacon. It was hard to decide which package to purchase - ready made or a full pound of uncooked. I decided on the ready made. Since I am attempting to lose some weight, I have been following my WW points and drinking a ton of water.
'Scuse me whilst I run to the bathroom
While preparing the family's dinner tonight of sausage and sauce (I'm eating a WW meal and a salad), I figured what the hell and nuked up 2 pieces of turkey bacon. Two slices are only one Weight Watchers point.
Taking a bite, I chewed and waited. I came to this conclusion. Turkey bacon tastes a lot like I think shoe leather would taste if I ever decided to eat shoe leather. Awful doesn't begin to describe the taste or the texture. It was just bad.
::sigh::
I wonder...how many points would it be for just the shoe leather?

I think if you manage to eat that "shoe leather", you should receive a minus two ww points!

My wife and I do WW too! I agree the turkey bacon is not the best, some brands are better than other. My wife also gets center cut bacon which is 2 points for 3 slices. And it's very good.

It definitely does taste weird when microwaved; try pan-frying it. My little boy absolutely loves bacon - he'd eat it every day if I let him - so I switched to the turkey stuff to reduce our fat- and nitrate intake. We don't really notice the difference now.
