Default Bacon flavored seaweed

That's right. Seaweed with twice the nutritional value of kale that tastes like bacon when fried. Personally, I will have my doubts until I actually taste it.

Researchers at Oregon State have patented a new strain of seaweed that tastes like bacon when it's cooked.

The seaweed, a form of red marine algae, looks like translucent red lettuce. It also has twice the nutritional value of kale and grows very quickly. Did we mention it tastes like bacon?

Lots of things "taste" like bacon. The problem is bacon is a broad taste. It may have a bacon-ish flavor but it will never had the texture (which is half of the equation anyway) or the fatty richness which is by far what makes food like bacon delicious!
