Yeah, I heard eggplant soaked in marinade then fried. Feel weird with veganism though like even if meat consumption went down I got a feeling meat would still be produced and any not sold will just be thrown away similar to how a lot of food nowadays. If we want to destroy the meat industry we need to destroy capitalism or at least the mechanisms that enable the industry to survive on the 'free market'.
depends on what it's in: if I want something salty and smokey (say, to add to pea soup), then I use chipotles in adobo. If I want something crispy (like in a salad), then I use seasoned croutons or a veg-based substitute. If I want something fatty, I'll add extra oil to what I'm cooking. Just think about what you like about bacon and focus on all the different ways you can find the same flavors.
PS - heads up if you've never had it, tempeh needs to cooked and flavored to taste like bacon (it's not even close on it's own, it's more like fermented tofu).
Was typing in girl beans and getting confused. Never knew that this was called this. I been doing this for years, when ever I would steam a chicken I would save the skin and fry it when ever I was low on oil. Afterwards I would eat the crackling with salt.
This isn't a dunk on vegans but what real substitute is there really for bacon?
None. Those who say tempeh are lying. But "What about bacon" is still the worst possible response to veganism.

Tempeh can do the trick.
I'll be on the look out for this next time I go shopping. Hopefully it's cheap, thanks.
Price isn't bad where I am. I'm gonna try making some at some point. I guess you just put beans in a bag with the right culture and it makes itself.
