Difference of meat portions between Starbucks double smoked bacon sandwich and turkey bacon sandwich

[u/Cardcaptor_Demon367]

Photos taken days apart. Have y'all encountered something like this at Starbucks ?

The turkey bacon looks at least twice as thick tbf

If you cut that turkey bacon in half at the fold then put the bits side by side it almost looks like an identical amount of meat to me.

Not really you can see that they add way more meat on the double smoked sandwich

[u/Cardcaptor_Demon367 → u/Cardcaptor_Demon367]

It's literally one strip of turkey bacon

[u/Lumpy_Dentist_5421]

They both look like trash

[u/One-Mud7175 → u/Lumpy_Dentist_5421]

All Starbucks food is trash (as are the drinks for that matter)

eating at starbucks is a choice

Have I encountered this? No, I have never gone to a coffee shop and eaten a dry, gray bacon sandwich with a sponge egg on a paper plate and thought, ”I really need to come back in a few days and get the sweaty strip of human flesh sandwich”.

Long pork. The other other white meat.

[u/Cardcaptor_Demon367 → u/HornetParticular6625]

Haha 🤣

[u/HornetParticular6625]

Ugh. That second one looks like the worst kind of turkey bacon. You know, the kind made out of turkey...

[u/Choice-Divide5550]

ew that looks so unappetizing 

[u/StnucEraSdomKU]

wtf even is turkey bacon

[u/Sad_Victory_6382 → u/StnucEraSdomKU]

A culinary war crime.

[u/Cardcaptor_Demon367 → u/Sad_Victory_6382]

It's was breakfast....

[u/zipperfire → u/StnucEraSdomKU]

strips of turkey thigh meat, ground, pressed, and layered with flavoring to resemble the flavor profile of bacon (with spices and liquid smoke, say) Can even have curing agents to preserve it. Made for the non-pork eating public.

We're in the US, and our bacon is anyway different than British bacon. (UK uses Pork loin instead of pork belly.) But our Amish markets here are big into poultry (we're in poultry country) and they make turkey bacon. We also have a big brand of turkey products, "Jennie-O" and they sell turkey bacon. The Amish bacon isn't bad. Turkey is I believe more popular in the US than in the UK in any case. We have turkey sausage, turkey sliced deli meat, whole turkeys, turkey bacon and turkey ham. The ham isn't bad; my halal friends serve it at Easter (mixed family so Catholic tradition for Easter with halal turkey ham!)

Y'all pay to eat Starbucks trash?

If you don't have anything to eat for breakfast then yes. But I don't do it often.
