Well...of course it's not bacon...it's just an interesting substitute for bacon. I have not tried the recipe, but as I recall, it said to wash and scrape the inside of the skins, then marinate them overnight in a smokey, bbq type sauce, then baked on a sheet pan. I'll try to find the actual recipe and post it for you all.
Maybe I'll try making it. There are other types of bacon substitutes that I have made using various substrates such as shitaki mushrooms, eggplant, tempeh, etc. They were all delicious and a healthier alternative than fatty bacon. (Which I actually love, btw.)
