Bacon substitution

Question

I do a great simple dish that involves bacon so I'm interested whether there is a vegetarian substitute for bacon. It would be quite useful having one since I use it all the time.

Here's the recipe:

I make small ball doughs that I boil for a couple of minutes until they are a bit firmer. In the mean time I fry bacon pieces (not slices but small square pieces) and eventually add dough balls to bacon and add sour cream.

Answer

Bac'n Bits are, in fact, vegetarian. They're a passably good crunchy garnish.

There's also Bacon Salt; which has many variety and spin-off products. It's vegetarian and kosher!
