I've heard English bacon is different, so I'm assuming subbing some tempeh or carrot bacon wouldn't quite work, right?
The English type is from a different part of the pig and has less fat content, it's also not always cured or smoked. The US product called Canadian bacon or ham is closer.
I'm not really into "meat substitutes" so I'm not sure exactly what you'd use, but I think I've seen round vegetarian bacon at the store that's clearly trying to replicate the peameal bacon that's popular in Ontario, rather than US style bacon.
English bacon is kinda like canadian bacon, shit.
It's not always smoked, and is often back bacon instead of what they call "streaky bacon". But they have streaky bacon too. It's still salty cured pig meat; there's only so much variety you can get with that.
